What is frightening to me is that some people don’t even know they are being used by the communist government. Repeating things like the US sponsored this protest against China without any proof. Referencing articles with highly questionable sources.
Granted. Not all Chinese people are like that. Some I personally know are very level headed and see clearly when the state is trying to manipulate them.
I just hope there are more level headed people in China than there are hate-filled individuals that keep calling other people “cockroaches”. Propaganda is truly frightening.

It's in response to Hongkongers calling mainlanders "locusts". IOW, Hongkongers started it. You might want to know the whole story before deciding to pick a side.
> In January 2012, Ken Wai, a Hong Kong passenger, asked a Mainland Chinese woman and her child to stop eating on an MTR subway in Mandarin Chinese on a train bound for Mong Kok East Station.[15] Eating and drinking is prohibited on the MTR. While the kid stopped eating, the mother reacted with hostility towards Wai.[16] This infuriated Mr. Wai, who began to shout at them passionately in Cantonese... On 18 January Mr. Wai conducted an interview with Xinhua News Agency on the issue and expressed his anger.[16] (by calling Hong Kongers dogs)
It seems like it was not Hong Kongers that started this but a Beijing professor that called people "dogs". And the incident was pretty clear-cut on who was wrong. Although, the old man could have handled the situation better, the professor calling people "dogs" was inappropriate.
Were you genuinely misinformed? May I ask where did you get your information?
And I don't really care who started it. Two wrongs does not make one right.
I am not condoning the word "locust" either. All these words are disgusting, and have no place in a civilized discussion.
1) You told me I don't know the whole story, so I took your advice
2) When I find the truth, you say I am saying its the partial truth.
So basically, what I am getting, is that you are right because you said so.
> you intend to misinform and mislead
You made an accusation and I refuted it. The person misleading others is not me as I like you to recall that you are the one accusing Hong Kong of "starting it".
Please provide some evidence to back your claim instead of just saying you are Chinese (I am assuming not from Hong Kong). That means absolutely nothing in the context of the argument.
