Hong Kong + the West vs. China vs. Corporations

[allvol123]

Lololol

You want progressive do gooders to take a hard line against human rights abuses but not the guy who pretends to be tough on China. Not the leader of the free world. Not the guy who is supposed to be the antithesis to limp-wristed Obama.

Y'all are such frauds.

You hold Lebron to a higher standard than POTUS and that speaks volumes about both you and POTUS.

Trump is literally attacking people for not attacking China. Is that not reason enough to expect it from him?

Laugh all you want. Even the press that loves ridiculing trump is calling lebron and the nba out on this. Because they look absolutely foolish.

Again, his interview claiming Morey wasnt educated on the matter is one of the most foolish takes ever.

But Lebron had a hard week, as he himself stated. The people in Hong Kong are sympathetic I'm sure.

I'm not taking issue with that. I'm making fun of Lebron myself. I'm taking issue with hypocritical red hats who has **** to say about professional entertainers and not POTUS. There is no validity to anything you say. You don't like Lebron and you love Trump, so you give one a pass and trash the other, ironically calling the players unprincipled hypocrites.

The players have millions to lose and that's the reason they are being hypocrites. You have nothing to lose and you are being a hypocrite.

What about Trump? He doesn't pretend to be one of these young progressive do gooders.

But the NBA has built their personality around this. And they promptly shut their mouths. And I will restate, China enslaves people. To see prominent, influential African Americans shut their mouths in the face of a country that enslaves people, speaks volumes on these buffoons.

His comment on Morey not being educated on the matter is flat out disgusting.

Maybe Donald Sterling should buy an NBA team in China.

Maybe Donald Sterling should buy an NBA team in China.

Donald Sterling is an actually an interesting case. The Clippers players were faced with the option of forfeiting a game(s) or playing for a racist and they chose to play for a racist. Everybody is making a big deal out of them being SJW's here while playing in China, but they played here too when their SJW cred was on the line.

China denies asking for Morey's firing over tweet

During that same appearance, Silver revealed that the Chinese government told the NBA it wanted Morey fired.

"Obviously, we made clear that we were being asked to fire him by the Chinese government, by the parties we dealt with, government and business," Silver said. "We said, 'There's no chance that's happening. There's no chance we'll even discipline him.'"

But Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang rebutted by saying, "the Chinese government never posed this requirement." Geng said last week that the NBA "knows better than anyone else" how to go about repairing the relationship with the Chinese, though he did not offer specifics.

How can anyone argue against this bit of common sense?

When China says we should worry about our own human rights, they make a fair point. Trust me, you don't want to watch this. 4 dudes with automatic weapons committing legal murder because they aren't brave enough just to approach a human being and have a talk.

China is reportedly sending men to sleep in the same beds as Uighur Muslim women while their husbands are in prison camps

So China is sending replacement men to sleep with muslim women while their husbands are in prison. Yet we don't understand china's politics.

Feds raid NY tech firm suspected of selling Chinese equipment to the U.S. military

Federal agents early Thursday raided a New York tech firm suspected of selling Chinese-made equipment to the U.S. military that it allegedly claimed had been manufactured in the U.S.

The alleged fraud is raising security concerns about materials that wound up being used by the U.S. Navy and other military branches.

Federal agents were seen executing a search warrant at the headquarters of Aventura Technologies headquartered in Long Island about 9 a.m.

Earlier in the day, six current and former executives and employees were arrested, according to NBC New York. They are expected to appear in federal court in Brooklyn Thursday afternoon.

Holy ****.

Uhhhh

Omg.

It is kind of funny that Americans (and people on VN) who detest our own protesters and rioters seem totally cool with Hong Kong rioters (until now, I suppose).

‘Biggest Mistake of the Century’ — Britain’s Hong Kong Handover 25 Years Ago to Beijing Marked the ‘Beginning of the End’

Marking the “beginning of the end”, 25 years ago Britain’s Union Jack flag was lowered at the Government House in Central Hong Kong for the final time, replaced with the yellow and red of the Chinese Communist regime in Beijing.

While British Hong Kong once served as a place of refuge for those fleeing communism and repression of mainland China, today, many of the pro-democracy campaigners, who rose to prominence in the Umbrella movement of 2014-15 and the protests against the imposition of Beijing’s so-called national security law in 2019-20 have either fled the city or are in jail.

One such activist, Finn Lau, the founder of Stand with Hong Kong and Hong Kong Liberty, who fled his hometown to the UK after being arrested for participating in a protest on New Year’s Day in 2020, told Breitbart London that the Hong Kong Handover was one of the “biggest mistakes of the century”.

“It handed over millions of people to a dictatorship and marked the beginning of the end,” Lau said. “It is also one of the tragic legacy of Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State, who underpinned the so-called ‘Engagement Policy‘ to appease the Chinese Communist Party since 1970s. Without his overwhelming influence upon Thatcher on Hong Kong issues in the early 1980s, the world would be different now,” Lau claimed.
