> I do agree with you that China is basically a modern day nazi germany, pre WW2 at this point.
That's part of my frustration with all of this w.r.t. the Hong Kong riots. China has been this way for _decades_. Finally we get some western exposure to just how determined the CCP are to control their citizenry. I hope the resistance and world exposure keep pressure on the CCP, but honestly I don't see them caving. (If you think western politics has it's problems look no further than the CCP as an example of what real dogma is all about). I know an all-out civil war would leave a country full of wonderful people in ruins, but I don't see any other way around dismantling the CCP.
I think the mass Uighur genocide and relatively recent economic & military power was the real tipping point. Before that they were yet another dictatorship.
