China is breaking Hong Kong treaty with UK, says Boris Johnson
Guardian ^ | Jul 1, 2020 | Patrick Wintour

Posted on 07/01/2020 12:22:58 PM PDT by ifinnegan

Boris Johnson denounced China’s imposition of a security law on Hong Kong as a “clear and serious” violation of its treaty with Britain, vowing to introduce a bespoke five-year visa for as many as 2.9 million Hong Kong citizens with British national (overseas) status.

---

He said “China has broken its promise to the people of Hong Kong under its own laws. 
China has breached its international obligations to the United Kingdom under the joint declaration.

This is good that the UK is stating this so clearly as it is true.

It means that China's right to administer Hong Kong is now invalid and Hong Kong is no longer part of the People's Republic of China and that government is an illegal occupier.

The U.S. and UK and as many countries as possible need to bring this up at the UN to have Hong Kong declared independent due to the PRC violating the international treaty they registered in the UN 36 years ago.

If there is any purpose to the UN, this is what it is for.

China is a permanent SC member. It would be a waste of time.

They of course would.

I also don’t think we or the UK have the guts to do it.

But it should be done as a matter of procedure in the process of overthrowing the ChiComs.

No because it would bring it out in the open and allow the truth to be laid bare.

It would be another example of the UN’s corruption and uselessness and one more reason to quit the UN and kick them out of the U.S.

Video’s show Chinese commies don’t put up with protestors... commies never do. Commies ferment riots and protest in free countries and the second the switch takes place they come down on protestors with an iron fist..

Well, that’s a given. A communistic organization sides with a communist state.

Back?

No. Kick out commies from China.

People said Reagan was crazy and there’d never be anything else but the Soviet Union.

“Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN.”

— Communist goal #7
The USSR was a permanent member too.

The UN was designed from the outset to empower world communism; Alger Hiss saw to that. All US funding needs to stop.

The UK would last 5 minutes in a war with China. The U.S. would hold out for a day or two.

They’re communists. Lying about obeying international laws is what they do.

It is a perfect allegory for the BLM/ANTIFA Thugs and their terrorism. See what happens when you capitulate?

Opposing tyranny is never a waste of time. Do bring it up even if vetoed or not. England should take in all fleeing Hong Kong people—same with USA. These are good hard working people who know the truth about Communists and Socialists.
