I doubt that anyone is surprised that the commies want Hong Kong as is. They will turn it into a hell-hole just like their own.

“it’s done...it was predictable....”

The Red Chinese seemed so nice.

I never saw it coming.

Well, now the Chicoms will have more “OTHER PEOPLE” so they will have more OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY to keep the wolf from the doors of their over leveraged businesses and governments. I really feel sorry for the Hong Kong citizens; many of them will end up losing everything. They deserve better.

Can anyone explain why Hong Kong was given to the Chinese in the first place?

With the ever increasing number of issues for which China needs to be “Sanctioned”, just how much “Sanction” is even possible?

Our domestic manufacture is still more a suggestion than fact, they own huge amounts of our debt, they infiltrate our country with impunity.

So really, just how much more than hot-air and outrage can we really do to them?

And China is using the authoritarian’s favorite gimmick, claiming opposition ... isn’t home-grown but based on collusion with “external forces.”

Authoritarians use that gimmick because it works.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.

China promised to respect it’s independence for the next 50 years.

The promise was registered at the United Nations. They didn't just break their word to the British and Hong Kong people. They broke their word to the world.

Any word yet from the United Nations?

The 99-year lease between the UK and China came due 1997.

I have always thought that the British should have turned Hong Kong over to Taiwan and then Taiwan should have granted them their independence.

We all knew it was coming. Tyranny cannot stand any resistance.

HK stock market fading fast, China’s elite will be losing billions- but it’s better than losing power.

Any deal/contract with China is not worth the paper the deal is written on.

Slap on even more tariffs and get supply chains and companies out of China.
No more visas for the 360,000 Chinese students coming to USA to study.
Close all Confucius Centers.
Delist Chinese companies on the NY stock exchange.

This is just the beginning of a long war against an evil empire.

Soooo...in payment for their dirty actions, China forgives our debt...or...we just don’t pay? I know it’s more complicated but I can dream.
