I have a file on Hong Kong (HK) as thick as my hand and several concerned people have emailed me, asking me to write something. So, here is an update.
I wrote about the long, sordid history of colonial and post-colonial Hong Kong at great length in The China Trilogy. It makes for fascinating reading, from Britain’s and the US’s global illegal drug and money laundering capital, to a nominal Chinese city, which in reality is still a British colony in all but name.
I have written many HK articles available on China Rising Radio Sinoland, including being guest on TV and radio. I didn’t realize how much work I’ve published on it, until I put this list together. They are all still very valid and up to date with what’s going on, since the West only has one monovision playbook of global capitalism, war, color revolutions and chaos against its enemies. Instead of repeating myself, here they are for your perusal. If you see Hong Kong in the title, that means it’s the main focus. Otherwise, it is part of the comparison and contrast discussion:

In addition to this rich catalogue on Hong Kong, I would like to shout out Wei Ling Chua (http://www.outcastjournalist.com/) for being the best journalist on Planet Earth, in reporting on this subject. He is not posting his ongoing HK updates on his website, but is sending out regular email blasts. If you’d like to be on his list, I’m sure he’d be glad to add you. Email him at: wchua62@gmail.com, with “ADD” in the subject window.
As an up-to-the-minute look at what is going on in Hong Kong, here are a few facts the Big Lie Propaganda Machine (BLPM) intentionally censors behind the Great Western Firewall:
- Hong Kong’s GDP and other official data are not included in Mainland China’s statistics, so Baba Beijing doesn’t really give a rat’s ass whether the economy craters or not, which it is. HK has 7.44 million inhabitants, ranking it as a second-tier city on the Mainland, with Chengdu, Dongguan and Wuhan. HK is falling into recession, down 3.2% in third quarter 2019 alone. In August, there were 850,000 fewer tourists than the year before. People are leaving in droves: students, businesspersons and service workers. I have a good friend who is a doctor. He just shut down his clinic in HK and moved his practice to Beijing. Another friend teaching there contacted me about working in Shenzhen, because HK has become such a Western color revolution disaster. There are thousands like them. Billions of dollars are being drained out of people’s lives.
- The West’s color revolution chaos in HK is a wonderful poster child for Baba Beijing to show the world why Eurangloland’s fake democracy is a disaster for humanity and Planet Earth, while communist-socialist China just keeps on trucking like a highspeed train into the 22nd century. If you are living behind the Great Western Firewall, you may not be noticing this contrast, but billions of citizens in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania are. Hong Kong’s destruction is one of Baba Beijing’s best public relations coups ever. Thank you, Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi!
Wow! What a coincidence! Below, US corporate managed opposition Nancy Pelosi, with fake leftist US Representative Jim McGovern, who are proud to support violent, ransacking rioters, while above, paid CIA stooges in Hong Kong are wearing the same t-shirt. The Mandarin says, “Reclaim Hong Kong, Days of Revolution”.
- The CIA and FBI have well known offices in Hong Kong. Including the American consulate, there are more than 1,000 US government agents in the territory, and they are not there to just eat dim sum and enjoy a ride on the Star Ferry, as enjoyable as all that is. This does not include thousands of so-called NGOs, many that are CIA-FBI-NED-MI6-Soros-Omidyar color revolution chop shops. Baba Beijing doesn’t mind, as they are vacuuming petaflops of signal and human intelligence on all their sabotage and chaos, providing valuable planning and vaccination to prevent another color revolution in China, like 1989’s Tiananmen demonstration. For every color revolution saboteur and spy, there’s probably 1-2 Mainland agents watching their every move, recording every second of signal communication. It’s like an entomologist having a test tube full of maggot-filled dog shit to study up close. Priceless. Somebody call MasterCard to film a trendy, new ad.
- There are more than 800 Christian churches and another 800 Christian schools in HK. There is open evidence that many in both groups are working hand-in-hand with the rioting saboteurs, to provide cover and logistics, with the CIA gangsters providing the millions to pay for all of it. Many of these property wrecking gangsters are members of these Christian outfits, all because of their hatred of communist-socialist China.
