Hong Kong under National Security Law; Some Pro-Democracy disband political parties

Personally, I think China will fail eventually. But it's likely to be decades, if not centuries, before it does so.

Well, you know what Keynes had to say about that.

Another reason America needs Biden in the White House. Hillary would've been even stronger on this issue.

Biden's record on China over the years is incredibly weak and naive, worse than almost any other high profile leader from either party.

I agree that Hillary would have been great on an issue like this.  RIP.

Before or after she had started her war with Russia?

China was hardly a proper democracy in the 1930s, so was "public opinion" really a relevant thing?

The reports earlier this week that HK's hospital system was "near collapse" never rang true and were contradicted by several eyewitness accounts. It is now clear why that story was planted.

You almost have to admire the cynicism.

Lol ban their kids from coming to US colleges.

Really we should be banning all Chinese citizens from entering the U.S until the Communist Party is overthrown.

The Chinese Communist Party is much like the Nazi Party in that you have to join, if you don't want to be hunted down by the secret police...so everyone's a member.

If Trump/Biden were to introduce a travel ban again, China should be on the list (and probably should be one of only like three countries on it... the other two being Russia and Venezuela.)

Wibble.

(though that could arguably be applied to the whole post really)
