Ad Hominem much?
Chinese people deserve the freedom to express their political views.
Yes, Chinese people deserve freedom to express their political view. And they can do such in the democratic centralism state. Research by Western insulations (in the US for example) shows that the 95% of the people are satisfied with the government
If you want to learn more about China and unlearn of few misconceptions and propaganda we’ve all been subjected to, this wiki sums up a lot a things: en.prolewiki.org/wiki/People's_Republic_of_China
Except the organization in question says that they are shutting down because they can’t. 95% of ppl from Hong Kong don’t want $emocratic politics?

Why is ad hominem the first thing stupid posters always grab for?
And can’t bother to learn what it means?
Saying an argument is stupid isn’t ad hominem. Saying the poster is stupid for making a stupid argument isn’t either.

Ironic response. Response said that the wrong word was used, but personally point was not addressed.

Oh, so you also don’t know what ironic means. Enjoy the black fly in your chardonnay.
