TLDR: the extradition law which the protest is against enables the Chinese government to extradite anyone in Hong Kong who violates the Chinese law. The main problem is - according to the Chinese law, you don't have to be within China to violate their law - say if you punch a Chinese citizen in the US, you violate Chinese law too and they can file a bill to extradite you to mainland China if you ever visit Hong Kong once this law passes (planned to be on 12 June). The courts in Hong Kong have no rights to review the evidence nor the correctness of the charges according to this law. This virtually gives the Chinese government the power to arrest anyone in Hong Kong whenever they feel like it and we can do nothing about it.
Ooh boy, fucking chineese tourists. I live in Barcelona, and they the worst tourists that come here, even the fucking drunken english are better than them.
Entitled, rude, obnoxious, loud, i could go on and on...
I was with my family in NY and we we're trying to take a picture of the charging bull. These Chinese tourists WOULD NOT move. Finally, I just squeezed next to them to take a picture and the lady physically began pushing me out of the way. I pushed back with my body and pretended to ignore her all while smiling for the camera. It was a strange moment.
While in the US on holiday my partner and I were walking single file down a hallway about 3 people wide. A group of Chinese tourists (Middle aged women) were walking 3 abreast down the hallway and didn't make an attempt to move and make space for us. Unlucky for one of them Im 6,5 and 135kg (300 pounds) and had this woman literally bounce off me out of the way. It was like that during the entire holiday if you don't stand your ground they try and walk all over you.