- Always remember that yes, Hong Kong returned to the Mainland, under the 1997 Basic Law Treaty negotiated between Margaret Thatcher and Deng Xiaoping, but under the One Country-Two Systems agreement, to last until 2047. On the left is communist-socialist China, getting richer, more advanced and more powerful by the day. On the right is jungle capitalist, neoliberal Hong Kong, owned lock, stock and barrel by ten multibillionaire families, who exploit it like a metropolitan Honduras. They are merely inconvenienced by the West’s color revolution, but will still be gazillionaires, even if the territory implodes. This, while Hong Kong has some of the most unaffordable housing in the world, with more and more of the ever-poorer middle and lower classes being driven into homelessness, sardine packed shoebox apartments, or wire cages to stay off the streets. Poverty has been increasing for years in HK and now accounts for 20% of the people and growing. One-third of these impoverished are elderly. It’s the capitalist American Dream. Tent cities can’t be far behind in HK’s still grossly underdeveloped and neglected New Territories – this after 180 years of British exploitation. This, while communist-socialist China will have eliminated extreme poverty in the entire country by the end of 2020.
A more and more common need in Hong Kong, people forced to live in wire cages, since housing is unaffordable for the people. This, while communist socialist China is building millions of low-income housing around the Mainland.
- Never forget that under its One Country-Two Systems, Hong Kong is still a British hellhole for the 99%. The governor, Carrie Lam and all her family are well-to-do UK citizens. Much of the high-level government administration is staffed by Brits. The HK court system is full of foreign judges. The vast majority of the banks are foreign owned, without forgetting the territory’s 10-family, oligarchic owners. As you can imagine, most, if not all them have a visceral hatred of communism and socialism, and therefore China as well.
- Western media and leaders are gloating over Hong Kong’s district election results last week, where Beijing supporting reps were swept out of power, to be replaced by anti-China ones. This is standard Western “democracy” in action, where bad socioeconomic news results in the voters genuflecting to the opposition, no matter who they are. The district elections are like local neighborhood councils, not the real seats of power, which are in the territory-wide Legislative Council (LegCo). Even if pro-Chinese LegCo reps are replaced by Mainland hating ones, I don’t think Baba Beijing would really care. In fact, China may be hoping that does happen, so the onus of trying to fix Hong Kong’s hopeless, neoliberal nightmare is on the haters. Now, the CIA-FBI-NGO complex is going to have to decide whether or not to stop or slow down the billions of dollars of color revolution losses bleeding the people of Hong Kong. They could do this to demonstrate the “superiority” of Western style elections. As I wrote in an article cited above, Eurangloland has been fruitless in its HK sabotage, going back to 2014. The West is hoping to get Baba Beijing to send People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops to quell the violence and chaos in HK, to gain another Tiananmen-esque Big Lie Propaganda cudgel, with which to demonize and club China for the next 30 years – and that’s clearly not going to happen. With the lower tier elections and nothing else to show for a city they have destroyed, Euranglolanders can declare victory and take a breather until they concoct round three.
A photo from The China Trilogy. It says, “Oppose Capitalism. Occupy Central”. That’s the real story in Hong Kong, global capitalism’s colonial impoverishment of the 99%, which you never see behind the Great Western Firewall.
- You can’t say Baba Beijing doesn’t have a sense of humor. A couple of weeks ago, after a particularly bloody and ransacking color revolution night, the PLA garrison in HK came out of their barracks alright. Not with guns, not even riot gear. They came out with trash bags and garbage cans to clear all the bricks, rocks and rubbish the rioters had thrown onto nearby streets, to keep citizens from going to work, while encouraging the people to stop the violence and chaos. Then, they quietly returned to their garrison. Talk about a class act!
- For all friends, fans and followers of China Rising Radio Sinoland, who are concerned that Eurangloland has scored a great victory against Baba Beijing, with the district election losses, not to worry. It’s understandable, if you are thinking like Westerners. But, China knows exactly what it is doing and what it refuses to fall for. I can promise you Baba Beijing knows by heart, line for line, the timeless Chinese classics, The 36 Stratagems of War and The Art of War. Over the long run, Confucism, Daoism, Buddhism and Mao Zedong’s geopolitical vision will win the Sino-day. It’s thanks to Mao that China is not Ukraine or Bolivia. Letting the world watch in horror, as jungle capitalist, neoliberal, imperial Hong Kong cannibalizes itself, thanks to the continually failing Western color revolution being orchestrated there, since 2014, will be a case study for Chinese universities, think tanks and relevant government entities to discuss for decades to come.
