As soon as #China becomes a #democratic state under the #ruleofLaw that grants its citizens #civicrights, the situation is entirely different.
For now, #HongKong was the canary in the coal mine on how #OneStateTwoSystems works. People in #Taiwan have witnessed that canary die and they want none of that experience.
#TaiwanisnotChina
On another note:
#Beijing also promised #HongKong autonomy for a full 50 years as a SAR within #China under the #onestatetwosystems approach.
Man, those Chinese years sure are short. And #TerryGou is not all that smart if he believes in any kind of promises made by the ghoulish #CCP.
#Taiwan #elections
Since unbearable prick #Musk,Elon seems to think that #civicrights and #freedoms are pretty much alright in #HongKong and the #onestatetwosystems model would be a good way for #Taiwan to submit to #China, here's some news for this greedy rich bastard with zero empathy:
Under the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw, teenagers are being sentenced now.
Elon: If you want to suck off the #CCP so badly, why don't YOU join #XiJinping's dark empire of eternal lockdowns, you maggot?!

No: #China is not "reforming" the electoral rules for #HongKong. It's factually eliminating #civicrights and #democracy with its drivel about #patriots.
For the #CCP, patriotism is swallowing all of its crap without any complaint. It's servile #submission.
No wonder #Taiwan won't buy into the #onestatetwosystems nonsense when #Beijing is ignoring the second part of the promise while pushing through with the first.
Down with the #CCP!
Down with China's brazen #expansionism and #militarism!
The latest spat between #JawShawKong and #KMT chairman #JohnnyChiang goes to show Jaw's disconnect.
In an interview, Chiang rightfully stated there was no market in #Taiwan for #Beijing's #onestatetwosystems model which has shown its true nature in #HongKong. And Chiang identified #China as a threat for Taiwan.
Now Jaw is attacking Chiang for this interview, saying that he is going down the #DPP's way. Taiwan's existence is NOT a partisan issue FFS. #DownWithJaw 2/2 https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2021/03/05/2003753291
Bloody hell: #CarrieLam blames the current issues in #HongKong on «national security threats due to foreign interference» and refers to the #PRC as the motherland - that is unfiltered #propganda drivel with Chinese characteristics.
At least she is right in calling the #NewSecurityLaw imposed by #China remarkably efficient: it really is the most efficient way to show that the #onestatetwosystems framework is worthless rubbish. #Taiwan has gotten the message. #FarEast https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/25/remarkably-effective-carrie-lam-praises-hong-kong-national-security-law-in-annual-address
Better yet, #WangYi's threats against #Czech politicians has provoked some very stern words from #Germany's foreign minister #HeikoMaas who condemned #China for not honoring its own #onestatetwosystems approach in #HongKong and for #internmentcamps in #Xinjiang.
Well done, Wang Yi: You're an expert in flinging shit into a fan. #China has really lost its way under #XiJinping. The #CCP is massively overplaying its hand, and this is sure to backfire. Enough is enough.
In terms of #civicrights and #humanrights, #HongKong has always been considered as the canary in the coalmine.
#China is killing the #freedoms that Hong Kong is known for quickly. Seeing #JimmyLai being arrested is the final nail in the coffin.
#Zhongnanhai has killed off the #onestatetwosystems model. The entire region needs to oppose Beijing's unilateral moves to change the #statusquo. #appeasement will be of no use against #XiJinping and the #CCP.
By imposing its #securitylaw, #China ripped up the #JointDeclaration on #HongKong, disrespected the city's status as an #SAR and essentially killed off the Troian Horse known as #onestatetwosystems as a consequence.
Now China blames #GreatBritain of breaching the contract it has signed because it has offered political #asylum to citizens of Hong Kong unwilling to continue their lives behind the Great Firewall in a totalitarian one-party state.
My take: FUCK CHINA's CCP.
Now that the #onestatetwosystems scam has been killed by #Zhongnanhai, having wiped its wrinkly arse with the #JointDeclaration over #HongKong, does #China have anything left to offer as an incentive to #Taiwan?
Keep this in mind:
- per capita GDP is 2.5 times higher in free and democratic Taiwan
- Taiwan respects #civicrights, privacy and #freedoms
- Taiwan's society is amazingly diverse
#StandupforTaiwan
What a shameful #opinion piece by the #SCMP on the very day when #Zhongnanhai decided to kill #onestatetwosystems and the #freedoms and #cvivicrights of the people in #Hongkong
This is a day of #infamy - this is the beginning of the end of Hong Kong as a globally significant #business and #finance center. #standupforhongkong
After the district council elections in #HongKong and the general elections in #Taiwan, a pattern becomes pretty obvious: #XiJinping's #OneStateTwoSystems fraud is not selling well for obvious reasons. #China does not honour its promises and wants to exert full control. Dissent to #Beijing is not acceptable. *Sadly* for China, it gets rebuked at the polling stations again and again. And yes: That absolutely is a loss of face. #FarEast
#Zhongnanhai has never understood the motivation of citizens of #HongKong to keep up their #protests for more than half a year. #Beijing has no idea how valuable things like #civicrights and #freedoms are to those who got to taste them and grow up with them - unlike the poor subjects of #CCP rule and oppression in #China. #OneStateTwoSystems was one massive scam, and the people of HongKong have realized so. So now they are angry. #StandupforHongKong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUIDL4SB60g
Another severe blow for #China's dishonest scheme known as #onestatetwosystems: The People's Congress in Beijing has declared the finding of #HongKong's supreme court that the ban on wearing face coverings was #unconstitutional as irrelevant, claiming itself to be the only relevant actor to decide on the SAR's constitution. *Dear* Zhongnanhai: By fucking Hong Kong over, you are giving up on #Taiwan. Your *offer* to grant this nation the same freedoms as Hong Kong is worthless.
Applause for #Taiwan's president #TsaiIngwen for clearly rejecting the charade known as #onestatetwosystems on #DoubleTenDay. Not honouring its promises, #Beijing has already gutted and devalued this model of cooperation in #HongKong. Why should the free and democratic Taiwan fall for this trap? #FarEast #StandupforTaiwan http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2019/10/11/2003723756
