China appears to be warning Hong Kong protestors that it will use the People’s Liberation Army to ruthlessly crush protests, using the sophisticated weapons at its command. As with the 1989 slaughter of democracy protestors in Tiananmen Square, China’s ruling class is not about to let its dictatorial powers (“the dictatorship of the proletariat,” praised by Marx and Engels) slip away. Nor will China tolerate any breakaway moves in any territory it considers its own. No amount of bloodshed is too much.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports:

The three-minute video posted on the Hong Kong garrison's official Weibo social media account late on Wednesday included footage of troops firing guns and rockets, and of light tanks, attack helicopters and missile launchers.

The PLA has remained in barracks since political protests began in April, leaving Hong Kong's police force to deal with the massive and often violent confrontations in the Asian financial hub.

In one sequence in the PLA video, titled "anti-riot drill footage", ranks of troops advance with shields and truncheons, firing rifles into the air.

Tear gas and water cannons rain down on their opponents, as armoured personnel carriers with battering rams raced forward, and troops lay barbed wire coils on the ground.

When the PLA comes in and the arrests and shooting starts:

REMEMBER that Silicon Valley enabled all of it.

Remember that Big Tech is FINE with repression, that they were all raised with the question, “What if it happened HERE? What would you do? Would you stand up, or would you cower..?”

Remember that they didn’t simply cower, but indeed jumped up and ASSISTED throwing Anne Frank on that train.

REMEMBER IT.

POTUS should start playing hardball with the Chicoms, they’ve already lied about helping out our farmers and haven’t stopped the flow of Fentanyl to the US.

I like how President MAGA Trump is staying out of this. Let the PRCs murder hundreds/thousands of Hong Kongers in front of the world. The Videos will be great advertisements for their products, don’t you think???