- Go Pelosi go! Trump, yoh duh M-A-N! Cackle for us, Hillary! Pompeo, go ahead and create your own reality! Baba Beijing just loves the millennial weakness and folly of your racist hubris! You have been losing this game big time, since 1949…

Well, damn it, Jeff, what a great Thanksgiving gift you left for us. Well-written, one of your best here at the Vineyard. Packed with facts and styled with verve and humor.
Your up close and personal report should clear the air of the blowback bullsh*t manufactured for MSM consumption.
Man killed with thrown bricks, man doused and ignited as sport for the terrorists of Hong Kong seems to have gotten zero empathy even when the media showed some of these atrocities. Justified! Beijing’s fault, no less.
It’s police brutality, they report. 250 policemen hospitalized for injuries, but it’s police brutality that must be investigated and punished or the riots continue.
Hong Kong is the US’s next Ukraine, a whore to be beaten and used for geopolitical gain. Pity the innocents.
Thanks for the article. And the links to more information.
Keep at it.
Well there is good news in all this, by waiting six months the CCP (Beijing) has allowed themselves to collect all information,
1.) Who funded the kids ( HK billionaires like Lai apple-hk )
2.) Which parents aided&abetted and encouraged their kids, some as young as 8 years old, lots of parents shuttled young children to&from the riot areas. You can be sure these family’s are going be losing their housing, whether they own it or not.
3.) Who can be trusted, who cannot be trusted.
4.) Which banks played along with rioter goals, and which did not
5.) 100’s of 1,000’s of camera’s operating 24/7 in every location, including university’s allowed the police (CCP) to 100% ID all rioters and track them with their mobile phones. All leading to their safe-houses, and their sponsors.
The future in HK ain’t bright for these people who supported the elite rich of HK, and their CIA-MI6 handlers ( Mostly USA state-department )
IMHO HK will be an example say over the next year, and example for Taiwan, or any other ‘outlaw province’ that decides to secede from mainland China.
One thing is clear all the kinds have been cut off from funding, and now the CCP is going after their sponsors, that’s why you have all seen 1/2 dozen Chinese(HK) stock’s plummet 99% in a day over the past week, since the riots have ended. Company’s held by the Elite in HK, are being systematically defunded. With capital flight limitations of $50K USD/day, its not likely much money will escape. These ‘billionaires’ really thought they were going to win.
This will be the biggest cleansing since Mao (20M est), but like the Chinese say “100 Monkey Ruling”, you kill one monkey, and the other 99 become compliant. I think in this case you only need to bankrupt/defund a dozen HK billionaires, and there will be not much more of this in any of the Chinese provinces, as only one thing is loved, and that is hard cash.
In HK ‘heads you might win a CIA franchise, tails you lose it all’, only get to make the bet one time.
Interesting, but there was no (20M) Mao ‘cleansing’. There was in fact the greatest and fastest leap in human life expectancy, from less than forty to nearly seventy, for the largest population on Earth.
Can’t really wrap my head, like the man said one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.
How many has USA-ANZ killed since say 1940’s 10’s of millions perhaps more, think about the arabs, north-koreans, vietnamese, laos, cambodia. Me thinks uncle-sam/shomo has killed 100’s of MIllions since 1920’s
How many Jews really died during ‘holocaust’? Nobody knows, but more queers, gypsies, and chronically poor died that’s for certain
How many Russian’s died 1915-1955?
How many Chinese died 1945-1970?
David Rockefeller called the culling in China 20-70M his greatest and most successful experiment of his life.
…
The point being made is that CCP doesn’t have to kill that many, if they just make the billionaires who financed the COUP pay. All the rich will think twice next time before they finance a COUP even near the CCP.
Well except the USA that prints FIAT for free, how many 100’s of ANZ billionaires have been created since 2000? A lot. But China creates 10X more millionaires everyday than the USA.
