    Yes, USAid dried up FFS. It was nothing about democracy but again, regime change or an attempt at that scenario.

    I now feel what all those poor Hong Kongers felt a few years back. Seeing this just makes me feel so damn hopeless.

    I’m guessing pro “democracy” just means pro-liberalism and pro-US in this case?

      I would suppose it’s pro independence / sovereignty, but that’s generally a no-no topic

      yeah thats these people’s code for capitalism, yes.

      under the assumption that its the only democratic way, which is the exact opposite of the truth.
