Did you know the Clintons? If so, I bet I know where he is.

There is no hope for him. Firstly he is not white and is not a Briton... the likelihood of the UK fighting for him is almost nil and it will not be long before they forget him.

China is our biggest threat and they are playing for keeps

What does a diplomatic officer do among the protesters? very illegal and against to the diplomacy.. of course he is arrested..

And to think people support this government instead of joining their countryman in hongkong to ask for more democratic prc government.

XHNews POTUS those who live in glass house don't throw stones on others

It seems that China is abusing the untouchable. A finger that doesn’t rest, touches human feces; Ethiopian proverb.

There have been two major crime families in the US. Both have evaded prosecution multiple times. They have polluted the politics of the US for over 60 years. They have proven they are above the law. They are Democrats. Welcome to the world of the Clinton's and Kennedy's.

OK Boris, get him home!
