Whatever the shit is going on rn in HK

Okay! Here we go

The Legislative Council(LegCo) had their election and had the day where they take the oath a month ago

And due to the intense conflict between the more liberal-minded Hong Kong and Mainland China(more like the Communist Party, but most people say it as the entire Mainland China), some people made a politics party that called for the indepedence of Hong Kong, which the Communist Party is VERY against. If I remember correctly, around four people from that side of politics managed to get into LegCo(70 people), which also meant the Pan-Democrats(most? of them call for democracy) and the Pro-Establishment(most of them support the Communist Party) had near similar places in LegCo

Now, on the day to take the oath, two of the independence party decided to make derogatory remarks about China(note: not the Communist Party, but China), and the pro-establishment had an uproar about it

They took it to court, they used it as evidence to prevent the two from re-taking the oath, and even the government(also very Communist Party sided) decided to get the Communist Party to judge about the section of law that moderated how LegCo members took oath. Which was a major problem because the court was already ruling it

And meanwhile the pro-establishment kept stopping the two from retaking the oath by forcing LegCo to filibustering

Except that a very large portion of their policy during running for the LegCo this year was anti-filibustering because the pro-Democrats were pulling that off for quite a bit of the session last year, and the government yelled a lot about it last year But did jack SHIT about it for the last month

Nothing has been passed for an entire month, and because the Communist Party was going to have their say on the law, there was a protest recently and people threw bricks(it was the second time it happened since 1997, and the first time since that was around January).

Yeah, the classmate had a very good point, in fact
