Taiwan promised on Thursday to settle Hong Kongers who flee the Chinese-ruled city for political reasons, offering help from employment to counselling, and prompting angry condemnation from Beijing as it pushes security legislation for Hong Kong.

He said counselling services will also be available for Hong Kongers, some of whom may take part in increasingly violent pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. China denounced Taiwan’s move, saying its ruling Democratic Progressive Party was seeking to “loot a burning house” and sow discord. Help for Hong Kong has won rare bipartisan support in politically polarised Taiwan and three opposition parties have introduced bills to make it easier for Hong Kongers to live in Taiwan if they have to leave the city due to political reasons.

Taiwan in the cross hairs Hope USA, EU, UK, AUS, CAN ban together against CCP and their Wall Street enablers. We’re gonna find out how much juice Wall Street really has, and we know they have a lot

America should worry less about Hong Kong and more about Minnesota.

Thanks Taiwan from the bottom of my heart ❤️🙏

Awesome. China is asshoe

Good move by Taiwan, the Chinese should be taught a lesson

Taiwan’s administration always imagines that US will come to the rescue no matter what. The way Taiwan seeks everyone else’s approval of independence is almost like deep down themselves don’t believe they already are.

Taiwanese are very kind. But I seriously hope that they can screen carefully as the CCP might make use of this chance to infiltrate Taiwan. If that’s the case, I’d rather they safeguard their national security first.
