There are scattered posts on Weibo, following the results of #HKDCElection and pan-dem’s landslide victory. Here are some comments:
- the public opinion is shown through their votes, not through certain tv stations.
- since it’s one country two systems, we have to accept..
the public opinion of Hong Kong people and let their society decide their own path. If it works, perhaps we should follow.
- the brain of those writing the script at state media must be splitting
- this happens when ppl can vote and is why HK can’t implement universal suffrage
- if pro-establishment wins, the silent majority spoke; if they lose, blame it on foreign interference
- a short but telling “hoho”
There are also comments urging Chinese authorities to send in the tanks instead and abolish 1C2S, and some who cannot understand the results.
In the cm section of a post on Starry Lee vs Long Hair, a number of users struggle to understand why Long Hair is allowed to run and obtained >1500 votes. Others asked why Lee, even as the chairman of the biggest pro-govt party, wins only by the slim margin of 300 votes.
Went back to Weibo one day later and most of these posts are already gone....
