Why is this our fight ?
With any other president I would say yes.President Trump would not do that.Tariffs baby,tariffs.Seems to me that china has not stomped on the protests in HK for fear of that very thing.We got them by the balls and they know it.We will see what happens.
[Are we willing to impose sanctions on Beijing, such as we have on Venezuela, Iran and Vladimir Putin’s Russia? ]
Yes
Yes, back when “Made in Japan” was what we got upset about.
This is our fight because the heart and soul of freedom is at stake. Our own country is under assault by the very same kinds of forces that the children of Hong Kong are struggling to destroy.
The Democrat party is not different in any unique respect from the Chinese Communist Party. Given the kind of absolute power the CCP enjoys our own tyrants in the DNC would act no differently.
We stand in solidarity with the children of Hong Kong and war against the same enemy.
Just wait until we start to see a similar movement to ‘Divest From South Africa’ hit social media. There is a Kyle Bass interview recently talking about how the Chinese financed construction of the Uyghur camps with bond offerings in the U.S. and the World Bank, done by Xinjiang Province, where the camps are located.
Bottom line: It is impressive that freedom loving people in Hong Kong are inspired by America, but it should be made clear to them America is not willing to sacrifice blood or even material treasure to secure their well being. Hong Kong will be subdued and there will be a deal on tariffs. The communist party will remain in control in China for the foreseeable future. Sorry but that is political reality. The majority of the Chinese people are not willing to revolt or force change. The Chinese should not look to the West for their salvation. Even the Pope signed a vile deal with the communists selling out his own Catholics who had sacrificed mightily for their faith.
Who said it was? If we had passed a resolution condemning Hitler in 1933 would you have said the same thing?
Uyghur Concentration Camps ARE concentration camps. Hong Kong was the canary in the coal mine for what is to come.
the best we can/should do is offer them citizenship ..
and not the dual kind..
Send your sons...
[Send your sons...]
Imposing tariffs is just the first step.
Maybe America should be more concerned about Cuba. I read that Cuba is meddling in politics just south of our border...
Each party is doing what it can on the way to the inevitable blood bath.
[Imposing tariffs is just the first step.]
War will happen only when Chinese troops initiate hostilities across an international border. And even that is likely to be a limited clash, unless they do something on the scale of Pearl Harbor that kills thousands of Americans, or worse.
Taiwan is probably watching what is happening, because they would potentially be next.
Hey, Pat, (AKA Mr. I told you so), didn’t the Chinese sign an agreement with the British regarding the transfer of Hong Kong to them? Something like they were to maintain Hong Kong’s independence etc. Something like that?
I guess what I’m getting at is, don’t you think the rest of the free world has a dog in this fight too?
The protesters should know their boundaries. THe USA is NOT asking or expecting the rebels to protest to the point of wanting Hong Kong independence.
In short, this is not Hungary....
South Africa’s impact on our economy was a “Fart in a windstorm” compared to China’s impact.
Ike sent “advisors” into a similar situation in SE Asia.
