One country, one system? Hong Kong

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

denial.

bye.
For someone who preaches about having an open mind and being so enlightened, that’s about a closed, narrow minded view as it gets.
nkotb, you're entitled to your opinion

but would you continue debating with someone who states the earth is flat or the holocaust never happened?

as soon as people deny established facts, rules of debate are broken, its over, no point

And what is wrong with this post that causes you such apoplexy ...pray tell!

Elementary my dear doctor.

Our good friend Cam Nivag was perma-banned, and then, every time he rose from the ashes in a new form he was chopped down like a tall poppy. Banished, repeatedly.

So, tell me good doctor, why are we expected to tolerate this genius clown after he himself has been perma-banned?

Personally, I have no interest in debating his usual straw men arguments. It gets boring after awhile.

But you haven't mentioned what you find wrong with the post in question. It seems you have problem with the poster not his question.

China’s parliament yesterday (May 28) approved plans to impose a security law on Hong Kong that has ratcheted up tensions with the US and sparked new protests over fears the city is losing its special freedoms.
The vote by the rubber-stamp National People’s Congress (NPC) spurred the US and Britain to call for the United Nations Security Council to meet informally today to discuss the issue.

And it came hours after Washington revoked the special status conferred on Hong Kong, paving the way for the territory to be stripped of trading and economic privileges.

The proposal passed by a vote of 2,878 to 1, and six others abstained.

I wonder how that 1 dissenter vote is sleeping tonight... https://www.businessinsider.com.au/chin ... tos-2020-5

Lai told Bloomberg News this week he thinks Trump should begin with sanctions against Chinese officials.

“The most effective sanction … is to freeze the bank account of the Chinese top officials’ corrupt money in the US and in the free world. I think this will scare a lot of them off,” he said.

Im sorry but that last statement makes no sense, why would the "guys who whitewash history" and deny established facts be my buddies?
You stated:
"but would you continue debating with someone who states the earth is flat or the holocaust never happened?

Which I defended as correct and asked why Andrew Nasia had paroxysms over the statement.
