The CCP's Crushing of Hong Kong - and Plans for Taiwan
Five years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party “fundamentally transformed” Hong Kong from a relatively free and economically thriving territory into just another enslaved city within the People’s Republic of China.
With Beijing’s imposition of a draconian national security law, the CCP finished off the last vestiges of the “one-country, two-systems” arrangement it promised Great Britain would apply for fifty years when she surrendered the colony in 1997.
Dissent has been crushed, with its champions like Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong cruelly imprisoned. The mainland’s totalitarian social credit system enforces the Party’s edicts. And Hong Kong’s capital market now serves as a financial Trojan Horse, a vehicle for Wall Street to fundraise for Chinese military companies like CATL.
An even worse fate awaits Taiwan if the Chinese Communists can next acquire it, one way or another. That must not happen.
This is Frank Gaffney.
Hong Kong is gone. It looks like nobody will fight for it and we see another example of China defaulting on a treaty provision. So, why negotiate treaties at all with China. They should be starved out. As long as they can spend money, they will promote evil intent and slave-state oppression for their people. Please pray for the citizens of China and that they organize to bring a republic to China owned by the people. If they get a republic, let's hope they can keep it better than the US is keeping ours.
