Breaking: Hong Kong's Victoria Park empty for first time in 32 years on Tiananmen anniversary as police cordon off venue -- @AFP
Powerful combo picture has just hit the @AFP wire.
Shows Tiananmen anniversary vigils in Hong Kong's Victoria Park in 1990, 1999, 2004, 2011, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020 and... tonight
Just horrific. Hong Kong is my favorite city in the world, and we utterly failed them. It’s a memorial and celebration to freedom and capitalism, and now we’ve allowed them to fall in the hands of tyranny. Both Americans and Brits should be ashamed for allowing this to happen.

No, this shite was going on during Trump and Obama’s Presidencies as well. He’s partially responsible, but this goes on the heads of many people.

Yes our “leaders” allowed freedom to die in Hong Kong and it’s beyond incomprehensible.
But knowing Biden and dozens of high ranking Bureaucrats are sleeping with Chyna it’s not surprising.

Britain also failed Zimbabwe

None of you actually think we’re going to stop China from ruling this world, do you?
It all depends on Taiwan. We will let it go and that’ll be the final mail in the coffin.

It's no accident CCP dropped the hammer almost as soon as Trump was out of office.
Taiwan must be shitting bricks.
I know I wouldn't be counting on the USA under this administration.

Why in the hell did the UK hand this back?

It was impossible to defend.

The lease was expiring.

Some fricking pussies here are fine with this happening and should just allow it. You do not want to live in a world where China is the ultimate power. You simply don’t understand what you are allowing.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
The Brits failed us, they left us on our own and look who we let run the country.
Seriously, there is nothing to be done. The day the Brits annexed it, from then on the risk was there that chini would take it back.
|If the |US got involved, could be be upset if chini decided to annex California?

Given current events, they failed us as well, they should have fought harder to keep us.

The treaty said China gets Hong Kong in 100 years. Time goes by fast.
Colonizing nations can only show primitives the way. If they learn the way (like HK) they're gonna have to build defensive systems like Taiwan.
If they don't learn the way (like Africa) ya gotta let them go back to hunter/gatherer condition.
The best student was the primitive Brits. They learned a LOT from the Romans who eventually gave up on them.
The Irish didn't go to Roman school so they were a few hundred years behind the Brits.

Biden’s encouraging it, but Trump is the one who allowed the CCP to reneg on the 1997 agreement.

We should not be involved, none of our business, it is part of chini.
Cali thinks they are independent these days, would it be okay if they aligned themselves with chini and split with the US (okay dont answer that).
All those rich HKers should have stopped filling their pockets and spent a little on defense. In the words of the last Moors in Spain....dont cry like a child for something you could not defend like a man.

This was all on the way under all previous presidents since the brits left in ‘92 (ish?). Once that occurred what practically could anyone do? We’re not going to war with China over a city. We’re just not, regardless of who is president. It’s unfortunate but those folks should have been leaving since ‘92.

You sure about that? Both countries are now upping their nuclear armaments. That’s a disturbing sign.

It would require us doing what no one wants our country to do anymore...foreign aid, foreign intervention. As we pull back China fills the void. See Africa.
