My topic is based on Hong Kong democracy movement. It is still hard for me to decide my argument. I do find two different voices towards this democratic movement. One is back Hong Kong, pointing out mainland China’s authoritarian regime. Another is from Chinese official tone against Hong Kong movement, denying that it is democratic. But I do not want to stand on either side. Instead, I am considering whether I can analyze or argue that it is different ideologies or cultural background that create different social consciousnesses and thus different forms of government. Because such words like ” authoritarian regime” or”autocratic policy” seldom happens in Chinese media, these were basically from Western media’s judgement of China. But China and Western countries do have essential difference, China is Socialism while most of western countries are capitalism. There exists difference. Also, my thought of China also is influenced by where I grew up. So I am still considering and thinking.
