CIA agents will soon be removed from HK

People are protesting against the dismal state of their prospects in HK. High housing prices and low social mobility. Those ills were a product of capitalism. Not saying any ideology is superior, but unchecked capitalism has been the root of these protests, not communism.

Very good!!

And the media keep going after Russia today ..... Whoo China is definitely controlling our fake media outlets along with democracts

You mean China renigged on a provision of return of the island from British rule I’m astonished that could happen.

Uighar people were locked up and women are apparently also being sterilised according to reports. Serious human rights violations. China should follow the rules like everyone else. Human rights violations cannot be tolerated.

That is, exactly why people protested in the first place. How is that legal. UN, are corrupt. China is, also involved in the Ethiopia dam project which is another high risk area of tension. East South China Sea tensions. Military drills, with Russia and Iran?