The Chinese even the rich in HK, had to work for their money, I think the guy LAI in HK started Giordano back in the 1970’s to make his first 100 MIllion USD. Now he owns most of the media in HK, well he did :)
…
Deagel Report say’s USA population to drop from 320M to 80M by 2025, that’s 240M people just ‘vanished’ might make all prior numbers look insignificant.
Operation Paper Clip,
You seem to forget that China has been financing these U.S. wars.
In China millions died because of famine exacerbated by mistakes made in the Great Leap Forward. Many died as scores were settled by the peasants with landlords and other oppressors after Liberation, although the CCP generally attempted to control the outbursts of vengeance. Many died in the fighting in the GPCR, and that’ about it. The numbers have, naturally, been exaggerated by Western anti-communists and fakestream presstitute liars. The numbers killed in the USSR were similarly exaggerated for propaganda purposes. The number of Jewish human beings murdered by the Nazis and other fascists seems to have been between four and six million, and the number murdered by the USA, just since WW2, taking into account direct slaughter, slaughter by proxies and stooges, slaughter by neo-liberal capitalist economic oppression etc, must be somewhere between fifty and one hundred million, although Gideon Polya, an expert demographer, calculates ‘excess deaths’ caused by Thanatopian actions, as an order of magnitude greater than that.
Mulga mumblebrain, 20 Million or 2Million killed by Mao and all you can do is make excuses or pretend you know more than than the CCP by contradicting their own admissions. It is immoral to sweep a aside the mass killings of 20Million or 2Million.
The theory that China did all the good you attribute to them is discredited.
Anonytrot, your Sinophobia may be driven by ideological fanaticism and envy, but it still reeks of Western civilizational contempt. The greatest ever leap in total human welfare and life satisfaction has occurred in China since 1949, despite mistakes, and Oriental supremacists cannot abide that-it insults their presumption of racial, cultural and, as in your case, ideological superiority to all the ‘lesser breeds’.
Well said, Asia Banker. My deep research shows the number of counter-revolutionaries killed in China’s 1950s was closer to 2 million, but you are right on the money.
Sino-best, Jeff
Asian Banker, looks like your theory doesn’t hold any water, firstly, the HK protestors and their political candidates have won 87% of the seats they just contested in the just held elections. Secondly, the protests are back on to send a message to Beijing that they are back and unbowed. Thirdly, unlike the propaganda lie that HK doesn’t matter, no, unfortunately for those in denial, HK does, currently, matter to Beijing, or they would have come down with a hammer months ago.
Now, it is possible, that in future, that Beijing will try to shift the functions that HK carries out to Shanghai, but that is a long way off if it even happens. Now the Trump administration has further cornered Beijing by tying actions in HK to the trade war negotiations (which the USA is winning).
Oh, dear-Anonytrot thinks that those incompetent ChiComms cannot move the functions carried out in Hong Kong to Shanghai. You want a bet! In Shanghai the West would have to play by Chinese rules in China, an outrage to these racist supremacists, who prefer their Chinese subservient, obedient, compradores who worship their Western betters. As Liu Xiaobo, that archetypal ‘banana’ said, to his Western Masters’ delight, the Chinese will never be fully human until they Westernise.
Well, there is one big difference between Ukraine and HK. While Ukraine is, at least nominally, state, HK is classified as . The key words in this classification are of the People’s Republic of China.
As far the CCP is concerned, since HK was turned over by the Brits to PRC, HK is PRC’s territory. Yes, it was given a special status, but that status was given by the people in power in Beijing, and they can take it back. As far as the PRC is concerned, whatever happens in HK is internal matter,to be handled as they see fit. Including rolling over the protesters with tanks, as they did 30 years ago. And they may yet do it, if CCP decides that the political cost not to quash the riots (and show to everyone in HK whos’ the boss) by any means necessary is bigger than any cost – the last time I checked PRC and USA are in the middle of a trade war anyway.
Many thanks, Larchmonter45. I love your work! Keep it up.
Sino-best, Jeff
Great stuff!
The British agreed to transfer ahong Kong over to China, what about what Hong Kong wants?
