Protesters must be removed for calm in HK, China says
Taipei Times ^ | May 7, 2020 | Reuters, Beijing

China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office yesterday said that the territory would never be calm unless “black-clad violent protesters” were all removed, describing them as a “political virus” that seeks independence from Beijing.

The strongly worded statement came amid mounting concerns among democracy advocates that China is tightening its grip over the former British colony, while a lockdown to prevent COVID-19 infections has largely kept their movement off the streets.

The office said that China’s central government would not sit idly by “with this recklessly demented force in place,” and that Beijing has the greatest responsibility in maintaining order and safeguarding national security.

“The scorched-earth action of the black-clad violent protesters is a political virus in Hong Kong society and a big enemy to ‘one country two systems,’” the office said in a statement.

“As long as the protesters are not removed, Hong Kong will never be calm,” it said.

The Red China Communist Party is a threat to the whole world. They need to go.

Remove protestors?Commie soft talk for executing political prisoners with a bullet to the back of the head while the helpless kneel?

I hope the CIA sends the Hong Kong protestors arms and ordnance., including shoulder launched SAMs and Antitank weapons.

During WWII we had magazines like the National Rifleman that ran ads collecting guns to send to the defenseless citizens of Great Britain. I have a pic somewhere. It’s an eye opener. People dont learn from history.
