    "You know, the previous administration couldn't get this done, well any of the previous administrations couldn't get this done. But he's gone now under my administration. Look Kim was a bad guy. A nice guy towards me, but a bad guy. You hate to see him go, but he had to go what else can you say. It's a shame because we were building this big great beautiful relationship between our two countries. A lot of people were giving me credit. If he were alive today who knows we could've gotten something done on nukes. They can't have nukes. And we coulda made a deal"

    Who steps up if he dies? Probably isnt a good successor plan given his age and his tendency to kill family members. Good chance of a civil war if someone doesnt fill that void.

    Just a reminder that back in January—which feels like a century ago—

    Trump had "evidence" of an imminent threat from Qassem Soleimani.

    No one ever saw the evidence, and Trump eventually dropped the claim.

    China's Communist Party will impose a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong by fiat during the annual meeting of its top political body, officials said Thursday, criminalizing "foreign interference" along with secessionist activities and subversion of state power.

    The move is the boldest yet from Beijing to undercut Hong Kong’s autonomy and bring the global financial hub under its full control, as it works to rewrite the “one country, two systems” framework that has allowed the territory to enjoy a level of autonomy for the past 23 years.

    Later Thursday, representatives from Beijing’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office met with Hong Kong delegates to China’s legislature to explain the details of the national security law. The law, a direct response to last year’s protests, will ban secession, subversion of state power, foreign interference and terrorism, said Stanley Ng, a Hong Kong deputy to the NPC, who attended the meeting.

    The legislation could pass as early as next week and will bypass all of Hong Kong’s usual processes.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...641_story.html

    The people of Hong Kong have courageously resisted these types of measures and I'm sure they will continue to do so.

    imperialism and all that jazz...plus the 99 year lease the UK had on most of the land that comprises Hong Kong ran out in 1998

    but there is a dirty little secret...many british colonial subjects were fine with that status even with all the little indignities that came with it...and I can say this having been a british colonial subject in my formative years

    And now more reason to suspect the CCP virus was intentionally released.

    CCP can crackdown on HK without the world paying attention as closely as they once could.

    Just wait till Trump loses. Then he will be all about that CCP coronavirus coup. Should change his avatar to a tinfoil owl.

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson raised the stakes in a confrontation with China over Hong Kong on Wednesday, promising to allow nearly three million people eligible for a British overseas passport to live and work in Britain if Beijing were to impose a new security law on the former British colony.

    Mr. Johnson’s promise, made in a column in The Times of London, would open the door to a significant influx of people fleeing Hong Kong, should the situation in the city deteriorate further. But it left unanswered questions about how difficult it would be for those arrivals to obtain British citizenship.

    Describing it as one of the biggest changes in visa regulations in British history, Mr. Johnson said the roughly 350,000 Hong Kong residents who hold a British national overseas passport, as well as some 2.5 million who are eligible to apply for one, would be granted 12-month renewable visas that would allow them to work in Britain and put them on a path to citizenship.

    Hong Kong is a golden goose. If China wants to kill it that's on them.

    This is a rare exception for my immigration beliefs. I think there is a lot of talent to snipe from Hong Kong and it equally hurts China.

    Win/win

    For the most part the beliefs of the people of hing kong are similar to America first.
