Guest November 13, 2019 1. It's not 'China' - it's HK police (potentially UK's fault?) 2. No one has died yet. Oh wait, they have ... but this was an argument before believe it or not. Bring out the medals, the police haven't killed anyone yet. 3. What would happen if all this was in USA? 4. If the USA and UK stopped funding it it would be over by now. 5. Any photos or footage are faked. ETC. Yawn ... Enjoy 🤣 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoMack + 549 JM November 17, 2019 Let's not forget to take a look at the China "One Belt, One Road" policy and it is China's policy to dominate the world, both economically, militarily, and use the full and lethal suppression of the rights of the people. You have to wonder why China continues to let the people of Hong Kong revolt. Hong Kong is demanding its freedom from China as China promised in the 1997 Agreement with Great Britain - one country, two systems. Hong Kong is the gateway in trade and distribution for China since it is a free market without restraint. Now, China can't keep its hands off Hong Kong as promised. I believe China never expected millions of people in Hong Kong to protest as it slowly started to erode the rights of the people. China needs Hong Kong for its proposed Central Bank so when the Xi - OBOR policy is fully implemented in Asia, Africa, the EU, South America and India, it believes it must control Hong Kong for the Yuan to be tagged by countries instead of the dollar. China has no moral compass in Xi's insatiable desire to dominate. It has no barriers on the amounts of money loaned to poorer countries for infrastructure which China knows cannot be repaid. The infrastructure of roads, bridges, ports and shipping lanes are then controlled by China. Just this week, the new President of Brazil welcomed Xi into his country. Here in the U.S., we cannot even get a trade agreement with Mexico and Canada approved. The House is consumed with impeaching the President of the United States while China buys its way into the countries which border our own. I always worried during the Democrats continuing efforts to destroy the President, if they realize what's happening around them. The power they seek may be our undoing as a nation unable to recognize what's really happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So China's desire to dominate is fueled by other countries who choose to borrow, which is an interesting idea and obviously a lot smarter than bombing the crap out of them to secure a regime change so that they can instead dominate their assets, 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Kirkman + 8,860 December 2, 2019 On 10/19/2019 at 10:58 PM, Tom Kirkman said: Thread title is: China's Blueprint For Global Power Watch the 2 minute video of some unemployed guy in China arrested for criticizing the police online (video has subtitles). The previous night he apparently got drunk and had complained about the police in an online chat group. Quick action was taken by the police to arrest and interrogate him for his crime of complaining online about the police the night before. The restrainment chair for the prisoner is ... medieval. https://mobile.twitter.com/IntyPython/status/1200466904734785536 Quashing all dissent is an integral part of China's Blueprint for Global Power. That's why no Hollywood movie will currently criticize China. Do you perhaps now better understand why I vocally encourage dissent and alternate viewpoints from Mainstream Media? This video is pretty scary. Righthink in action by the authorities. Hong Kong youth understand the value of the freedom to dissent; some here on this forum, not so much.

People here are rather keen to criticize China and not turn the mirror around to themselves from what I've noted sir? To clarify I am not a fan of many Chinese practices as noted elsewhere and I am half Japanese, so believe me, my nation has a history shall we say with China. However your comment above surely proves to you that money, to certain Americans, trumps all morals or ethics? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindly allow me to make a slightly significant clarification to your observation ... "Money, to certain people, trumps all morals and ethics." ^ This unethical greed is not specific just to certain Americans, but is found everywhere around the world. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papillon + 485 December 2, 2019 (edited) A fair point sir, I mentioned Americans specifically as it was yourself that made reference to Hollywood. I trust this clarifies. It was not intended as an exclusivity to a certain nation and indeed I would agree greed is almost a virus among us all. Respectfully, Papillon.
