What's the point of an Election in HK... it's vote for the CCP Stoogies, or vote for the CCP Stoogies... Choice ?

The United States quickly condemned the move, saying it was the latest example of Beijing undermining democracy in the Chinese-ruled territory.

U.S. President Donald Trump twittered he is contemplating a delay of the November U.S. presidential election. How would the U.S. establish consistency between Trump's suggestion of the delay of the presidential election and its criticism of Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam's announcement of the delay of legislative election?

No surprise from the truly despicable Hong Kong "government" and Communist puppet, evil Carrie Lam. As Human Rights Watch states, this is purely being done to contain the political emergency. It has zero to do with any health concern. The freedom-loving people of HK are rightly outraged, and I hope will rise up against this decision against HK police and civil servants.

Boycott Hong Kong, boycott Communist China!

So this is where Trump got his idea. From the Chinese Communist government.

Xi and Trump showing once again their common approach to authoritarianism: don't let the general population vote.

At least Putin allowed his people to vote whether he should remain supreme leader through 2036.
