HK protesters trying to humiliate and bring down its own government

Has Hong Kong and its residents throughout the centuries ever experienced 'democracy' under its various rulers, Chinese dynasties up to the Qing (Manchu), 156 years of British Colonialism and now the People's Republic of China?

America should 'adopt' these 'patriotic' pseudo-Americans & take them home to the USA 

Yet it (the protesters) now brazenly wants among its non-negotiable 'five demands', the practice of 'universal suffrage', even though its people can already vote in local elections but admittedly the candidates have to be approved by a committee whose majority of its members have political/economical links to the Communist Party of China.

The protesters seem to be suffering from the wet dream of becoming totally independent (from China) nation like a bustling Singapore.

They forget Hong Kong has a different history and politics. The British in a sneaky sinister scheme had the last Pommie Governor of HK Chris Patten encouraging and giving impression to the HK guppies into believing they could enjoy democracy on their own if they struggled for it (not mentioned was they need NOT run away to Mother England who didn't and still doesn't want them, unlike white sheep farmers from Falklands etc).

Thus Mother England washed her 'Pontius Pilate' hands off her 7 million 'former' citizens but ones with slanted eyes and yellow skins, thanks to Chris Patten's brilliant deception. His grateful country made him a baron, hallelujah. Mangy old lion as she might have been, no one deceived as well as England had.

Even Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong remarked of the current HK protests, that "Hong Kong protesters demanding universal suffrage and an amnesty for those charged with rioting are trying to humiliate and bring down the Chinese-ruled city’s government."

“The demonstrators say they have five major demands and not one can be compromised but those are not demands which are meant to be a program to solve Hong Kong’s problems. Those are demands which are intended to humiliate and bring down the government.”

“There is no simple solution ... to say we want universal suffrage, but Hong Kong is not a country, it is a special administrative region.”

“When Hong Kong is troubled, when there are demonstrations or worse riots, when the chief executive is booed out of the Legislative Council chamber, I think that is very sad for Hong Kong and bad for the region. We look on with concern.”

Undeniably, there has been 'outside' incitement plus (political, financial and advisory) prompting, but the reality is HK cannot survive on its own. All China has to do is to sit tight (as she has been doing though the US and EU have accused her of oppressing HK) and let the protesters destroy themselves and, unfortunately, the rest of the Hong Kong population with them, but to be truthful, such trivialities of 7 million suffering people in HK would in all likelihood be of little consequence to Beijing who looks at a far bigger picture.

The US Congress has passed an extra curricular intrusive Bill which would mandate an annual review on Hong Kong as to whether the Island has sufficient autonomy from the rest of China to justify its special trading status. Isn't that just gross interference in another country's affairs?

some are well meaning but most are looking after US interests, not idiotic Hongkies'

But it's in the interests of the USA to have other nations, especially those it sees as potential major threats (eg. China, Russia, anyone who is a major competitor, even EU, Japan, and one day India, etc) in states of weakened disharmony rather than as a powerful cohesive monolith. That's the Wild West Frontier mentality of the Americans, to eff up Geronimo and Crazy Eff-ing Horse.

Bizarrely, just like US imposed sanctions around the world, the actual-effective implementation of the Bill, should it ever come to that, (though no doubt to the delight of young moronic HK protesters) will hurt the Hong Kong people more than China, as previous US sanctions had hurt-killed Iraqi babies and children far far more than Saddam Hussein's regime.

But the Yanks don't care and the idiotic HK brats don't know.
