As China moves to impose new control over Hong Kong, international reaction remains muted

[shockedcanadian]

As I've said, weakest Western leadership in our history. Probably worse than the 1930s at this point. Europe, as often is the case, is weak and impotent. While the backers of global socialism pretend that America is the problem.

Don't forget which cowards turned their backs on Poland and Czechslovakia, only to then face the horrors directly themselves due to their own mismanagement and absurd position of weakness. Millions more lost than needed to be. Now we see Europe once again, turning their backs on freedom. I guarantee if they continue this position they will once again be facing the threat in a worse way in the future.

The dye has been cast. I hope you all vote accordingly in 2020.

BERLIN — Plans by China’s ruling Communist Party to impose a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong, which experts said would be Beijing’s most direct move yet to exert direct control over the territory, were met with fierce criticism in the United States and several other countries Friday but with a muted reaction in Europe.

The draft bill — once approved at the annual National People’s Congress, which is underway — will give the Chinese security state far more of a legal basis to operate in Hong Kong.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the Chinese plan “disastrous” and a “death knell” for the territory’s relative autonomy. Pro-democracy activists hoping for similar reactions in Europe were disappointed.

In Britain, Downing Street said in a statement it was “monitoring the situation closely” and that it expected “China to respect Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms and high degree of autonomy.” On Friday afternoon, Australia, Britain and Canada released a similar joint statement.

“As a party to the joint declaration, the UK is committed to upholding Hong Kong’s autonomy and respecting the one country, two systems model,” the U.K. statement continued, according to Reuters.
What is happening in Hong Kong?

Britain handed Hong Kong over to China in 1997, with the understanding that the former colony would continue to operate mostly under its own rule for 50 years.

“The British statement is pretty standard. But this is not a standard erosion of Hong Kong’s status,” said Steve Tsang, the director of the China Institute at SOAS University of London. “This is a much, much bigger deal.”

Actually, I thought the same about Thatcher at the time, but years later I think it was a prudent decision. They gave it to China two years later in exchange for 50 years of democratic rule, or so they thought.

All of this happened entirely because of Chinas entry into the WTO. For all the support I gave Clinton, allowing China into the WTO will be his legacy and defines him. Now the worlds leadership and big business is on the Communists payroll and the target has always been to replace America. The negative impact that this will mean for our liberties cannot be overstated.

To be honest I think that the International community can't do anything. Hong Kong is not an independent country, it's just a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China!
I have met a girl from Hong Kong a few years ago and she told me that some Hongkongers are angry against the British and would have loved to be an independent city-state, something like Singapore!

They agreed to all this back in 1898. It wasn't "giving" Hong Kong to China when they simply completed the terms of the agreement. If it was a bad deal, they should have thought of that way back when.

Unfortunately, it was Nixon who opened trade with China and then gave the go ahead to remove Taiwan from the UN Security Council and replacing it with the People's Republic of China. Thus giving both Russia and China the ability to veto anything we want to pass within the UN.
The UK had no choice in the matter. The signed a treaty and lease one hundred prior giving them access and rights to Hong Kong. Time was up and the agreement was kept....

BERLIN — Plans by China’s ruling Communist Party to impose a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong, which experts said would be Beijing’s most direct move yet to exert direct control over the territory, were met with fierce criticism in the United States and several other countries Friday but with a muted reaction in Europe.
The draft bill — once approved at the annual National People’s Congress, which is underway — will give the Chinese security state far more of a legal basis to operate in Hong Kong.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the Chinese plan “disastrous” and a “death knell” for the territory’s relative autonomy.
Pro-democracy activists hoping for similar reactions in Europe were disappointed.

In Britain, Downing Street said in a statement it was “monitoring the situation closely” and that it expected “China to respect Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms and high degree of autonomy.” On Friday afternoon, Australia, Britain and Canada released a similar joint statement.

“As a party to the joint declaration, the UK is committed to upholding Hong Kong’s autonomy and respecting the one country, two systems model,” the U.K. statement continued, according to Reuters.
What is happening in Hong Kong?
Britain handed Hong Kong over to China in 1997, with the understanding that the former colony would continue to operate mostly under its own rule for 50 years.
“The British statement is pretty standard. But this is not a standard erosion of Hong Kong’s status,” said Steve Tsang, the director of the China Institute at SOAS University of London. “This is a much, much bigger deal.”

it was Thatchers lowest moment as prime minister

but America had already set the precident for pandering by expelling Taiwan from the Security Council and replacing it with communist china

Actually, I thought the same about Thatcher at the time, but years later I think it was a prudent decision. They gave it to China two years later in exchange for 50 years of democratic rule, or so they thought.

All of this happened entirely because of Chinas entry into the WTO. For all the support I gave Clinton, allowing China into the WTO will be his legacy and defines him. Now the worlds leadership and big business is on the Communists payroll and the target has always been to replace America. The negative impact that this will mean for our liberties cannot be overstated.

~~~~~~
Unfortunately, it was Nixon who opened trade with China and then gave the go ahead to remove Taiwan from the UN Security Council and replacing it with the People's Republic of China. Thus giving both Russia and China the ability to veto anything we want to pass within the UN.
The UK had no choice in the matter. The signed a treaty and lease one hundred prior giving them access and rights to Hong Kong. Time was up and the agreement was kept....

You are ensnared in legal mumbo jumbo

afyer 100 years if the people of Hong Kong want to be free and independent that is their human right

 

[Doc7505]

As I've said, weakest Western leadership in our history. Probably worse than the 1930s at this point. Europe, as often is the case, is weak and impotent. While the backers of global socialism pretend that America is the problem.

Don't forget which cowards turned their backs on Poland and Czechslovakia, only to then face the horrors directly themselves due to their own mismanagement and absurd position of weakness. Millions more list than needed to be. Now we see Europe once again, turning their backs on freedom. I guarantee if they continue this position they will once again be facing the threat in a worse way in the future.

I wasn't referring to the independence of the citizens of Hong Kong, I was referring to the "Convention between the United Kingdom and China, Respecting an Extension of Hong Kong Territory, commonly known as the Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory or the Second Convention of Peking, was a lease signed between Qing China and the United Kingdom on 9 June 1898".

A "die" is cast, the singular form of "dice". "Dye" changes the color.
