"Revolution Of Our Times": Hundreds Arrested As Hong Kong Protests Escalate

Post by Doka » 05-27-2020 01:13 PM

The Fall of Hong Kong IS a very BIG DEAL! Taiwan, is more than likely next, if not the US. We have so many with pockets full of Chinese Money, selling us out every minute of every day. We are already told to "Speak No Evil" against China, as the Democrats exercise their Dictatorship over the American Sheep. This so difficult to watch, but, perhaps spoiled Americans, have to learn the true meaning of "Suffering" and "Loss", before they ever, come out of their propaganda induced Coma........and the odds of that are slim to none......... :evil:



"Revolution Of Our Times": Hundreds Arrested As Hong Kong Protests Escalate

Over 300 people were arrested in Hong Kong on Wednesday during demonstrations over national security legislation which would put the semi-autonomous city further under Beijing's boot. Protesters planned to gather at the city's Legislative Council during a debate on a related law which would criminalize insulting China's national anthem - though security forces stopped them before they could get that far.

Riot police fired pepper pellets to disperse crowds in the heart of the financial district and elsewhere, while groups of suspected protesters were gathered up and made to sit on sidewalks as their belongings were searched, according to Reuters.

"Hong Kong independence, the only way out!" chanted protesters, along with "Liberate Hong Kong! Revolution of our times" - which is exactly what CCP officials warned about while justifying the new laws which include provisions against secession, subversion and foreign interference.

One protester had a sign reading "one country, two systems is a lie."

A heavy police presence around the Legislative Council deterred protesters planning to disrupt the debate of a bill that would criminalise disrespect of the Chinese national anthem. The bill is expected to become law next month.

In Landmark Decision, Pompeo Tells Congress Hong Kong No Longer Independent From China

In what appears to be a preview of the at-this-point inevitable White House decision to strip Hong Kong of its preferred trading status over the new National Security law imposed by Beijing, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted on Wednesday that he has "reported to Congress that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China."

Congress now has the power to strip Hong Kong of its "special status" under the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992, which has allowed for the city-state to be treated more favorably than the rest of China by the US.

The status is part of what's allowed Hong Kong to develop as a 'gateway to the West', a key part of its appeal as an international city. Without the US 'special status', HK might lose its international cachet as well, and eventually become just another Chinese city.

Indeed, without such easy access to the global economy, Hong Kong will become just an extension of Shenzen, which lies just across the border on the mainland.

About that Liberty and Freedom thing...........It is the People who make the fight for it. Are they up to it? Time will tell. The People of the US, mainly Democrat, have no idea ,any longer ,what it is to shed their own blood for their own freedom, every thing resembles a natural response has been "washed" out of them, reducing themselves, to waiting for "Wetnurse" Pelosi and Schiff and the "likes", on who to attack next, and that's All they need to know.

Taiwan's recently reelected President Tsai Ing-Wen has asked her government to draw up a "humanitarian assistance" plan for Hong Kongers as the US moves to strip the island of its "special status" after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo determined that the territory is no longer functionally independent from Beijing.

Tsai previewed the decision in a tweet sent earlier.
