Pro democracy have won more than 200 seats from Pro Beijing parties. 1 seat is worth 100 million per year. Each politician stays in their seat for 4 years. This means that Beijing will lose more than 1 trillion Hong Kong Dollars as they pay Anti Beijing politicians. Financially, Beijing has lost.
Nayan Mipun. China without the US dollars is nothing but a paper tiger. Already tens of thousands are without jobs in China - because, USA is not buying and has stopped all Imports by 100% tariffs. Trump has warned Xi not to invade HK, or total sanction. There you have it. China cannot sell to other countries goods. Why, nobody has US dollars to import. Without US dollars China CCP is a beggar party.
Nayan Mipum. Listen, from your reply tells me you are not in the Import/Export/ Buying/Selling business. What is US sanction means? America tells all banks in the world not to sell US dollars to China. Plain and simple. China wants to sell only in Dollars. US dollars are own by America. How can you put sanction on America who prints its own money. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You better talk to your bank manager why only import is made in US dollars? And not in other currency?
The guest from China is try flip the narrative but failed big time. The regime of china is corrupted and ruthless then most nations which everbody knows about it.
This Victor gao analyst is here to defend Beijing and dilute the landslide victory by Democrats. Beijing plans to make it look like they have expected it and it is not a big deal(but with democrats increasing their seat count by more than 200, it is). He also kept saying that Hong kong is part of china. Beijing has said this too. In their view, protesters final aim is to make Hong kong an independent country but it is not. The final aim is universal suffrage etc. Independence is not the aim of protesters.
Hong Kong! You will needs to standup strong for your freedom today and for your children tomorrow, around the world are supporting you. Freedom for Hong Kong no china communist party.
Thanks to thousand of Catholic Churches schools and media.. And ofcourse current riots and protests.... Those so called democracy lovers support violence and breaking the law
This result of the local election does not change anything regarding the election of the executive officer of HK SAR of China The central government will be even more careful in giving HK SAR more democracy
It not about democracy or communism , China only want is a peaceful nation and unity country , China will accepted whatever result come out , China do have freedom of speech and freedom of voted , as long as the nation are in unity and a peaceful nation for the whole nation , China will respected the outcome of the result only if done peacefully , China not accepted with violence result only , congratulation for Hong Kong China peaceful result .
@Pub Comrad Why do you want the mainland regime to be gone? China today is currently the world's 2nd largest economy, so CCP's collapse would send *economic shock waves* throughout world markets and possibly result in global recession as Chinese investments dry up and Chinese companies close down and fire their employees. So why do you want such a possible catastrophic event to occur
@@agentc7020 western people branded all of the countries who are under communism evil, meanwhile the democratic country is invading other countries for natural resources and oil and claiming it's for freedom! Western hypocrites!
Those who supported the pro democratic candidates should ask themselves are they supporting democracy or independence, they should also ask themselves are they agree with using violence and self destruction to achieve their goals. China will never allow true democracy if those asking for universal suffrage is actually aiming for separation. China will only allow true universal suffrage if only HK enacts Article 23 (National security Law) of the Basic Law which the then UK Government and HK had promised China they would do after the handover, and that was 22 years ago!
It doesn't even understand it's One Country Two System. When did one country two system become HK system under communist system. Not only they don't understand democracy, they have no logic.

@@stopwarstop7334 one country two systems was designed for people in Hong Kong and Taiwan province get used to China communist political system in next 50 years.

So punks like you have to cope with it or get the heck out of Hong Kong SAR Chinese soil.
Step 1 is to expel the over 600 US diplomats in Hong Kong, and limit the number down to 5, which is more than enough for a city. Step 2 is to resign all judges with foreign nationality away from HongKong so that no other countries influence HongKong justice system. Step 3 is to normalize local media so that no fake news is allowed. Step 4 is to change the history book in school letting people know the truth what happened to HongKong 150 years ago.

