China accuses Pelosi and McConnell of inciting 'chaos' in Hong Kong

A spokeswoman for China's Foreign Ministry claimed Tuesday that recent comments from American lawmakers — including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. — demonstrate that Washington's real goal is to incite chaos in the city.

"By neglecting and distorting the truth, they whitewashed violent crimes as a struggle for human rights and freedom, and deliberately misinterpreted the work of Hong Kong police as violent repression when the police were only enforcing the law, fighting crimes and upholding social order," she said. Given that background, many in Hong Kong said the proposed extradition law would erode their city's autonomy. Hong Kong's leader, Carrie Lam, eventually announced the government would indefinitely halt the bill, but protests continued as demonstrators called for it to be officially withdrawn and for an investigation into police actions.

The Democratic leader reiterated earlier calls for the White House "to suspend future sales of munitions and crowd control equipment to the Hong Kong police force," saying that "Democrats and Republicans in Congress stand united with the people of Hong Kong in demanding the hopeful, free and democratic future that is their right."

In a corresponding statement, the Senate leader said Beijing should seek to "emulate" Hong Kong and its freedoms — not "remake it in the image of the Chinese Communist Party." He characterized the violence as "increasingly brutal police tactics and pro-Mainland vigilantes ... drawing blood in an effort to intimidate Hong Kongers back into submission."

CrudeAlerts Blame the weak individuals in 🇺🇸!

So not content with controlling the people of Hong Kong. The Chinese State wishes to control the thoughts and words of the rest of the world. No that doesn't sound Orwellian at all?

Sounds like China is preparing the ground for the tanks to come in and kill a few million HK people. World leaders will huff and puff and in 12 months time it’ll be business as usual. At least that’s what China is hoping for. Of course world leaders will agree 4 $$$.

They’ve never worked together on anything.

Actually agree with china, the protestors arent fighting for democracy. They are attacking law enforcement (which is encouraged by libtards here now) to discourage them from changing a law that is similar to sanctuary city status here. US should myob.

I can’t wait until socialism leads to communism here

There is a possibility. The US has problem. Wants to be the Robinhood of the rest of the world but forgets about its own people..

Predictable Chinese propaganda ramping up.

We see the invasion of communists in a democratic society! you can not stand it! China swallowed many countries, Turkestan, Manchuria, Tibet, part of Mongolia, occupying neutral waters in the South China Sea

jfhksar88 But China never said Xi and Trump are good friends and supported Xi on how he handled HK protesters?

As usual. Complete projection.

Dip into any pro-China discussion on twitter and check out the ages of the accounts. All new within the past six weeks or so. Many many bots.

But they didn’t blame Fearless Leader

Will she ever gonna retire?

lol

By incite chaos, does China mean support democracy?

Anti-China is the only topic to unite D and R, just like anti-Trump is the only way to keep D United. Ridiculous but true.

sanctions must be imposed against china !!!
