RE: Ji I wonder how this ends

Unless both sides decide to talk it out, it is NOT going to end well. Tian An Men redux is what I fear.

PR China is a leftist totalitarian dictatorship with a bloodthirsty attitude and a bloody history.

How do you think this will end?

The weekend thread was unconfirmed. Surely we have Hong Kong Freepers. We need confirmation from the ground.

This was pre-ordained the day China took over from GB. The thugs can’t abide freedom and we’re going to stamp it out. I predict that they will pay an economic price for this as business flees.

Some things never change. Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun in China and other despotic regimes such as Iran. The Chinese Communists have never been shy about shedding blood, using starvation as a political weapon, herding people into concentration camps, forcing abortions or shooting prisoners to sell their organs for hard currency to achieve their goals.

And the paper tiger, known as the U.N., will ignore this massacre, just as they did the Tienanmen Square stuff!

Time to send in Steve McQueen.

Let’s say Cal said it was leaving. Do you think DJT would send in troops to stop it?? Actually I do because while it would pain him to do so, once something like that happens to a country it would continue until there were few states under the same flag. IMO, this is why sanctuary cities and the like should never have been allowed to do what they have been doing. The first one should have been suppressed. Now we have 20 or more cities deciding on their own immigration policy.

Soon the PRC will take actions that will justify ALL US measures taken against China, thereby making Trump appear very far-sighted and wise.

That’s ridiculous.

If we would just open one way trade where they get rich the peasants will move to middle class and SOONER or LATER democracy HAS TO happen.

Well, that picture was taken in Shenzhen - not Hong Kong.

Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun EVERYWHERE.

That's why the States demanded a Bill of Rights be added to our Constitution back in 1789, an that's why the Second Amendment was included in that Bill of Rights.

Thanks, that’s what I was looking for in those videos.

Until the BBC reports troops in the streets of Hong Kong, everything else is bunk.

No problem!

The good citizens of Hong Kong can use their 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

Right now, they are busy covering the recent important “suicide” in NYC.

The Chinese army is just going in to ensure the safety of the children.

Something had to be done.

Why would any of those citizens of Hong Kong need a military weapon?

Governments don’t harm their own citizens.

The BBC has been actively reporting on Hong Kong.

For today; flights out of Hong Kong’s Airport are suspended and 180 flights canceled, also Cathay Pacific has announced it will fire anyone who takes part in the protests.
