Caution Needed Before The U.S. Gets Involved In Hong Kong

R:E The Trump CIA is presently as involved in Hong Kong as it will ever be.

Can you explain to us HOW the CIA is involved in HK?

What kind of resources are they mustering?

[Vermont Lt]

We have no business in HK. That is for the Brits to deal with.

Russia can give them all asylum in Siberia. Freedom loving Chinese without the Chicoms.

The only part that was a colony was HK island and a tiny part of the mainland.

Any fight at the UN would be for an island only.

[DoodleDawg]

Hong Kong cannot be ignored.

Just watch us.

I’d be willing to fast track Hong Kongers for political asylum.

Why? It's the UK's problem, they're the UK's refugees.

[Wuli]

The U.S. cannot and will not “rescue” Hong Kong.

The ONLY thing it can do if it wants is to rescue citizens of Hong Kong, as political refugees.

I know that is not what the people or the protestors in Hong Kong want. They want to remain in Hong Kong. They just want the heavy hand of Beijing off of them.

No, do not expect Trump to add this to the negotiating table with China over trade and tariffs. China is NOT giving up its position that it is an internal matter for China, for any reason. Attempting that could scuttle many kinds of negotiations with China for some time, and even make things worse for Hong Kong, helping the regime in Beijing to portray the issues in Hong Kong as issues about foreign meddling.

Some believe the U.S. and the West should show a little more spine in the dispute between the Hong Kong government, China, and the protesters.

You can rest assured that this "some" have NEVER WORN ANY MILITARY UNIFORM INTO COMBAT.

I feel for the 7 million hong kongers, but they are not worth a single American Military person.

We can wag our finger at the real chinks, but no war over hong kong.

Well, guess what?

The CIA acts covertly to keep ememies and blabbermouths from knowing what they are up to

There is a local group called Hong Kong Autonomy Action who has helped organize most of the American flag waving for several months. Some of their members are featured in that viral video of them singing the American anthem. I’ve heard that this group is related to a local right-leaning party called Civic Passion.

They are responsible for the slogan “President Trump, please liberate Hong Kong”. I don’t like the word “liberate” but I appreciate their efforts on trying to get the international attention by waving the flag. Some left-leaning protesters don’t like the slogan because of its emphasis on pleading for Trump’s help. They are concerned that just the mention of “Trump” would offend the democrats. So these people are now busy on Twitter and Reddit to keep their distance from Trump and apologize to the liberals for the slogan!

The majority of the protesters were not supportive of this act until it got positive coverage from the American media. Just one month ago, when the protesters spotted the American flag, they took it away.

Now that they know waving the flags will get coverage, I’m sure that those who took the flag away just a month ago have now made a 180 and embraced the flag, waving it as hard as they can in front of the camera. While I’m sure they are very anti-CCP, these protesters see the flag more as an attention-seeking prop than the values and meanings behind it.

The UN....is the proper path...not the USA.

The UN isn't the proper path for anything.

[frank ballenger]

Good speculation.

What the ChiComs would win by implicating Trump: Sympathy and strong patriotic support of hundreds of millions of Chinese to unite against USA.

What the ChiComs would lose: Nothing.

Dozens of balkanized , suspicious ethnic groups in the old Soviet Union defiantly and strongly united against the Germans when attacked in WWII, like they never had in their lives.

This Hong Kong stuff could get Chinese united against the USA. I’m sure all the phony plastic flags said “made in China” but so do ours. Or even “A Soros Company.”

[Lopeover]

No nation building.

Hong Kongers should seek redress at UN regarding Britain - China handover agreement.

RE: photo of two Hong Kong females.

Finally some support for asylum seeking immigrants here. You can be an ambassador for improved relations. So patriotic.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I pick 1) - but the Beijing line is 3) Trump and the CIA are fomenting a "color revolution" in Hong Kong.

Way too many Chinese-Americans are believing that.

[Mr. Jeeves]

In my experience though often tiny and cute, HK girls are almost as materialistic as Americans. Choose wisely. :)

[Midwesterner53]

People around the world who have no freedom always turn to America for help. Too bad it must infuriate our own Democrats and their fascist supporters who hate America almost as much as they hate Trump.

“only part that was a colony was HK island and a tiny part of the mainland.”

I’d say you’re an ignorant buffoon but you are a known ChiCom propagandist.

This lame attempt doesn’t even make sense.

[VanDeKoik]

My God, I'm am so tired of this stupid jack@ss replying to me with this. Here, I will be nice to you one more damn time on this subject. Here is a map of HK:



You see the light purple? That is part of the "99 year lease". That is the part that went back to China in the late 90s after the lease was up. The two darker purple areas are the parts that the UK did not have to return to China as it was ceded to them. Just as I said. HK island and a tiny piece of the mainland.

This is history you can look up yourself. But you choose to keep replying to me on this with your retarded "ChiCom propagandist" BS, because you are either a troll or flat-out retarded.

If you continue to do so, I'm going to start reporting you to the mods, and they can deal with you.
