      It’s difficult to find information on Google because vague terms like “pro-democracy” are used leaving the readers to imagine what it means.

      I got what I told you from this Reuters article: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/national-security-trial-hong-kong-pro-democracy-tycoon-postponed-next-sept-2022-12-13/

      If you’re pro-democracy in an authoritarian state you kind of have to collude with foreign democracies.

          Are you a broken record or what.

      With limited information, knowing what we know about the Chinese government, I know I sure ain’t giving them the benefit of the doubt here

      Edit: interesting to see which way this sentiment swings the votes here