His message is clear: the election is hopefully a good solution for the violence brought by those so-called pro-democracy candidates. If these people failed to stop the violence, it is clear they are not worthy to be voted for. As for Beijing, the fact is HK is part of China and no matter what happens in HK Will change nothing.

Who is the Hong Kong executive? The Hong Kong citizen need a person who has democracy, human rights and understands freedom. Not a copier or a follower from another country. We hope Carrie Lam clearly understands that. After the elections right now, we need an independent investigation community, not an independent reviewing committee nor research community. Free Hong Kong. Stand with Hong Kong’s fight for Human rights, Freedoms and Democracy.
Hk is a spécial place . It's identity should be preserved but not at the detriment of Mainland China. Winning councils do not means independent from China. Every one was tired to see violence glorified by certain individuals around the world.
When you talk about violence, Start with an independent inquiry into HK POLICE brutality first. No questions asked on the number of tear gas being fired for example. Necessity of live firing? Let the police be out of sight and violence will dissipate. Is just the people and the government.
Do you think China didn’t know how HK people would vote? This didn’t come as a surprise to anyone in Beijing. They let people vote to temporarily calm the situation down and stop the violence.
Many protesters who vandalized the subway and stores were 5 feet 8 and taller. Southern Chinese and Hongkongers are 5 feet 5 on average. Probably, those rioters were the police from mainland China or PLA soldiers. It's the reason why Mr. Gao firmly insisted that violence in Hong Kong is the problem.
@@Shenzhou. You're right about the difference between spoken languages. The masked people didn't talk at all when they vandalized subway stations and stores.

A great, but limited victory. These students and any other freedom loving individuals must start making preparations to leave Hong Kong. In 2047 (if not before) the Communist Chinese will be coming over the Hong Kong border and will begin to crack down on any freedoms the people of Kong Kong have now. There is no way the Communists would ever allow Hong Kong to become some kind of separate territory with the freedoms that these students want. People need to develop their work skills so that countries like the US, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. will be willing to let them immigrate. Twenty eight years is going to go by quickly. They must begin their plan now.
USA: Every country have the right to be independent... OH, its communism, no, it's wrong, no debate needed. No states can be independent unless we say so, let's throw out a bill to China.

China: Let's built more facilities in our extended territories, subjective regions HK or Macau and make it an international trade zone for primarily the tertiary sector. But a considerable number of HK citizens do not see us as being the same, they are not mainlanders in their lifetime. Despite the origin of their ancestry being Chinese, politically not the same. Taiwan's currently a renegade state that is historically a subject state to the mainland of China, can we become unified in the nearby future, a very difficult proposal after centuries of isolation in terms of association. Esp the opposition party for China KMT resides in that island for over half a century and they hold the legitimacy in governing there. Headache. Jackie Chan want no trouble face insert.
They say violent protesting is bad and people should do it peacefully. I mean, yeah, but why does he think that the protests turned violent? What's the excuse this time? Backed by CIA? Millions have taken to the street to say no to the now withdrawn bill and the leader didn't listen. If peaceful means work, no one wants violence.
No, Mr Gao. I will not condemn protesters when the government is the one responsible for starting this chaos and STILL refuses to do anything to fix the situation. In fact, she knows exactly what to do to stop the violence. She needs to give in to the demands of the protesters. That is all. Without that, look forward to more protests.
@@pinkatyou888 Yes. Withdraw the extradition bill. Independent investigation of the police force. Revoke the classification of the protests as riots. Amnesty for those arrested. Implementation of universal sufferage for the LegCo and chief executive. I fully admit that some are unlikely to happen. But as long as they make absolutely no concessions, the government will make absolutely no progress in mending relations with its people.
@@pinkatyou888 Universal sufferage by 2017 was written in the handover agreement, so I fail to see how it would violate HKSAR constitution. Universal sufferage is only dangerous for China because they don't want to lose power and let all the mainlanders see that there can be a good future without the CCP. People have every right to be anti-China when China breaks laws and kidnaps people from inside HK. It is good if Carrie Lam tries to talk to her people. But if all she does is talk and then says she won't do anything... well then, why talk? It's useless. If I want to talk to you but I won't agree to anything you say and tell you just to give up, would you listen to me?
