    Default US double standards on domestic riots and Hong Kong turmoil mocked on Chinese intern

    https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1190110.shtml

    ""Beautiful landscape" and "America Spring" became hot words used online in China to mock the double standards and hypocrisy of the Trump administration and some US Congress members, as well as US media outlets, for being critical and tough toward their domestic massive nationwide demonstrations but encouraging violent activities in Hong Kong."

    I think America has put itself in an untenable position.
    First, it chastises China for ANY crack down on the MILLIONS of demonstrators in Hong Kong.
    Then, when THOUSANDS of demonstrators here do the same thing, the US is caught being a HYPOCRITE if it does any thing violent to break up the Protest.

    On a different note. When the Police are questioned about 'Police Brutality', ...
    ... their response is to stop 'policing' and let the Riots and Looting continue.
    At some point the Public begins to endorse brutality and demands the Protesters 'be shot and killed'.

    A real sticky wicket, old boy.

    This might help, BoJo is offering to give up to three million Hong Kongers passports entitling them to settle in the UK.

    Boris Johnson says he would 'willingly' offer THREE MILLION people from Hong Kong visa-free refuge in the UK if China erodes human rights in the former British colony

    DT: 'Do as I say, not as I do.'

    Same thing with vote-by-mail.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

    The British will score points as 'Chinese run for Freedom'.
    Also, you will have a loyal Chinese population that can be manipulated for British Interests.

    You could do with some Hong Kong entrepreneurs in Wales, there are precious few Welsh ones. All you ever seem to do is sit on your arses and whine about the English. Hong Kong has no natural resources yet it's incredibly dynamic and the people are very ambitious and hard-working.

    Only in theory. The tory voters will see to it it never happens, ably represented by their MPs.