As someone who grew up being told that I should eat my dinner because kids in China were starving, and my response was, send it to them, I would have to say that thanks to Nixon, China is eliminating poverty, and if it were not for the United States China would not be enjoying the things that it is today!
As far as people living in wire cages, really? Why ? Certainly not shelter!
Perhaps the only best option these people had was living on the cold streets or the wire cage, they chose the cage. Here we have city park benches, city brick walls, subways, and a few even choose the sidewalks b/c we would not tolerate indoor shelters that looked like cages.
How would a wire cage protect anyone from anything? It wouldn’t. That is all that I am asking for an explanation for.
Is it to draw attention to the fact that they do not have a place to live? That, I can understand.
Wire cages:
https://allthatsinteresting.com/cage-homes-hong-kong
Andrea – I suspect the wire cages are to keep other people out of your few remaining belongings if you leave the building. Wire is a cheap and effective way to demarcate space. This is all the space they have, but it’s theirs.
I don’t think they’re being caged in, I think the hostile world is being caged out, in the last remaining refuge for a person with nothing left.
Better than the US.
~~
As I say, I suspect this. I don’t know it. Perhaps you would care to research it and let us know?
Greived,
Thanks, but I have other priorities.
For some readon I didn’t see the photo when I first read the article.
I wouldn’t take the words “wire cage” too literally. Look at the photo, it looks more like bunk beds with some sort of mesh (presumably) to prevent people or stuff from falling out.
I’m not familiar enough with Asia to dare guess what this really is, or whether it’s normal, or how many people live like that. Certainly doesn’t look very comfortable though, from a European point of view. But I also read that in Japan some people live in coffin-size apartments, so who knows…
Calling these bunk beds (if that’s what they are) “wire cages” certainly is a bit hyperbolic though!
Ok, how about being in an indoor wire cage or an outdoor tent, who is protected better from not only the elements, but as these prior posters mentioned, thieves.
An excellent article explaining China’s actions regarding the zionazi-gay color rev. in HK. Clears things up very well.
Well good article, and I’m glad your touching HK. We don’t get enough HK on Saker.
First of all no mention of the pathetic vote in USA, I mean can you imagine if China voted about the way USA treated it urban-blacks, or immigrants in cages? Yawn, MSM wouldn’t even cover the story. Who cares what USA thinks? Certainly not China.
One thing not mentioned in your article is that HK is dead, that these kids have no hope, that the $1M USD compartments their parents own are going to implode in value, that these kids can never own in HK.
Spoiled rotten little brat’s, you mentioned 7M in a small cage.
I have stayed in smaller cages at chunking-mansions, very nice place. Even the small cage is $50/night. But good news now is that high-end hotels are down 90% because there are no customers. :)
…
We all know what the USA ( anglo-zionism ) the “Joker” is the perfect example, they want to see the world burn, they want a reset. They already have all the money and sex in the world, and mansions, think Epstein ( Trumps mentor ).
At this point all they can really do is cull the population of the world 90% so that they can have it all, without bumping into goyim on the street.
IMHO USA is a mercenary army, so is EU. HK too will become a mercenary army for anglo-zionism, they’ll continue to train these kids, like they do in Taiwan. It’s hopeless battle, but kids don’t know or care, they just want to burn today.
So its easy for ANZ to play these HK people, cuz they got no future. China doesn’t need HK, its just a British whorehouse, and most of these kids are bastards from a long time ago.
For a awhile HK was shopping for the Rich Chinese, now that gig is done forever, nobody is going to venture back now, these people not forget.
Thus HK is only going to get worse, much worse.
The Chinese Military PLA isn’t going to invade. Why should they, let HK starve and bankrupt itself
You also mention the ten billionaires, like LAI, what you didn’t mention is that most of those Billionaires funded the rioters, because the CIA promised them they would become dictators over much of China, once it gets carved up into little States/Colony’s owned by CIA.
A recurring theme here is USA taxpayer money is used in HK, no its not, the USA-CIA trains the kids to make molotov cocktails, but the money is native organic. Lot’s of HK rich support Taiwan, they know that the mainland is going to kill their racket. A lot of HK is mafia, they also know that China will kill their racket.
