    Hm, I respectfully disagree. I think students that do hyper-nationalist things like throwing around symbols like the flag and the anthem aggressively is not constructive. They do it not for the psychological reason that they deeply care about the country; they do it because being able to attach themselves to a national pride makes them feel good. It is for their own self pleasure and ego that they do this.
    A true patriot will do what benefits their country when it means sacrificing themselves. Saying things that are unpopular but you believe is the truth and for the benefit of your country, this is patriotism. Doing this will not feel good. Society will punish you socially. But the patriot says it anyway, because their own self pleasure of throwing around symbols and feeling good is not as a important as the truth and benefit of the country.
    You sir, Simon, are a patriot. You say what you feel is true, even if it is an unpopular opinion among your peers. China is not great because of the people seeking their own self pleasure by aggressively indulging in symbols like the flag and the anthem. China is great because of people like you, Simon. 加油!

    • @Dowlphin
      @Dowlphin 4 роки тому +2

      That's not irony, that's related to guerrilla tactic approach.
      You are implying you musn't be using a system to criticize it, lest you be invalidated as a hypocrit. (Which people are not as long as they are not benefitting from such activity in a way that defeats the purpose of the critique.)
      China is speaking its story to the USA using the USA's 'language', while the USA wants to only speak to China in USA language. So what do you expect?

    • @L33tw0rk

    • @Dowlphin
      @Dowlphin 4 роки тому +2

      It is you who doesn't understand either then. - Even the CCP themselves are openly admitting they don't have a system with the personal freedoms as in the West, but that it is not the right one for China at the time, and that the USA shouldn't believe they are better and everybody else needs to do things their way.
      So with a known super-hypocrit like the USA committing an imperialist onslaught on the rest of the world, it is reasonable to use their methods of communication to try and wake them up to their madness. But of course the USA, through cultural warfare, has implanted this pathological projection in people's minds where they always accuse others of their own doing, the dumbest trick in the book that works quite well on the dummies they cultivated.
      The USA as a nation in their behavior towards other countries is a clinically diagnosed psychopath, and in that context one has to understand world affairs. More power means more influence. Chinese protesting in the USA to leave China alone are a reaction to a war waged on them and they are using the system of the aggressor to have an impact.
      All this conflict is perpetuated by war addicts. By people who are not merely reacting to aggressions, but who are devoted servants of suffering. And John Bolton, who is *national security* advisor, is personally receiving leaders of the HK protests. It's the same regime change shit as always, the same crap that has pushed neonazis into mainstream politics and pretty much government in Ukraine (with Israel's approval, naturally), to name just one of so many examples of the USA's ongoing madness, including their hypocrisy of condemning a bogus meddling in their internal affairs that they have committed for ages on others and is why some have reacted to that.
      So what's the worst that China has done? Something horrible, but *to themselves* . Even that was an *internal* affair.
      To the USA, anything that happens that they don't like is considered a threat to their national (in)security. And right now they are pushing for another massacre because burning up the fools, the pawns in their game, would be a success, for then they could cry "human rights violations" again and commit military intervention.

A fairly objective and rational consideration of the issues is conveyed and you must consider yourself an emissary to others outside the context of the current geo-political struggle. It is individuals, not governments, that we make progress and substantive change possible. Both China and the U.S. suffer from the "cult of personality" which conveniently shuts down discourse, debate, and progress. Thinking that returning to the past will bring a better future is not a well thought out idea. Make the world a better place, even if it is one human at a time.

    China is very different from the West. In the West, we can hate the government and so forth but still love our country. However, in China, the country is synonymous with government. Chinese people have a hard time to differentiate between country and government. If we criticize the Chinese government, its leaders or its policy, we do not really criticize the country China or the Chinese people. These are different things. In China, it is almost as if you have to be a good party member and communist in order to be a patriot. That is just wrong in my opinion. You can believe in other things and still be a patriot. I do not have to love Trump or any political party in the USA in order to love the USA.

    Hi Simon, love your channel and I really appreciate to hear your views on China and it's people, a rare thing to hear as an outsider. I am following quite closely the protests in Hong Kong and I really understand their view on all that is happening.
    I am from Ireland, one of the most democratic countries on the planet. I really appreciate the fact that the Irish people can hold their government to account, we the people have a voice on how our country is run. If that were to change you can bet that I would be out protesting along with my fellow citizens. Protesting is one of the few ways citizens can push for change. It is a vital part of our country and I would never want that to change. This is why I feel strongly for the Hong Kongers, to loose the right to self govern is devastating. To have freedoms taken away from you would be unacceptable for many.
    As for the Chinese mainlanders giving the Hong Kongers a hard time, I feel they do not quite understand why the Hong Kongers are protesting. They do not seem to understand what the Hong Kongers are loosing because they themselves have never had the same freedoms.
    I hope your channel continues and I get to hear more of your thoughts. Keep below the radar and take care of yourself! ^_^

    今天的中國最大的問題,就是習慣將問題簡單化.
    1.你是不是中國人:
    譬如說,談到香港,台灣,就是"這是我們神聖不可分割的領土."忽然,他忘了,是你的祖先割讓給英國,日本的.
    尤其可笑的,是說"台灣人被日本人殺死那麼多人,還愛日本人.","我們有殺死那麼多台灣人嗎?".
    他們忘了,一八九五年到一九二O年期間,台灣人不願做日本人,起來反抗日本殖民政府,才被屠殺的.
    如今,香港和台灣都是迎接王師後,接著對統治不滿,起來抗爭卻被鎮壓,屠殺.兩者情況相同嗎?
    2.我很有錢:
    中國有一種思想"貧窮,落後,才會被挨打."在這個思想下,如今的中國人覺得自己是有錢人了,同時,整個思想也剩下錢.
    他們完全看表面,開始嘲笑世界各地的人都很窮,都不如中國.
    只是,也許有一天他們醒來,就會發現自己還是窮人.不但物質生活是貧窮的,精神生活也是貧窮的,他根本無法打入別人的社交圈裡.

They are attempting to remove that right from others, and are thereby completely missing the point. And when anyone resorts to violence they do their side more harm than good.

Freedom of speech is a precedent put forward by the citizens against their elected leaders.

The protesters just want what was promised in the original one country two systems basic law. They are now more concern with police brutality and lack of response and dialogue from Carrie Lam's government. The best thing that can happen for HK is for mainland chinese citizens like yourself to have real conversation with HK residents.

The stupid thing that happen in Toronto was that the Hong Kong protester was saying "FREE HONG KONG" and the CCP protesters were saying "FREE CHINA". So what was the CCP nationalist really saying is a FREE CHINA is best but the Government does not want to lose their automatic credit card...which is the people that is under their slavery control.
