Joe probably already cut a deal to let Xi take Taiwan next.....

One of the last pro-democracy media organisations in Hong Kong, Stand News, is shutting down after it was raided by police and senior staff were arrested.

Seven people, both current and former employees, were detained by Hong Kong police for "conspiracy to publish seditious publications".

"Because of the situation, Stand News is ceasing operations immediately," the organisation said in a Facebook post.

More than 200 police officers were sent to raid the publication's office.
Hong Kong police said in a statement they were authorised to "search and seize relevant journalistic materials".

In a post on Facebook, Stand News said it would no longer be updating its website and would be removing its social media content "within a day".

Interesting that Marxists declare that they are "for the people" and get large numbers to actually believe it, and thus because they grift people into believing that it is good for all to be onboard, they attach friendly words to their government's names, like: "Democratic Peoples Republic" of Korea (North Korea) and "Peoples Republic" of China and Laos "People"s Democratic Republic." All sounding as if all people in the nation are onboard with the government. Generally, the governments were created through intimidation and force and once in power, the poor disarmed public were subsequently subjugated into the tyranny that is Marxism. No more dissenting voices allowed. Those crying out for freedom quickly disappear.
