Hong Kong 'seeking arrest' of fleeing activists

[Disir]

Police in Hong Kong are seeking the arrest of six pro-democracy activists living in exile in Western countries, including the UK, media reports say.

The group reportedly includes former UK consulate worker Simon Cheng, well-known activist Nathan Law and US citizen Samuel Chu.

They are wanted on suspicion of violating a new security law imposed in Hong Kong by Beijing, Chinese state TV reported, calling them "troublemakers".

Hong Kong police declined to comment.

The development comes after legislative elections scheduled for September were delayed for a year by Hong Kong's government on Friday.

It said the move was necessary because of a spike in Covid-19 infections, but the opposition accused it of using the pandemic as a pretext. The White House said the move undermined democracy.

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is scum.

But you probably understand that by now...why the Democrat Party and Big Tech are still on the side of Communist China is a total mystery to me and to many others as well!

None of our political parties are on China’s side. We have been unhappy over trade practices and intellectual property theft for a long time now.

Business and tech? Who knows. They do whatever earns them a profit.

To steal a quote from David Stockman “Indeed, the entire intellectual property theft meme is just a scam under which the business lobbies have enlisted the FBI and other law enforcement branches to function as taxpayer-financed patent attorneys and litigants.

It's pretty much true.
