[Leaning Right]

> Has UK even issued a statement on this ChiCom takeover of HK? <

Others probably know more about this than I do, but from what I’ve read the 1997 transfer of sovereignty went rather smoothly.

I don’t know how the UK feels about this current crisis. But part of me wants to say that it’s none of their business. Yes, the Chinese communists are monsters. And yes, the ChiComs agreed to a 50-year special relationship deal.

But Hong Kong is a Chinese city. It just is. The British only had power there for awhile because they bullied their way in.

That does NOT mean that the ChiComs should not be criticized. In fact, they should be criticized all day long - for their human rights abuses, for their imperial behavior, and for unleashing the Wuhan virus in the world.

All I’m saying is that the UK has no special right to criticize China over Hong Kong. I hope that makes some sense.

The UK doesn’t need a special right to criticize the ChiComs over what they’re doing to HK.

The UK just needs some b@lls.

You need to lean a little more and maybe it would make more sense. The people of Hong Kong legally were English Citizens, that England refused to let leave, or did you know that?
