The problem is, HK politics is controlled by foreign country. Where foreign country try to control HK public opinion for their own interest. Controlling public opinion means controlling the government of HK.
For example, foreign government try to manipulate the HK public to accept democracy, public election and one voice one vote. Something that they never ever mentioned before during British colonial regime. Don't you think this is very suspicious? Not only that, democracy activists are also everywhere and very very active now. It's not a secret that they are backed up by foreign government, from fund to think tank.
Foreign country do that, because they want to put their puppet in HK government. If pro-Beijing leadership control HK, they will use media to create scandal to make them look bad. If they do it right, they will even publish more scandals to bury pro-Beijing leadership accomplishment. If the pro-foreign government take in charge of HK government, they will publish a lot of articles about HK is good and "right".
With this kind of distraction, how can HK people do fair judgment if HK government do it right or not? 反对 and 抗议, how people know if this is not orchestrated by foreign government?
