"Mao did not care..what happened after his death...he said..to his inner circle about the future, when he knew he was dying..there would be 'upheaval'..'blood rains & wind smelling of blood'. Mao, The Unknown Story, Chang&Halliday. Rm. 101 became "202" the room in which Mao died)

Any state with nuclear weapons gets a free pass on human rights. No one is going to invade you to stop atrocities. Perhaps the world should establish a social credit system for nations and downgrade a nation’s access to world bodies accordingly.

An excellent article. If only there was a party in this country willing to stand up to Putin and Xi.

Hear hear

China's spokesman Geng Shuang said Beijing had made “stern representations” to Britain over the comments, and rightly accused Hunt of still harbouring a “colonial illusion”.

Good piece. Where is the UK leadership of @Huawei in all this? No comment??? Or @UKLabour or for that matter @foreignoffice ? Nothing from @LordJohnBrowne ? The silence is eerie, soundtracking some sad days to come.... @joshuawongcf

Thank you for your support to hk

Excellent article! You have a unique angle. #Goliath looked invincible but #David triumphed. An old cliche: Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World. The future of the world depends on what the #world does to #HongKong now.

Not a single journalist asked Trump about HK at his G20 press conference, shocking really

no one wants to be accused of xenophobia or colonialism so China gets a free pass.
