I find the international stance one sided. Nobody reports (Just listened to the BBC version)that article 23 is enshrined in the basic law and that after 23 years hong kong still hasn't enacted it as required. Its cherry picking which bits of the basic law you are going to abide by. OK so cherry pick but report the full facts.
People seem to conveniently ignore or forget weapons of mass destruction as the justification of gw2 and the patriot act (national security?) when listening to the US pushing the democracy vs sanctions theme in HKG.
My point is nobody seems to be reporting this objectively and it’s starting to look like an orchestrated campaign for another conflict be it military or economic.
