Hello Alexander,

 ak>>>>> The laws of Hong Kong allow to check real motives for
 ak>>>>> extraditing. There is a good judicial system there, and the

 ak> 

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

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

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

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

 ak> It would be understandable if the protests sparked when a certain
 ak> politician was extradited to China as a criminal. But the protests
 ak> sparked when China wanted to get from Hong-Kong a real gruesome killer.

Some people (mainly Brits and Aussies) outside of Hong Kong and China
are using this as an excuse in order to stir up trouble.  Their fear
is that the Chinese could use this change in order to try non-Chinese
on the mainland rather than in Hong Kong.

Macau is part of China, not Portugal.
Hong Kong is part of China, not the UK.
Taiwan is whatever Taiwan says it is.
