Hong Kong police arrest 5 trade union members for sedition

Think Neapolitan wrote, One should never fear a competent enemy but an incompetent ally. The UK really let down the people of Hong Kong.

In Chinese it's called "communism"

Actually in English, the word is "communism", but China is not Communist.

In Chinese it's called "communism", but it's plain and simple fascism by any other name and in any other language. Absolute power still corrupts absolutely - an iron principle that rules in human affairs without exception

Just like the puppet resident and the handlers.

Authoritarian govts are afraid of ideas. Wonder what Pooh Bear thinks of that?

The association published three children’s books

To the CCP members, what is the legal way for people in Hong Kong to get their govt back to the way it was before the authoritarian laws were forced? After all, China claims that some representation is possible.

Not usually a fan of imperialism, but the brits returning Hong Kong was probably a mistake

@tokyojoe

Yeh, thats basically what I was expressing

unfortunately certain people here don’t believe anything unless it has a link.

I bet they are regretting the British handing them back. Let this be a lesson to all the colonial guilt obsessed moaners, be careful what you wish for.

Need to take down the ccp.

Xi is quite sincere in his efforts to make himself absolute dictator of China.

If you are in HK and have the resources to get out, do so NOW. The mainland has absolutely no intention of keeping their agreement. It's Hong Kong today and as soon as they think they can pull it off, Taiwan next.

FYI, I lived in HK for many years, & most of the locals I often talked to, wanted the British out

Ah, the famous "trust me, i can't prove it but i know better than you" of internet when i try to find an excuse to my epic fail.

Yeah right China - this overly-broad national security law would not pass in any other country with a vigilant democratic populace

FYI, I lived in HK for many years, & most of the locals I often talked to, wanted the British out.

So stick that in your history class.

Boycott HK and anything to do with the CCP and the mainland. The real Chinese government sits on the beautiful island of Formosa known as Taiwan.

If you really want to support, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other areas suppressed by the CCP hoodlums, buy Taiwan Milk Pineapples. Best fruit ever.

Be careful what you wish for.

The Hong Kong people wanted the British out & here we are

Really?

You make it sound like they had a choice in it.

The Hong Kong people wanted the British out & here we are

Did you miss history class ?

Be careful what you wish for.

The Hong Kong people wanted the British out & here we are

And one more reason to BOYCOTT China Olympics!!!! FREE Hong Kong!!!! Down with China!!!!

Do not go to Hong Kong. Do not transit in Hong Kong. Sad, but the only choice is to alleviate their citizens in their flite to safety. America and Canada will benefit greatly from their highly-educated populace; the PRC will be left with an empty shell.

The association published three children’s books that authorities apparently suspect are metaphors for the political crisis. The books feature stories that revolve around a village of sheep that has to deal with wolves from a different village. The sheep take action like going on strike or escaping by boat, according to the synopses published on the association’s website.

Ah yes, guilty of wrongspeak. Looks like the CCP authorities take their clues from Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Google et al in their determination to control freedom of thought and speech.

And the sick and dangerous puppet regime known as Hong Kong keeps being turned into a terror State.

Boycott Hong Kong until their Commie puppet regime is torn down.

Perhaps visiting a most exigent ‘port of call’ in support of ‘liberty & freedom’ in the region would be more prudent?

“British carrier strike group to make port calls in Japan in September” - July 21

While the World focuses on Tokyo’s ‘Games’, ‘The Neighbors’ are playing their own in 40℃ heat & humidity.

Might as well as let Twitter, YouTube, Google and Facebook in too

China getting bolder and bolder. Poor HK.

Looks like the guy with the black hood over head is going to be executed.

There's no freedom at all in Hong Kong as promised by China before the '97 handover.

Don't give them the pleasure of attending their egotistical, money making Olympics.
