Good statement.
Recognizes Chinese communists have abrogated the treaty, leaving it open Hong Kong to become a Singapore-like city-state.

I found the statement to be rather tepid at best.

Hong Kong should claim independence from China and the world ceases to do business with them.
Enough of their crap and lies

“I found the statement to be rather tepid at best.”
What do you expect from a joint statement from diplomats.
It’s in fact quite strong in context and something Obama, Bush or Clinton administrations would not do.

If I'm Taiwan, I start working on a nuclear program today. I'd hate to depend on the kindness of strangers. And if I lose everything, well, at least I take a few Chinese cities down with me.

"Chinas decision to impose a new national security law on Hong Kong lies in direct conflict with its
international obligations under the principles of the legally-binding, UN-registered Sino-British Joint Declaration."
This is saying in diplomatese that the agreement is null and void.

I bet they already have all the components and just have to put them together, just like Japan.

Obama would have sent the Chi-Coms pallets of cash.

Yeah. Right. How does the Malaysian army compare to the ChiComs?

Hong Kong is almost indefensible. It’s only freshwater source is from the mainland - “ New Territories” as it was once called. Hong Kong Island has no natural freshwater.

Are you under the impression that Singapore’s status is due to a military victory of Singapore over the Malaysian army?

ChiComs threatened to cut of water and resources if UK didn’t give them Hong Kong.
The agreement was based in extortion.

It’s surrounded by water. Desalination technology exists.
