MALAYSIANS supporting the protests in Hong Kong do not know the difference between right and wrong, a Chinese embassy official has reportedly said.
In an Oriental Daily report, Minister Counsellor Chen Chen of the People’s Republic of China embassy in Kuala Lumpur also said those who supported the Hong Kong protesters did not know the “true meaning of democracy”.
Chen had said this when giving a speech in Kuala Lumpur at a ceremony to commemorate World War II victims, according to the Chinese newspaper.
Chen did not name any groups in Malaysia during his speech. However, Bersih 2.0 and Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) had in June issued a joint statement condemning the Hong Kong police’s use of force on protesters.
DAP Youth chief Howard Lee had also issued a statement in support of the protesters.
The protests, which began three months ago over an extradition bill, has swelled into demands for greater democracy and freedom from Beijing’s control.
Chen said supporting the protests would not improve the situation in Hong Kong and urged Malaysians supporting the protesters to “look at things objectively”.
He said Malaysians should instead support the Hong Kong authorities in their bid to end the chaos and violence.
He said the protests had gone beyond the “boundaries of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly”, and had disrupted the rule of law, besides threatening the safety of the people and property.
Chen also said that Beijing would not allow the name of democracy to be used in pursuit of Hong Kong’s independence. – August 15, 2019.

Are you aware HK has elections wherebg te people get to elect their own representation in 35 out of 70 seats?The remaining 35 seatsts, are reserved for trade unions, corporations, who will elect their representative?
This is inheritee from the British, i.e. do u know what is Tycoon?
Before the.Chinese takeover, Hk residents only have 20 seats, now they have 35 seats. Therr is actually progress
And the extradition bill, it is not a law to extradite people to China
HK law only allows extradition proceedings to be reviewed by Hk courts to 20 countries.
The bill is being revised, so that proceedings can be reviewed by Hk courts for other countries, i.e. France, Switzerland, Sweden,Denmark and many other countries, including China.
If a person commited an act in.China or Francr, or any other country, and this act is also a crime in HK,and the jail sentence in Hk is less than 7 yeas, he cannot be extradited. But if the.crime is punishble by more than 7 yeas jail in HK, he the request will be reviewed by Hk courts. It is for the courts to decide. It is for judges in Hk to decide.
is this a bad law?
where do you see it as a bad law and you support the violent protestors?