So much of HK will continue to fester. What I’m seeing is that selectively Beijing clear out the money of these rich, they have already closed the HSBC accounts to all these kids. Note the week that the riots ended, was the same week that the ATMS issued to the kids quit working.
Unfortunately it turned out as one of the worst case scenario for the HK ‘collateral damage’ grade…
‘The Separation’ then “The Cleansing’
sigh :(
It appear the old Mao and old CKS unfinished ‘business’ is to be dealt with once and for all,
and HK is the ‘test bed-battle ground’
I have always suspect they are not waiting until 2047
and they leaked their intention/cards,
and the west is FULLY HYPER Triggered and went all out… into CPP honey pot
small meaningless win is dangerous when the trap is setup to surround you from the outside…
If HK (a smaller size target) is ‘mission accomplished’ then Taiwan will almost automatically fall (saving a lot more energy)
and when Taiwan falls, then Asia route is secured.
Then the New Eastern World will formally go LIVE…
while the other side, well, something always happens…
I won’t be surprise CCP has a quota
that after certain amount of population leave and relocate from HK,
the show will begin…
There is way too much virtue signalling that there is a BIG YUGE Show coming
and no one will not forget it for the next century to come…
Again my suggestion is – RUN – Art of War No.36
Excellent comments, AB AIIB-SCO. With the Western CIA/NATO complex controlling well over $300 billion annually in heroin and cocaine sales, mostly in Europe and North America, it has unlimited black money to spend lavishly wherever anti-global capitalists live. So, true, US’s taxpayers don’t fund HK’s terrorism, but its poor and minority neighborhoods pay the highest price for destroyed lives, crime and wrecked local economies. And you are right, the billionaires in HK are also funding the riots, for hating communism-socialism.
Sino-best, Jeff
Excellent article! I do believe that the HK events are not just a case study for China, but also a powerful antidote against any separatist, colour revolutionary ideas in places such as Taiwan.
I’m rather enjoying this spectacle. China has far too long been more than happy to let Russia and Iran take on the Yanks on their own. Good to see that they can’t just weasle out of the fight this time around.
If China wants to fight back, they need to do more than just bark and complain about interference. Their strategy of not escalating things and winning the hearts and minds by letting the protestors run wild obviously didn’t work as demonstrated by the election results from just few days ago (which pro-Beijing outlets didn’t even report on out of embarrassment, RT included). And if China is counting on Trump to lose the election and negotiating with the next Dem president they can forget about that.
I’m happy that the arrogant Anglos are crazy enough to take on China while still being hostile to Russia. Should have at least tried to stay friendly with one. I just wish the US’s conflict with China would escalate and have both sides lose. It would be a great victory for humanity.
If corey read the article, doubtful, it is obvious what was described in it about China’s handling of his masters’ HK color rev. was way above his head. :-D
Just yesterday I thought of sending Jeff a message to ask what the hell is going on in Hong Kong? Thanks Jeff for the update.
It seems like the US is on autopilot. More coups or bust! The US really enjoys bring suffering, destruction, and death to the world.
Jeff’s article confirms what impression I had – that Peking is letting the US crew self destruct there. I feel somewhat sorry for the dumb young people being used by the old colonialist powers. Some day when older they will look back and realize how they were used. My heart goes out to the innocent there that are suffering from the western backed yahoos that didn’t deserve any of this.
What’s going on in Hong Kong is only a microcosm of the Anglo American Empire’s hybrid war on the world.
Similar Anglo-American hybrid wars are being or have been waged against Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Cuba, North Korea, and Russia.
Regime change ops and destabilization campaigns pimped as “Pro-Democracy” movements; US economic terrorism through the use of sanctions and a weaponized Dollar; Two-Minutes of Hate Campaigns pushed by the Anglophone-controlled “Free Press”; and military encirclement and provocations.
There are only some of the Machiavellian tactics that the Anglo-Americans deploy.
