Hong Kong demonstrations
Anyone else following?
I guess Trump can wag his finger at Jinping over trade but can't offer any support to these demonstrators?

Obama was blasted for saying nothing during the Iranian demonstrations that took place while he was president...
Reading what Trump tweeted today about the Hong Kong demonstrations, I wish he had said nothing...

Nikki Haley offered much more heartfelt pro-Freedom comments than Drumpf.

You guys are hoping Trump can string together a well-timed cogent remark?

Re: Hong Kong demonstrations
Somebody needs to tell the Hong Kongers that the US flag is actually the symbol of oppression and hate

When has the US, since WWII, shown any inclination to back anyone of this type and actually help the situation?
Bush screwed up Iraq, (both of them did, different groups as well), Obama screwed up Libya, etc.

Re: Hong Kong demonstrations
It is unfortunate
People are going to die in Hong Kong before this mess is over.
But China won't be able to whitewash it the way they did Tienanmen Square... too many iPhones
I'll bet Hong Kongers don't think of big bad Britain when they talk about "colonialism" now
It is also inconvenient - every time China starts to look a bit like a sympathetic character to the "socialism works some places" crowd... China goes and shows us the actual nuts and bolts of how it works
These people just need to get with the program... it is for the greater good

Not sure how much, but he should at least tweet out that he is in favor of what they are doing.

Re: Hong Kong demonstrations
How many people actually thought, back in 1997, that the Red Chinks would actually back off for 50 years? I know I didn’t.

The US is a socialist nation, simply one which the current population has decided to invest its labor-value into corporations, rich people, and the military.

China is a communist dictatorship. Its labor passes through one entity which decides where to put it and the population has no choice.

We'd be talking about how this would never happen if a Republican were president
