If that was supposed to wound me, it was a dismal failure.

He told them it would be real hard to end tariffs if China was oppressing Hong Kong. What did your PM do?

So nothing. Thanks for admitting it

I have no interest in wounding people who don’t matter to my country. I’m just informing you that no matter how hard you follow me like I have bacon in my pocket, you will never speak from an American platform. Now go play with whoever cares what a foreigner thinks about my country.

China is still oppressing Hong Kong so clearly his threat didn’t work.

Cratic3947 · September 4, 2019, 5:30pm

So, then what will Canada do?

CanadianJudo · September 4, 2019, 5:31pm

Canada isn’t a superpower so it not relevant.

Cratic3947 · September 4, 2019, 5:43pm

So, nothing. Therefore, Trump is doing way more … TY,TY, TY!

SixFoot · September 4, 2019, 5:43pm

Canada is not relevant.

This was inevitable. I’m not surprised.

And we should stay out of it.

If anyone is at fault it’s the British.

I agree it’s the Brit’s fault, I never understood why they gave it up. I do think we should let China know if they take away their freedoms we will stop doing business with them. I just think we should stand for the principles of freedom. I know we can’t get involved militarily & I’m not saying that.

I do think we should let the Chinese government know we will arm Taiwan, Japan, & the surrounding states if they continue down their present path because we believe they will soon be threatening them all. I think we should also recognize Taiwan as a separate & sovereign state.

If there is no consequences they will continue to do worse. China is now set to become more oppressive than North Korea. They, with the help or IBM & Google are setting up an ultra mass surveillance state to monitor it’s subjects 24/7.

They are using a politically correct social credit system replete with an inescapable network of surveillance cameras keyed to facial recognition, China has morphed into a technocratic totalitarian state that has built in punishments for not keeping in line.

If you get a little low on social credits you will not be allowed to attain a ride to work, you will walk, a little lower, & you lose your job, a little lower & you have your photo distributed to the entire neighborhood & they must not even speak to you, come near you, or have any interaction with you or they will lose social credits. Enough loss on social credit you might end up in prison.

Be religious & lose credits, especially certain ones uber targeted by the state.

You will be given daily “tests” of proclamation of praise for the great leader, & China, & fail to do that you lose credits. Speak a complaining word or make a negative statement anywhere any time of the state or great leader & lose credits.

Getting the drift? It’s probably why the people of Hong Kong are so anxious about their civil liberties & the protests are continuing. They know the fate that awaits them.

I believe the road China has taken will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. That level of authoritarianism will take the spirit out of the people, destroy innovation, & eventually destroy their economy.

I also think most foreign companies in China will soon decide doing business there is just too risky. I hope I’m wrong.

Sigh - Educate yourself. The 99 year lease of the Hong Kong territories came to an end and the UK had no choice but to return it.

His country overall is pretty conservative compared to most Western European countries .I would love to have Australia’s immigration system in place here.

I used to like their women the best. As it turns out, Poland has way better.

Ever.

The fact that you can continue to respond my posts runs counter to your claim.

Whomever chooses to respond to any of my posts, it is entirely their choice.

westaussie · September 4, 2019, 8:54pm

I would recommend you research the MP of Zero.

The one mired in racist overtones and a throwback to my country’s disreputable White Australia policy of another era?
