One thing I find quite funny about this idiots tweet is that every single one of those points is wrong through simple investigation a normally educated high school Student can figure out (but since when is a U.S. student normal anyways with their inability to final Taiwan on the world map) and even more importantly, none of this is the USA’s business and they should GTFO of the South China Sea if those mooks know what’s good for them
I hate when people say "democracy was crushed in HK"
It's even more meaningless than "neo-maoism".
What democracy existed in HK? Let's forget the post-handover time period.
Number of non-white Governors: 0
Number of elected Governors: 0
Official language of the Law: English
Language of the majority: Cantonese/Chinese
Can vote in the UK: No, HKers were not citizens of the UK, just some second-class people with no rights to even live on in the UK proper
First time native Police Comissioners and Judges appointed: 1980's
So you had a typical colonial system imposed on native people, but somehow this was "democracy". Many people, especially the older generation could not understand English, yet the laws were written in a foreign language. Literally the opposite of democracy.
Debt traps are funny too.
The most famous of debt traps was actually laid by Paul Singer, an American. He literally trapped Argentina from settling debts and extended the hardships on the people of Argentina which precipitated riots and subsequent deaths. He also used the US Supreme Court to his advantage. I guess the US is correct to warn other countries about debt traps...
