Pro-Beijing supporters destroy yellow umbrellas, used to mark protesting denouncing far-reaching Beijing control, during a demonstration in Hong Kong, Sunday, May 26, 2019. A vigil will be held on June 4 at the Victoria Park to mark the 30th anniversary of the military crackdown on the pro-democracy movement at Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
Demonstrators took to the streets holding yellow umbrellas that read “Support Freedom, Oppose Evil Laws.” Some people carried a black coffin, while others wheeled white crosses and the numbers 6 and 4 — a nod to the day on June 4, 1989, when leaders of China’s ruling Communist Party ordered the military to re-take Tiananmen Square from student-led protesters.
Commemorations of the historic event are strictly banned in mainland China, and those who attempt to raise awareness of or merely discuss it are often punished by authorities. Groups such as the “Tiananmen Mothers” are pressured to stay quiet about the children they lost, while others are detained for making even subtle tributes to the occasion.
This year in Hong Kong, the march took on additional significance as opposition to changes to an extradition law widely seen as eroding the territory’s independent legal system.
Brave souls. Hope citizens in USA shoe a tenth of their courage in standing up to the assaults on our democracy.
At this point, it seems like 'focusing on bringing Democracy to nations without it' is a fool's errand after the abject failure in Iraq, much less the INABILITY of the GOP to honor the Constitution at home.

China makes its case for Hong Kong's divisive extradition billsA Chinese official in Hong Kong is urging the quick passage of legal measures to allow fugitives to be transferred to the mainland. China’s extradition law worries me. But, Trump’s America can no longer stand on moral high ground calling China’s extradition law evil. Trump’s America is now the biggest bully in the world, forcing everyone, including Allies, to pay tribute to America.

China's pig disease outbreak pushes up global pork pricesPrices are up, yet profits are down, as farmers across China struggle to make ends meet as a deadly, unstoppable virus continues to ravage swine herds from Beijing to Hong Kong. africanswinefever So why was the disease named African swine fever Is it to associate Africa with everything bad or what? 'Oh well', that's China's Problem. We are only concerned about the United States. We support our President, President Donald Trump in his negotiations with China on the Unfair Trade Policies. Joe O'Biden has 'No Problem' with China but with the O'Biden' s its all about $$$$$$$$$$ I can imagine the Chinese government is lending pig farmers lots of money to buy lots of swine.
