It starts. What is next? If the people of Hong Kong protest enough, do you think they have a chance?

I don't think the UK is thrilled with the treatment of their former colonists. This is looking like 1938 Germany...  people fleeing due to being jailed for life for protesting. Think the British Navy may be showing up soon to evacuate those who want a get the fuck out due to a very large number of UK citizens living there.

OK, everyone, it's time to play nice with China and no criticism or supporting democracy in HK.  It's now the law.

So we all agree, right?

The CPC is a nightmare dystopia we can't let our two party system eventually enact on us?

And they are getting worse by the day.  Xi looks at the fall of America as their time to pounce and they are more arrogant than ever.  Not only do we need to avoid becoming anything like China we need to stop feeding them by allowing them access to the global economy.  They have zero interest in being a part of the global economic system as anything more than a tapeworm.

Oh up thread ffs. Oliver's a tool. Or below....

Claims that China has detained millions of Uyghur Muslims are based largely on two studies. A closer look at these papers reveals US government backing, absurdly shoddy methodologies, and a rapture-ready evangelical researcher named Adrian Zenz.

If the camps for the Uighurs are true, you are a fucking nazi, and you are worse than the likes of Trump and the GOP.
