Re: Hong Kong Protesters: Radical Elements Storm Parliament
ahh so what the take??
will China commit to another Tiananmen Square? Will locals back down once the tanks start rolling down the streets?
China does have over xxx number of troops already an waiting on hk island on their many bases.
Shenzhen is a short 30 minute drive from downtown.
PLUS their bases in the south china seas, https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5520855/c ... al-photos/
Could this be a CIA style Black flag operation where Chinese provocateurs are starting the shit SO china will step in and finally squash things?
NOBODY can really get involved as HK is part of China no matter what they do, what will the US do< get up at the UN and cry "bad Boy"
wait for it...next step Taiwan
We live in interesting times for sure...

read the full article here, https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opin ... -hong-kongThe deployment of Chinese military police forces to the city of Shenzhen, just outside of Hong Kong, indicates Chinese President Xi Jinping's movement towards crushing the Hong Kong "Umbrella" protests. As I noted on Tuesday, the protesters' seizure of Hong Kong's international airport would appear to have crossed a red line for Beijing.
But what happens if Xi does send in the military? What will follow?
First, the military would probably wait to see if the presence of the People's Armed Police on Hong Kong streets would be enough to deter the protesters. Beijing's hope would be to end the protest movement or at least dramatically reduce its energy by the threat of using force.
......
Yet the key point here is that once the military is deployed, Beijing will be fully committed to victory. The Central Military Commission will be keenly aware of international attention to its military action. It will not want to encourage any perception abroad of its hesitation in the moment of action, in fear of emboldening actors such as the United States to more resolute resistance of China's foreign policy expansionism.
In short, there will be blood.
NOBODY can really get involved as HK is part of China no matter what they do, what will the US do< get up at the UN and cry "bad Boy"
wait for it...next step Taiwan

I'm in Hong Kong now, seems quiet.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

It would be good to hear from you, on the ground in HK. Has any of this really affected the daily routines of the masses there?

Khmer Times has posted an "opinion" letter by the Chinese embassador. They seem to have turned into a full-blown propaganda mouthpiece.

Airport has been reopened. I think it was closed for 48h ?

I don't believe that spittle is attributable to the Chinese ambassador, I believe their standards are rather higherBitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 8:57 pm Khmer Times has posted an "opinion" letter by the Chinese ambassador.

has more the air of a zealous fan championing their liege
and what's this obsession with 'color' revolution?
a great mass of HK citizens are taking to the streets, as a last resort, to demand, or rather, prevent detrimental changes in governance, imposed from afar
'western powers' such as the USA, no doubt have something to say about that . . .

Re: Hong Kong Protesters: Radical Elements Storm Parliament
The term "color revolution" has been in use for some time by the Cambodian authorities to describe opposition protests. Do a forum search about "black Mondays".Phnom Poon wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 9:18 pm
and what's the deal with 'color' revolution, as if that's something evil?
it's simply 'revolution', when the mass of people demand changes in governance, by taking to the streets
