While America faces some turmoil at home, the nation is still being represented as a symbol of freedom across the globe.
Protesters in Hong Kong are singing the U.S. national anthem and flying American flags as they protest oppression under Chinas Communist Party. Specifically, protesters are outraged about Chinas new extradition laws, which weaken Hong Kongs sovereignty and gives the communist party more power over the people.

Sorry, protestors. That’s not our circus and you’re not our monkeys. We will avenge you with sanctions after your government crushes you in Tienanmen II: Electric Hybrid Drive Tank Boogaloo, but we’re not going to send troops to protect you.
This is heart breaking.
Coming to the physical defense of HongKong seems completely untenable. I really think they need to find a way get whatever leverage they can possibly get with China without forcing escallation.
How about we swap those people who love America and freedom for the people who want to impose communism here?
Colon Kapernick and that lesbian soccer player not happy.
What liberty REALLY means. God bless these folks, they are in for a bloody and painful short term future.

Brilliant!!!
The island is going to end up under the complete rule of the chi-coms in time. So let’s organize a swap. Marxist americans go there for democracy loving capitals in return!
I don’t think they’re hoping for physical defence or weapons drops as they know they can’t win that way. There are other forms of international pressure that has helped in the past though.
not an island. I think of it as one though
These are likely PLA infiltrators trying to create a pretext.
Embarrassing. They are not Americans, never were, and likely never will be. What are they suggesting, we annex them? Do they think singing our anthem will obligate us to be involved in an internal Chinese matter? Or give them asylum when China rightfully exercises control over its sovereign territory? Don’t get me wrong, nice to see them having more respect for America than many of our athletes, but still...
“That’s racist!”
You’re an ignorant buffoon.
We should engage in social warfare.
Release all our inner city trash, and all of our prisoners there.
Bump
CNN in tears.
They are NOT ‘taking a knee’.
They are taking a stand.
We Americans of today may need to pay attention, and re-learn from those in Hong Kong just what it takes to secure one’s independence. All of us living today are reaping the benefits of other folk’s sacrifice. A few of us are active warriors now, or active duty, but very, very few of us.
CNN in tears. Tears of sorrow that is.
Good idea!
That is incredible!
It could have been organized by the ChiComs to give the impression that the US is organizing the protests.
