Look what happened when somebody in the NBA mentioned.
Answer is easy - Democrats.
Why we keep them around, I have no idea.
Because Hong Kong was a lease arrangement between Britain and China, and was never a sovereign country. The lease was always going to run out.
Ukraine on the other hand has been a sovereign country for over 30 years. And naked aggression against it is against it is an attack on the sovereignty of all nations.
Because the new territories were legally correctly handed back to china in 1997 and hong Kong island could not survive without them.
Because Ukraine has been an international slush fund for corrupt politicians and world leaders.
perhaps the US Congress does not do as much money
laundering, and trafficking in TUNNELs there.....
Ukraine fought. Hong Kong didn’t. Kind of tough to do something about a country being subjugated when that country submits.
Why you lousy racist, don't you know? Only white devils can be racists. In fact the problem with Hong Kong is that white people interfered with the beauty that was medieval China and screwed up their whole process of enslaving other Chinese. Damn them all to hell forever!
yes, I was thinking something similar, that Hong Kong was leased territory, and historically had been part of China, and didn’t have a history of being an independent country.
The Brits returned Hong Kong back to China. Putin was going to take Ukraine no matter what.
**Ukraine fought. Hong Kong didn’t. Kind of tough to do something about a country being subjugated when that country submits.**
Imagine China invading 450 sq miles vrs Russia invading 230,000 sq miles. Imagine the West sending arms to Hong Kong months before an invasion, like they did to Ukraine.
Because Hong Kong is a fait accompli, and Ukraine is not.
Because Ukraine is more leftist friendly.
“yes, I was thinking something similar, that Hong Kong was leased territory, and historically had been part of China, and didn’t have a history of being an independent country”
And, before the PRC put its foot down the Hong Kong leaders tried to play the ‘Let’s make everybody happy!” They didn’t stand up for law and order, they didn’t take clear economic positions. They actually INVITED PRC interference. They ignored issues except to occasionally throw money at them.
Hong Kong could have been, should have been a beacon of freedom to China. Instead a bunch UK “Comfort Women” like Anson (Fangs On) Chau, and Regina (Broom Head) Yip, “Yes Men” boobs like Donald Tsang, and entitled, incompetent elitists like Carrie Lam and the building code violating idiot that she replaced went along to get along.
Hong Kong had its chance It blew it.
The UK had the chance to make Hong Kong independent in the 1960s. They blew it.
China could have abided by the Basic Law, it didn’t.
There is blame to go around
prolly cause they’re not getting shelled everyday...
The Bidens don’t have illegal business ventures in Hong Kong to protect.
Bidens’, Pelosi’s, Kerry’s and who knows who else.
Because the Chinese makes all of the worlds cheap crap and “leaders” and people don’t want it to end.
There is a lot of pro-Ukraine sentiment in Hong Kong. They understand what is happening in those Russian occupied areas of the Ukraine. Today, in Hong Kong, saying the phrase, “Restore Hong Kong” can get one arrested and sent to the camps. The Russians replace the Ukrainian teachers and administrators with their own people. It is the same in Hong Kong.
