Current Events > lol at how mainland China is trying to spin the extradition bill

(+) Yeah! (+)

Some older Chinese folk told me the bill was to help Taiwan because of a case where Hong Kong unfairly tried a Taiwan case. I thought it was total bullshit at first because China treats Taiwan like shit, but it looks like there was some merit at first on wikipedia

In early 2018, 19-year-old Hong Kong resident Chan Tong-kai allegedly killed his pregnant girlfriend Poon Hiu-wing in Taiwan, then returned to Hong Kong. Chan admitted to Hong Kong police that he killed Poon, but the police were unable to charge him for murder or extradite him to Taiwan because no agreement is in place.[9] Until May 2019, the two ordinances in Hong Kong, the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Ordinance, were not applicable to the requests for surrender of fugitive offenders and mutual legal assistance between Hong Kong and Taiwan.[9][10] In February 2019, the government proposed changes to fugitive laws, establishing a mechanism for case-by-case transfers of fugitives by the Hong Kong Chief Executive to any jurisdiction with which the city lacks a formal extradition treaty, which it claimed would close the "legal loophole".[11] Beijing's involvement in the proposed bill caused great concerns in Hong Kong.[12]

but then Taiwan comments.

Although Taiwan authorities had attempted to negotiate directly with the Hong Kong government to work out a special arrangement, the Hong Kong government did not respond. Taipei also stated it would not enter into any extradition agreement with Hong Kong that defined Taiwan as part of the People's Republic of China. It opposed the proposed bill on grounds that Taiwanese citizens would be at greater risk of being extradited to Mainland China.[30] "Without the removal of threats to the personal safety of [Taiwan] nationals going to or living in Hong Kong caused by being extradited to mainland China, we will not agree to the case-by-case transfer proposed by the Hong Kong authorities," said Chiu Chui-cheng, deputy minister of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council. He also described the Taipei homicide case as an "excuse" and questioned whether Hong Kong government's legislation was "politically motivated". He added that Taiwanese people feared ending up like Lee Ming-che, a democracy activist who disappeared on a trip to the Chinese mainland and was later jailed for "subverting state power".[9]

Reminds me of when Americans tried to spin for a Muslim ban or telling non white American citizens to go back home

China can spew any shit they want and their citizens will lap it up, either due to blind loyalty, fear or both.

I just made a topic about this. China is paying people to edit Wikipedia with socialist propaganda. Which usually mains anti-Taiwan and anti-Hong Kong propaganda.