As Caitlin Johnstone has put it, this war is a (disguised) Third World War against all nations that have refused to be absorbed into the Empire:
“What we are witnessing can best be described as a slow-motion third world war between what amounts to an unofficial globe-spanning empire centralized around the United States and its military on one side, and all the nations which have refused to be absorbed into this empire on the other. Nations which allow themselves to be absorbed are rewarded with the carrot of military and economic alliance with the empire, and nations which refuse are punished with the stick of invasions, sanctions, trade wars, and coups, with the ultimate goal being total unipolar global domination. The bigger the imperial blob grows, the stronger and more effective it becomes in undermining the interests of unabsorbed nations like Venezuela and Cuba.
Nothing takes precedence over this agenda of unipolar hegemony. As long as a nation remains loyal to the empire, it can fund terrorists, butcher Washington Post columnists, and create the worst humanitarian crisis in the world without fear of any retribution of any kind from the US-centralized empire. As a leaked State Department memo explained in 2017, so far as the empire is concerned human rights violations are nothing more than a strategic narrative control weapon with which to attack unabsorbed nations, and to be ignored when they are perpetrated by absorbed nations.”
The Anglo Axis nations–America, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand–along with their crime partners like Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan are a threat of the first order–especially as they have concealed their predatory character behind the civilizational deception called Liberal Democracy.
The Anglo-American Axis of Evil will not stop until they are defeated–completely, utterly, and without compunction.
The way China is defusing the HK color revolution is a good example of how wise the leadership in the country are. Their strategy regarding rare earth elements described in the following article ain’t so bad, either…
Against the Odds: China Expanded Quotas For Rare-Earth Metals
https://sputniknews.com/business/201911291077428339-against-the-odds-china-expanded-quotas-for-rare-earth-metals/
“China is the world’s main producer of rare-earth metals. Most of the world’s reserves of this raw material are concentrated in its grounds. Since the early 2000s, China has been actively developing the rare-earth processing industry. This was a logical decision, as China has been a world factory for many decades, where, for example, most of the electronics are produced.
As a result, even those rare-earth elements that are mined in the Mountain Pass Mine in California, for example, are sent for processing to China. China currently controls over 90% of the rare earth market, which is estimated at $4 billion. This situation has begun to worry Washington: what if, as a result of a trade conflict, China decides to restrict or stop exporting rare earth metals entirely?
Contrary to these concerns, however, China did not reduce the production of rare-earth metals but instead expanded its quotas. The use of rare-earth metals as leverage against other countries would hit the image of China and lead to the transformation of global supply chains, which is not beneficial to Beijing, Wang Yiwei, a professor at the School of International Studies at Renmin University, told Sputnik:
“If China used rare-earth metals as a bargaining chip, it would be detrimental to China and the rest of the world, as it would ruin China’s international image”, the expert said.
The expert also pointed out that rare-earth metal reserves were not limited to China. These resources are found in Australia, Mongolia, Japan, and, after all, in the US itself. Therefore, restricting the production and export of these metals would only lead to China losing its leading position in this market, and its place would be taken by alternative suppliers.
On the contrary, the expansion of production is much more efficient. With the increase in market supply, this resource price falls. Under such conditions, it is becoming less profitable to invest in new production facilities, as the US is trying to do now. Therefore, this step of China, on the contrary, strengthens its position the world of rare earth metals supply. Furthermore, expanding output of this resource meets China’s internal needs, Wang Yiwei noted.”
The article goes on to describe the role of rare earth elements in the Industry 4.0 Project, as well.
One quite unbiased view on Honk Kong:
https://hongkong.asiaxpat.com/news/eds-must-reads/262623/the+nightmare+from+which+we+never+awaken/
“AX: You have changed tactics initially using mass rallies to voice your demands and now have turned to violence. Why is that?
Protesters: We tried peaceful protests in 2014 and waited patiently for 5 years and we accomplished nothing. So now we turn to violence. Now we target the Hong Kong economy in the hopes that this will get the attention of the authorities and force them to act.
AX: I am sure you are aware of the collapsing tourism and retail numbers as well as the teetering property market. How do you feel about that?
Protesters: This is success. This is progress. We are hoping this will force the government to respond to our demands.
AX: But are you not concerned that if this continues without them responding that the economy will reach a tipping point and collapse?
