Let is congratulate all of the great intelligence in the West who saw this coming...or not. Not to worry though, Trump is gone, phew, "America is going to be back!"

One jurisdiction down, a handful to go for China in their orbit. Notice the politicians who are silent about this? The globe is going to fleece America again as China does as it pleases knowing that the West is even weaker (thanks Paris Accord boondoggle) now more than ever.

A globe full of Chamberlains, and all of us are going to pay the price because of these cucks.


Hong Kong (CNN)The entirety of Hong Kong's elected pro-democracy opposition announced its resignation Wednesday in protest over the expulsion of four lawmakers. The dramatic move comes after Beijing passed a resolution giving local authorities broad new powers to quash dissent, likely signaling the end of political opposition in the city.

The resolution, passed by China's highest legislative body, allows Hong Kong's executive to expel elected lawmakers directly without having to go through the courts, cementing Beijing's control over the semi-autonomous territory.
Under the new ruling, lawmakers who are deemed to promote or support Hong Kong independence, or who refuse to acknowledge Beijing's sovereignty, will "immediately lose their qualifications," the resolution said.

It also applies to elected lawmakers who "seek foreign forces to intervene in the affairs of Hong Kong, or who have endangered national security" and who "fail to uphold the Basic Law" -- the city's mini constitution -- as well as those who are deemed "not loyal to the legal requirements and conditions" of the territory.
