Anything that gets movement against the ChiComs is good.
Liberals sure don’t care about persecutions of Christians there. Or Buddhists. Or anti-Communists.
No. They have to see Muslim persecution to act.
Ok. I’ll take it.
RE: No. They have to see Muslim persecution to act.
Well, Congress did pass the Hong Kong Human Rights Bill which was signed by Trump.
Last I saw, the vast majority of the Citizens of HK are NOT Muslims.
The timing of the new Hong Kong and Uighur Laws, leads me to further expect no big trade deal with China next week, and the next round of tariffs dropping on schedule (15 December).
That round (15% on $112 billion per year), is highly focused on the consumer electronics industry (laptops, cell phones, cameras, toys), and its highly integrated supply chain, which is concentrated in the Shenzhen area of South China (near Hong Kong, on the Mainland).
The stampede of that industry out of China would enter the phase of full scale deployment in 2020 - putting the decline of our “Rust Belt” to shame by its speed.
