I thought the same as you immediately. I think it’s an issue that China and Hong Kong must work out without our official meddling. Trump can still meet with the Chinese concerning human rights abuses.
Or... perhaps sticking it to China will actually assist in the trade negotiations.
Odd, that the Dems and Neocons are so gung ho on sanctioning Russia but hardly let out a peep on China’s far, far worse human rights record.
this is a first step: The Chinese insist on “extradition” of anyone they want to extradite for a “Crime”. Never mind the British law of Hong Kong that gives people rights to fight charges. This would enable them to arrest anyone talking against China.
Their long term plan, which they have actually stated, is to take over nearby lands they claim to have owned in the past: not only Taiwan and VietNam, which were once a Chinese colony, but even Luzon in the Philippines, which never was part of China.
Since Korea was a long time “Client state” of China, they have to worry too, but the big worry is their long term plan to take over Siberia: first mass immigration of Chinese to eastern Siberia, and then pressure to make that area part of China, maybe via “voting” of these immigrants, or maybe just by economic pressure since they are taking over the economy there.
and I won't even go into the reeducation camps of the Muslim minorities in China (which the NYTimes reported a few days ago in detail). Yes, China sees them as a threat, since the Muslims, both the Uighur and the Han Muslims, revolted in the 19th century causing wars, but since China is also repressing the Buddhist sect of the Falun Gong and the Christian underground churches, one can see where this is going.
You seem to be a troll pushing Chinese talking points, but some of us live in Asia so know you are telling lies.
