How is this relevant to HK's current situation, Cemer?

You don't say "Yo soy Americano" if you're from the US. You say "Yo soy estadounidense" or you se "Soy de los EEUU (estados unidos)".
I am unfamiliar with macau's POV.

PRC couldn't even wait another 33 years to gain complete control of HK, talk about impatient.
Honestly, there's very little anyone can do. China are known for adjusting their own laws to suit them. They're one of the big 5, so there's nothing that can be done through the UN. I doubt China will go through the massacre approach again, but they won't back down from the position they've taken. Potentially the UK could try and talk to them, as they are the ones who made PRC agree to democracy in the first place, but like I said, China generally don't back down on any issue that they believe is within their own borders.

That the CP always wins, that you have no chance of winning elections when you are not related to the CP, and the only ones running in the election are in the CP or controlled by them. So they will never lose elections
(I guess)

Yes but if Hong Kongers all get to vote, they will not vote Beijing-backed candidates unless forced to (like Beijing wants for 2017).

thats not what i was asking; i was asking what type of dialect because i have never heard of this as an ideal at all, not for you to correct me on something which i already understood and wasnt referring to. i was wondering what dialects this is common in, just to see

This probably seems really minor compared to major world issues(ISIS, ebola, hunger).

I'm not making fun of HK's situation, it's pretty fucked up as it is and I wish them all the best.
But we did killed those pirates and then China took Macau from us. I'm still a bit salty.

Well that just took a turn for the worse. From the looks of things, the government realised they couldn't do anything while the international press are watching, so it seems they've cut a deal with the triads.

If I lost voting rights, then got attacked by ninjas for protesting that, I'd be halfway to Zarj's Canadian safehouse real quick.
So, why not move to another country, enjoy true democracy, and let China's economy take the hit of missing millions of cash spending civilians, along with loads of students?

Also, my 3am thinking process was flawed (surprisingly), the triads probably just tried to take out the people costing them business.

There aren't that many people protesting. Any others that support their cause but don't protest have probably realised that the students will lose and will simply disappear when this all finishes. That's how PRC works, anyone suspected of wanting to challenge authority doesn't stay free. China don't care if a few thousand people disappear or leave. As long as they aren't free in China, spreading their "poisonous" views, the government will not care.

Our 'democraties' are almost all different, but they are all made a way you can not change huge things in it.

National Taco Day. China needs more days like this. Everyone could sit there, eat a taco, and realize it isn't the end of the world if some people can vote.

Source? It was a Facebook group which I can't find atm, but I read it more than twice.
@ Exo: no "pseudo-revolution crysis experience" is needed to understand that China, along with India, is trying to bend over USA by making deals with Russia = a destabilized government would be indeed damaged for this way.
Do you need a picture to figure it out?

That's not it. China claims quite a bit of other countries as part of itself: http://rendezvous.blogs.nytimes.com/2012...irs-anger/