They will never step up against the violence because they fear , it is simple.☺ Very sorry only for those innocent who lost their life in such barbaric style and most do not care yet are afraid to do anything about it. So sad.
The #1 priority should be stopping violence. Okay mr Gao, so please address the accountability of police brutality, it's one of the 5 big demands, you'll have a lot in common with the protestors who don't enjoy violence. Hong Kong is a democracy, but it is also China. You can have one of those things but not both, sorry. The people of HK have made their voices pretty clear? In very simple words too, so please address their concerns??? Also, unrelated but, Hong Kong is not an "internal affair" and it hasn't been for decades. It is inextricably connected to a number of Western countries who care about it's wellbeing and continued prosperity.
Only in a place enjoy true freedom, such kind of result could appear. If CCP really control HK, this will not allowed to happen. It is a basic logical inference.
I used to think Al Jazeera is different from USA MSM, and less biased nor anti-China. Guess I was wrong. Well, the election means the newly elected DC now needs to clean up the mess they created. Let's see if they can build, and not destroy.
as a chinese, explain it to everyone. Hong Kong has not undergone decolonization. so there will be democratic movements.but these are useless. because no sovereign state allows the motherland to split.
Problem isn't the democracy..or US interference, or Beijing appointing their own leader for HK..the problem is Carrie Lam not able to resolve housing issues, improving standard of living for the low income group and being relatable for the citizens, when people's lives are properly taken care of everything becomes a political issue.
What one lady said, "一個禮拜七日，六日催淚彈，你諗我會投邊個?" In a week, there's tear gas for 6 days, who do you think I would vote for? Rule of Law, stand against violence, the lot of police, if based on this legalistic basis, how many police officers would be arrested and charged in court based on all the existing evidence.
he is right that violence is not a solution, but there must be an acknowledgement of all of instances of police brutality. You cannot really have a rule of law when police act as thugs.
God I love pacifism so much Violence is so much healthier when it's institutionalized and maintained by a dictatorial superpower and not, y'know, in pursuit of freedom.
This has been not a vote of dissent because of democracy or 5 demands or whatever the protesters have been representing etc2 which have never been in the interest of Hong Kong people anyway and in fact threatened Hong Kong with destruction and violence but of frustration at the slow and unresolved reform of poverty levels of Hong Kong among others.
Anti Beijing or anti HongKong government will not change anything it just freedom of speech. Who said HongKong don't have freedom? At the end of the day you can anti this and you can anti that, as long as you express your opinion peacefully and not resort to violence. the election win just mean the government has a hard time to past legislation or bills. As for HongKong it still a part of China.
If the election is lawful and legal. I wonder if that is setting up a challenge to the vote. What this guy doesn’t get is the candidates are those very demonstrators.
Hint: If China changes from Communism dictatorship to Democracy like Singapore then Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet will join voluntarily to become One China Democracy, that mean supreme leaders have only 4 years term like the Presidents of The United State.
Why does this guy not acknowledge that their was peaceful protests before the violence broke out and the government had real issues that the people wanted addressed, that they did not. The HK SAR are incompetent to lead the HK people into the future...that is why the people rose up to make demands. The HK SAR have a legal duty and obligation to serve the HK people.
The Chief Executive of HKSAR (regardless of being elected by a 1200 Election Committee members or by universal suffrage) together with the members in the Executive and in the Legislative bodies must pledge allegiance to the Basic Law as well as to uphold the basic policies of China regarding HK (as spelt out specifically in the Sino-British Joint Declaration 1984).... Now that the election was over and it's the time for the pro-democracy councillors to work hard to improve the daily lives of the residents of HKSAR .... I hope they don't misread this election success to mean more violent protests and riots daily on the streets of HK (for the remaining 28 years before YR 2047)。
Demokrasi yang baik adalah demokrasi berkelanjutan bukan otoriter berkelanjutan bukan china yang mengendalikan hongkong tapi demokrasilah yang mengendalikan china.
