To be factual, which you seem to hold in such esteem, Hong Kong is not a "nation" and has no new found "sovereignty ".

An easy to understand definition of sovereignty for your future reference is : The authority of a state to govern itself or another state.

You go on to chide a poster with " you must have trouble reading simple English."

This is ironic and indeed risible, bearing in mind you don't understand the definition of " sovereignty " and failed to use it correctly in what should have been a simple sentence.

I am somewhat surprised someone with your deep and extensive knowledge of China would make such simple mistake in your opening post.

"Hong Kong to ban all flights to the UK". It really is very simple to understand. Why are you having so much trouble doing so? Maybe the news has come as bad timing for you :-)

Pro China, EU & Palestine

I think you are Chinese. The way you write. Is this why you are pro China?

I do understand.

Are you clear now on the meanings of nation and sovereignty?

As usual you seek to personalise when your errors are highlighted.

Anyway, useful to have an expert Sinophile such as yourself to shed light on things Chinese.

My highlighting your lack of understanding the meaning of words is to help you make better posts, to be fair there is a lot of room for improvement.

Pivot as much as you want to the article, the content of which I have not disputed.

It's your incorrect use and misunderstanding of the words nation and sovereignty that makes it difficult to take your opinions seriously with such a basic flaw in the use of English.

That's why your criticism of someone else's ability to read English is so laughable.

If English is not your first language I apologise for being critical on your use of the language.

Pardon my ignorance but I thought one of the reasons why people in Hong Kong have been protesting is that they believe the Hong Kong government are just a bunch of Quislings for the Chinese government.

As Hong Kong is not a nation I assume that Peking is responsible for all external affairs.

Just a thought.
