As said elsewhere by DIY:

Here is your next crises, China is gonna move on Hong Kong and wipe out their democracy there, Hong Kong is a major global financial hub because of the legal system used there, a left over from the British. Xi sees his chance with a weak American president and the country on its knees because of his incompetent response the covid -19, to take over Hong Kong militarily. We have a lot of Chinese Canadians who were hedging their bets with properties in Canada, but air travel is banned and they can't get out. Canada should help them, Hong Kong has one of the lowest infection rates in the world, so charter flights back should be no problem along with isolation protocols.

China is gonna take over Hong Kong soon and if it embarasses Trump enough, there could be trouble, America is very vulnerable and not ready to take on China right now, not with Trump. America owes trillions to China and a lot of PPE comes from there as do the feed stocks and chemicals for most drugs, including those that might be used to treat covid-19. China has got America over a barrel and Uncle Sam is in a bad strategic and tactical situation with China thanks to Donald. Donald can't play checkers, much less chess and these guys play go.

Donald needs a distraction too and a war is a good one, Donald is probably looking for one with Iran, China is too strong and Donald is a bully who picks on the weak.
I hope Trump reacts, rejects and places sanctions on China for their violation of treaties regarding Hong Kong's independence through 2047.

I've never respected Trump's trade war with China but I agree that we should never have opened up trade with the China's repressive, corrupt government. It's time to take action against China's suffocating, genocidal and repressive rule by corrupt oligarchy. If Trump enacted sanctions against China, I'd support it.

I blame Nixon, too.


and Reagan.


and both Bushes!


:mrgreen:
Clinton negotiated the trade pact. That's one major point against him.

China's long game isn't about trade or capitalism. We should not have agreed to open trade with the perpetrators of the Tienanmen Square massacre,

Because DIY can't help but post before he reads,

I figure it will deserve a thread soon, it could be a hot topic, China going after HK will be very bad and will put heat on Trump. If donald has a problem he always seems to make the wrong choice. America doesn't need this shit at this particular moment and especially with this POTUS, the pandemic is enough for now.

Trump says U.S. to take action on China over Hong Kong this week
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is preparing to take action against China this week over its effort to impose national security laws on Hong Kong, but did not give details.

Asked if he was going to impose sanctions on China over its actions in Hong Kong, Trump told reporters at the White House: “We’re doing something now. I think you’ll find it very interesting. But I won’t be talking about it today.”

“It’s something you’re going to be hearing about ... before the end of the week - very powerfully I think,” Trump said in response to a second question.

This thread's premise actually makes sense, although it could be expanded to say,
"Overlords exploit crisis due to epidemic to initiate their move on world population's independence".

Looks like @abandonconflict might be able to find a job with Uncle Sam to tide him over, I figure a vet with diving skills and a degree could land a job with the mother corp running this show or the USN. Scubic ain't too far away.