Nothing happened. Nothing changed. Hong kong will still be run by hong konger. Jobs will still be hard to find. Houses will still be beyond most hong kongers. The clock will still tick and 2047 will continued to become closer.
hong kong is not a democratic country. it is a region which is part of china.hong kong enjoys freedom of vote because of the one country two systems i dont know whether what i have said is correct or not can peking votes shanghai votes please advise
If violent is not the right way then why police treated the riots so lightly...even UN open fire at protesters in Congo...Carrie Lam has failed badly handling these crisis

You know what the problem of this is? That we have somehow become accustomed to other countries meddling I mean if Hong Kong was another country then I would accept this political mind game but Hong Kong is China’s territory wether they want it or not and people reacting the way they are seems utterly undiplomatic to me but well whatever, emotions over logic I suppose
The toad-man is just trying to save face for Beijing. He's smiling but you can see the anger underneath. Keep prodding him and he will explode with rage.
But they must abide by the treaty it’s a treaty not a convenient Conversation about what they might want to do they are compelled and they notice to not abide by a treaty that they gave their word to not do so brings shame upon them and the whole world sees this or what it is.!!!
no matter what happens, if someone does something that hurts national interests such as security and integrity of the country. the central government has the final say. hong kong independence will never happen. china is not the uk because scotland will be independent very soon.
Democracy is a good idea, but it's too soon to tell (Chou en Lai). It's not the done deal so let us be open to other systems instead of demonising.

No, Mr Gao. I will not condemn protesters when the government is the one responsible for starting this chaos and STILL refuses to do anything to fix the situation. In fact, she knows exactly what to do to stop the violence. She needs to give in to the demands of the protesters. That is all. Without that, look forward to more protests.
@@pinkatyou888 Yes. Withdraw the extradition bill. Independent investigation of the police force. Revoke the classification of the protests as riots. Amnesty for those arrested. Implementation of universal sufferage for the LegCo and chief executive. I fully admit that some are unlikely to happen. But as long as they make absolutely no concessions, the government will make absolutely no progress in mending relations with its people.
@@pinkatyou888 Universal sufferage by 2017 was written in the handover agreement, so I fail to see how it would violate HKSAR constitution. Universal sufferage is only dangerous for China because they don't want to lose power and let all the mainlanders see that there can be a good future without the CCP. People have every right to be anti-China when China breaks laws and kidnaps people from inside HK. It is good if Carrie Lam tries to talk to her people. But if all she does is talk and then says she won't do anything... well then, why talk? It's useless. If I want to talk to you but I won't agree to anything you say and tell you just to give up, would you listen to me?
They will never step up against the violence because they fear , it is simple.☺ Very sorry only for those innocent who lost their life in such barbaric style and most do not care yet are afraid to do anything about it. So sad.
The #1 priority should be stopping violence.
Okay mr Gao, so please address the accountability of police brutality, it's one of the 5 big demands, you'll have a lot in common with the protestors who don't enjoy violence.
Hong Kong is a democracy, but it is also China. You can have one of those things but not both, sorry. The people of HK have made their voices pretty clear? In very simple words too, so please address their concerns???
Also, unrelated but, Hong Kong is not an "internal affair" and it hasn't been for decades. It is inextricably connected to a number of Western countries who care about it's wellbeing and continued prosperity.
Only in a place enjoy true freedom, such kind of result could appear. If CCP really control HK, this will not allowed to happen. It is a basic logical inference.
I used to think Al Jazeera is different from USA MSM, and less biased nor anti-China. Guess I was wrong. Well, the election means the newly elected DC now needs to clean up the mess they created. Let's see if they can build, and not destroy.
They are not free and they know it.. Beijing will gladly show them who is in charge...
as a chinese, explain it to everyone. Hong Kong has not undergone decolonization. so there will be democratic movements.but these are useless. because no sovereign state allows the motherland to split.
