Hong Kong is a Chinese city, you can't invade yourself.
Yeah, sure. Just like Port-au-Prince is a french city, Grozny is a russian city, Standing Rock is USA land, Kobane is a syrian city, and Jerusalem is an Israeli city, right. You're just defending colonial empires. That's sickening.
China isn't colonial nor an empire. You're defending the British Empire, which colonized Hong Kong before returning it to China.
No it's more like calling Jerusalem an occupied Palestinian city. HK was always part of China and the split and current reunification is due entirely to British colonialism.
