Neither I nor the quote said that China has to reach the same state as Hong Kong. Nor did I or the quote say that Hong Kong's state was better than China's.
Now maybe it is Liu Xiaobo's belief that China should be like Hong Kong, but that is not necessarily implied by the quote.
Do you also believe that "brain in a jar" thought experiments imply that someone wants to cut your brain out and put it in a jar?