Problem isn't the democracy..or US interference, or Beijing appointing their own leader for HK..the problem is Carrie Lam not able to resolve housing issues, improving standard of living for the low income group and being relatable for the citizens, when people's lives are properly taken care of everything becomes a political issue.
Well said, Mr. Gao!
What one lady said, "一個禮拜七日，六日催淚彈，你諗我會投邊個?" In a week, there's tear gas for 6 days, who do you think I would vote for?
Rule of Law, stand against violence, the lot of police, if based on this legalistic basis, how many police officers would be arrested and charged in court based on all the existing evidence.
Congratulations to HongKongers. Way to go. A big blow to CCP! The truth hurts 😂😅😂
The only thing holding the Chinese government from crashing in is the threat of world sanctions. Economy would suffer extremely.
he is right that violence is not a solution, but there must be an acknowledgement of all of instances of police brutality. You cannot really have a rule of law when police act as thugs.
HK Election is every 4 years. Doesn't mean much for mainland China. Merely a HK election for a local district management.
To be honest
This is not a big deal.
Pay attention to the votes
The difference is not as large as that of the seats
VICTOR GUO IS A PACIFIST
God I love pacifism so much
Violence is so much healthier when it's institutionalized and maintained by a dictatorial superpower and not, y'know, in pursuit of freedom.
This has been not a vote of dissent because of democracy or 5 demands or whatever the protesters have been representing etc2 which have never been in the interest of Hong Kong people anyway and in fact threatened Hong Kong with destruction and violence but of frustration at the slow and unresolved reform of poverty levels of Hong Kong among others.
Anti Beijing or anti HongKong government will not change anything it just freedom of speech. Who said HongKong don't have freedom? At the end of the day you can anti this and you can anti that, as long as you express your opinion peacefully and not resort to violence. the election win just mean the government has a hard time to past legislation or bills. As for HongKong it still a part of China.
Hk belongs to china leave hongies
If the election is lawful and legal. I wonder if that is setting up a challenge to the vote. What this guy doesn’t get is the candidates are those very demonstrators.
Hint: If China changes from Communism dictatorship to Democracy like Singapore then Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet will join voluntarily to become One China Democracy, that mean supreme leaders have only 4 years term like the Presidents of The United State.
Who control the media, who take the victory
it means it is time to free California. 🤗🤗
California is already free and high too !
@@jamesfung3347 Hawaii and so on
Why does this guy not acknowledge that their was peaceful protests before the violence broke out and the government had real issues that the people wanted addressed, that they did not. The HK SAR are incompetent to lead the HK people into the future...that is why the people rose up to make demands. The HK SAR have a legal duty and obligation to serve the HK people.
Democracy ...how is US Poverty improving and what does it mean for the world?
The Chief Executive of HKSAR (regardless of being elected by a 1200 Election Committee members or by universal suffrage) together with the members in the Executive and in the Legislative bodies must pledge allegiance to the Basic Law as well as to uphold the basic policies of China regarding HK (as spelt out specifically in the Sino-British Joint Declaration 1984)....
Now that the election was over and it's the time for the pro-democracy councillors to work hard to improve the daily lives of the residents of HKSAR ....
I hope they don't misread this election success to mean more violent protests and riots daily on the streets of HK (for the remaining 28 years before YR 2047)。
hes a stoge or toady
The interviewee, mr GAO, is great, who stands firm on the core issue without being distracted by the leading questions!
I love Gao! He makes me laugh! He is super funny ! 'That's the key!' 'that's the bottom line!'
Against the violence?yes I do *agree against violence including government, polices,any people*
Kelvin Tang How irony. Rioters killed more people than HK police did. I know right. This is the practice of freedom and democracy.
Queen: “How did the little interview go old boy?”
Andrew: “No sweat, my lady!”
Demokrasi yang baik adalah demokrasi berkelanjutan bukan otoriter berkelanjutan bukan china yang mengendalikan hongkong tapi demokrasilah yang mengendalikan china.
Pro Democracy...... start paying your taxes, then you know what is democracy!
