My point is that I am a nationalist, my concern is America first. China’s internal policies are not our concern. I am perfectly fine, and have long advocated that we should never be doing business with China. All it does is fund their communist government. Am I willing to put American soldiers lives at risk to stop the Chinese from doing whatever they want within their borders? No. We are not the policeman of the world.
I agree that the agreement had been voided by China. China had agreed to leave Hong Kong essentially alone for 50 years (until 2047)...and now their puppet Hong Kong government was about to send ‘hooligans’ (a little Communist lingo there) to China for ‘treatment’. So the people of Hong Kong are rightfully pissed.
But now what...do we, or any other country, try to battle China over Hong Kong, should they go in and declare martial law? My point being that the agreement is only as good as the countries on either side are capable of enforcing it.
I guess we can try a real trade war or reneging on our debt, and see what happens, but that’s about it.
Yes, it’s a difficult one.
I think main thing is to make sure that no blood shed occurs.
When they say they are monitoring the situation I think that includes working to make sure no massacre happens.
Hong Kong isn’t really solely a China internal issue.
