And these words weren't in an out of the way place or small but in a very public and busy place with constant foot traffic
They are saying, in essence, that if other countries get their freedom and human rights, it puts pressure on China to give Hong Kong the same. At least that's how I read it.
Which then suggests this is not really applicable. It is statement about the people, not the nation, winning when freedom and human rights are upheld.
For reference, here is the opening post.
Apologies to you
I came fourth out of ten, just out of the money. However, I had already picked the three who did win as the top three so no surprise or disappointment. It was a good, but sadly rather small, field for this one. I highly recommend all the entries, but a personal fave is "Queen of the Turbines" by the excellent KatarinaTechGoddess, which takes place just West of me along highway 402 (she lives in Florida but has family in Michigan and came up to Ontario on her last visit).New comp on Stories Space (as discussed in Ape's Writing Thread) with the theme "Myths & Monsters" and my entry is now done and in. Back when my family used to spend summers in Haliburton County, some fun was had with the idea of a "xx Lake Monster" due to my fondness for reading about what are now called "cryptids" (Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Ogopogo). So I kind of ran with that idea, tossing a bit of kaiju movie inspiration in as well, to create some summer cottage mayhem that I call, "The Summer Beast".

Myths And Monsters | Stories Space
The word Myth comes from the Greek word 'mythos' which means 'to tell a story'. They are very old stories that were passed down and every culture has its own. Of course, you cannot have a good myth without some form of monster.

That's my favorite of the bunch. Verbal's a retired academic who is now writing pretty much fulltime. Smart guy and a heck of a writer. Like me, a kaiju fan from a ways back and often uses Godzilla, Gamera, and Ghidorah as avatars. He claims he can't do horror as well as me but he did it pretty dang good there.
