Hello Alexander,

 ak>>> The laws of Hong Kong allow to check real motives for extraditing.
 ak>>> There is a good judicial system there, and the police follows the
 ak>>> law. I was impressed that the Hong Kong police always announces to
 ak>>> the protesters, "Attention, we are going to use tear gas! Please,
 ak>>> disperse!" ;-) In France, for instance, the yellow vests are
 ak>>> chocked without excessive words.

 LL>> In Chinese view, there is only one sun that rules the sky. Chinese
 LL>> sky is inclusive of Hong Kong and Taiwan and whatever else China
 LL>> say is part of China sky. It is all one China.

 LL>> At present, China is allowing Hong Kong autonomy. But only for as
 LL>> long as China want. Not up to what Hong Kong want or not want. All
 LL>> one China.

 LL>> Macau was treated same way. China had no problem letting Portuguese
 LL>> leave Macau. China had no problem letting British leave Hong Kong.
 LL>> I doubt China will have any prolem letting others leave Taiwan.

 LL>> The whole area used to be one whole China. All the same people. And
 LL>> still is, in Chinese eyes.

 ak> In any case, the problem of extradition criminals to China has been
 ak> fanned artificially.

Yes, it has.  For many Chinese in Hong Kong it is an emotional issue.
They love being an autonomous part of China, but do not want China
dictating to them how to run their own affairs.  Being Chinese, they
also do not want to war with their own people.  It is like, if they
burn, they all burn together.  Chinese and Chinese alike.

Egging protesters on to continue protesting does nobody any good.
The airport has been shut down for days as a result.  China will not
allow this to continue for much longer.

The issue of extradition of criminal suspects to the mainland is
an issue that can be settled peacefully without resorting to violence.
The protesters should be encouraged to stand down and allow the two
sides to come to an agreement that would be fair for all.
