This isn't a "personal freedom" thing for me.

I'm talking as someone who was denied medical treatment for 7 years because the first specialist I saw assumed, based on my age, that I was trying to scam them for a prescription.

Those years were basically lost, and that wouldn't have happened if there wasn't so many people seeking phony diagnoses.

People abusing ADHD medication like that is the reason that the medication is so tightly controlled and hard to get as someone who actually has ADHD though.

It stops being "Their body, their choice." when tangible harm is being caused to people who actually need the medication to treat a neurodevelopmental disorder.

what is the relevance of the UK legal system here? The discussion is about China

Secondly, it could easily be argued that a legal extradition route would be a lot easier than secretly kidnapping and disappearing people over the border. Why do you think it would be easier to kidnap?

I think you may be slightly misinformed there, the extradition bill has not been fully rescinded, only suspended.

The protests continue with the demands of

1. Withdraw the bill

2. Carrie Lam steps down

3. An independent inquiry into police brutality

4. Release of protesters arrested

5. Universal Suffrage

There's plenty of reasons for them to protest without blaming foreign influence