👍Mr. Gao
Can't wait to see democracy win in Qatar tho
They don't need when they have 100k$ per capita 😃
Nothing happened. Nothing changed. Hong kong will still be run by hong konger. Jobs will still be hard to find. Houses will still be beyond most hong kongers. The clock will still tick and 2047 will continued to become closer.
Yes Gao, you should stop all violence which was started by your party's order in the first place. Double tongue-man.
hong kong is not a democratic country. it is a region which is part of china.hong kong enjoys freedom of vote because of the one country two systems i dont know whether what i have said is correct or not can peking votes shanghai votes please advise
TROL VICTOR GAO
SUPPORT HK POLICE AND CARRIE. DEMOCRACY IS NOT POSSIBLE IN HK.. HAHAHAA
Carrie lam was very good at playing dumb. Well, it's one country 2 systems until 2047. No rush!
If violent is not the right way then why police treated the riots so lightly...even UN open fire at protesters in Congo...Carrie Lam has failed badly handling these crisis
Young people should learn from Hong Kong. Young Americans United against the Corrupted Establishment! Match toward Washington ! Revolutionize the White House
that guy is crazy and didn't answer one thing. they just don't get it.
HK will follow the footsteps of the west - going down hill in terms of economic, social value etc, etc...
Wow are you a paid troll?
You know what the problem of this is? That we have somehow become accustomed to other countries meddling I mean if Hong Kong was another country then I would accept this political mind game but Hong Kong is China’s territory wether they want it or not and people reacting the way they are seems utterly undiplomatic to me but well whatever, emotions over logic I suppose
Al Jazeera, when will the election in Qatar will be? Let's be real here. Which is more democratic. HK or Qatar?
It’s seems that both sides are content now Hongkong will need to repair a bestow order no violence is the key good luck Hongkong
Democracy for China and Qatar ????Can we do a program on these 2 countries
China is big enough ... What at all do they want again that they are Soo obsessed with HK ?
Whatever the results HK remains a province of China same as Shanghai, SWatou, Macau etc...
No it doesnt they are very different its like house cat and chinese street cat
The toad-man is just trying to save face for Beijing. He's smiling but you can see the anger underneath. Keep prodding him and he will explode with rage.
But they must abide by the treaty it’s a treaty not a convenient Conversation about what they might want to do they are compelled and they notice to not abide by a treaty that they gave their word to not do so brings shame upon them and the whole world sees this or what it is.!!!
no matter what happens, if someone does something that hurts national interests such as security and integrity of the country. the central government has the final say. hong kong independence will never happen. china is not the uk because scotland will be independent very soon.
Win?Are you kidding me?HongKong economy will going down, just like Ukraine or Syria. Or worse.
Only 1 country 1 peapolse 🇭🇰👍✊👁🇨🇳
Weak
Till the end of the of the day..hong kong is part of China. I live to see that happend.see you all in year 2047
Solid Snake Fox juice makes some Chinese go crazy, thinking they can live for next 27 years. Ha ha ha ha ha ha .A
Maybe free china next.
He sounds like Carrie lam, broken record.
Chui Chu, you sound like you are grunting with a mouthful of molasses.
Hongkong will be a poor city
Democracy is a good idea, but it's too soon to tell (Chou en Lai).
It's not the done deal so let us be open to other systems instead of demonising. Believe it's not one size fits all although rigidly binds itself to this delusion.
There is space for everyone only US especially does not think so. It's my way or the highway.
Hong kong is a few million of 1.4 billion. Hong kong just think they are better.
they have better education, healthcare, average income, and most importantly, rule of law.
OK pro democracy party win OK show what see how they run the future of hk, under Carrie lam government they did not done anything to improve the living of standard for the hk people, see what thus new government do. Action of change is important don't let hk people down
意味着香港一国二制的成功，香港还是中国领土。
The host disappointment look tell the story.good job Mr gao.
Hong Kong King Kong
Beijng Wins either way.
Double talk from communists, as expected.
