Introduction and summary
According to "Hong Kong protests: China condemns 'appalling' attack on official in UK", the sequential anti-government protest in Hong Kong has been expanded to foreign countries. In north London, the UK, a Hong Kong’s justice secretary surrounded and attached by a group of protesters, and she injured her arm. The video shows when she was walking towards the institutions of Arbitrators, someone shouted to her “murderer” and shows what happened and how she injured. The Chinese government criticized this violence protest and need the UK government to arrest the protesters and make sure the safety of Chinese people in the UK. The Hong Kong government also condemned them.

Response: What is your opinion?
The protest has been continuing for over 7 months even though the extradition bill was withdrawn in September. Moreover, the horrible protest has happened in the UK. It’s very sad news, and that distresses a lot of people in the world.
Hongkongners need full democracy now. In China, there is no Democracy. So that, The Chinese don't know the actual meaning of Democracy and they are unable to imagine what a frighten thing it is for Hongkongers to harm democracy. However, we should not use violent actions for any reasons. In this point, I support the Chinese and the Hong Kong government.
If I ware Hongkonger, I would not be at home, definitely. I would try to come up with several kinds of nonviolent actions such as the umbrella movement in 2004, which I was so touched. I could join a protest action at an airport to lead many flights being cancelled as Hongkongers did or I would join strikes and boycotts or I could create an alternative media against the government. Democracy has developed against violence in our history. If we face a situation, which we have to recover Democracy, we should not take violence actions again; we should improve nonviolence action to solve conflicts.
Hongkongers political awareness is very high regardless age or sex. They are always thinking about domestic political affairs and external relationship. Hongkongers should determine Hong Kong’s future. I hope they win and gain a fare election system without any violence actions in the near future and I believe it would be a good role model in the world. ____________________________________