Protesters: We are aware of that and hope that the government will respond to our demands before it comes to that. However, if the city’s economy collapses, we are fine with that because that will definitely force change. As it stands, for many protesters, our economic circumstances are already dire. We are living with collapse already.”
Nice article !
“Letting the world watch in horror, as jungle capitalist, neoliberal, imperial Hong Kong cannibalizes itself, thanks to the continually failing Western color revolution being orchestrated there, since 2014, will be a case study for Chinese universities, think tanks and relevant government entities to discuss for decades to come.”
It will be indeed a fascinating case study in terms of geo-politics.
In Act 2 42 the real followers of Christ had all things in common. They were commonist not corrupt sellouts,
800 Christian churches?!! Ah, you must be including the banks!
“I have a good friend who is a doctor. He just shut down his clinic in HK and moved his practice to Beijing. Another friend teaching there contacted me about working in Shenzhen”
Significant? Asian with ‘marketable skills’ formerly moved to ‘the West’ eg, to Australia.
Any individual with an open mind can plainly see that the West is sinking into a sewer of inequality, elite hyper-avarice, class hatred, unpayable debt, inter-generational hatred, mass immiseration and social collapse, while China continues to rise, creating social welfare and well-being beyond the dreams of the West’s vast underclasses and struggling ‘middle’. In the West, itself, of course, the serfs are so thoroughly brainwashed and metabolically and neurologically deranged by junk food and widespread drug use, as to still believe that the West is best, the US economy the largest on Earth and ‘liberal democracy’ with its internecine hyper-partisan hatreds threatening to spill into civil war, is the ‘End of History’. The choice between the future and the past sinking into self-inflicted corruption is easy, particularly for a Chinese.
There is a Catholic/Protestant vs Buddhism thing going on in Hong Kong with the anglophile “Christians” being pro-Empire and pro-West and anti-China while he Buddhists being pro-China. Nothing to do with communism.
The compradore vermin in Hong Kong follow the dictum of the traitor Liu Xiaobo, that the Chinese will never be fully human until they Westernise. That is the utterance of the hyper-Quisling.
Hong Kong unmasked: The real reasons & instigators behind anti-Beijing riots
https://www.rt.com/news/474756-hong-kong-protests-china-us/
“Having personally witnessed brutal clashes and spoken to key figures on both sides of the barricades, RT America’s Michele Greenstein paints a comprehensive picture of the protest’s origins and handlers.
The contentious extradition bill, which was the catalyst for the uprising this summer, served only as a pretext, while its nature was grossly misinterpreted. It doesn’t mean that the islanders – suffocated by prosaic issues like high prices, poor housing conditions, and declining employment prospects for graduates, rather than a lack of ‘democracy’ – have nothing to be angry about.
Yet the demonstrators never challenged Hong Kong’s own authorities over this social inequality, directing their rage solely at mainland China – all while destroying their own city and virtually begging the US to sanction it, just to hurt Beijing.
With young and progressive leaders of the Hong Kong uprising cheered as noble ‘pro-democracy’ warriors and welcomed in the US with open arms, Washington isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the protests have been hijacked to demonize and destabilize its main economic rival – China.”
China should just let the compradore, hereditary fascist and self-hating Quisling scum destroy the place, while quietly ameliorating the poor housing conditions by a massive construction process, and encourage non-Quisling young Chinese to relocate across the Pearl River to the thriving hyper-metropolis. The rioters must be dealt with harshly, to get them off the streets for a few years and teach them a lesson, despite the obviously coming demands from the traitor thugs for some sort of amnesty. If some type of mechanism for deportation to their imagined paradises of the UK and the USA could be arranged, as a sort of sentence reduction, it would get them off China’s hands, although they will constitute a treacherous, fascist, revanchist emigre gang, like the Croats, Ukrainians, Balts, ‘South’ Vietnamese etc have all proved while festering in the West.
Sorry to be so misinformed-the fascist thugs have long demanded that their terrorist mates be granted an amnesty. Including for setting a man alight, one presumes.
Very good update and summary of the situation in Hong Kong. Thanks Jeff.
One more thing to watch is the recently HK “Human Rights” act passed in Congress with unanimous vote, and China’s retaliation against NGO. It will be good to track the development here.
