China Defends Virtual Life Sentence for Anti-Communist Hero Jimmy Lai: ‘Shameless Pawn’
China defended the sentencing of Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai, a Christian and staunch anti-communist, to 20 years in prison.

China defended the sentencing of Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai, a Christian and staunch anti-communist, to 20 years in prison.

Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Qin Gang, said in an interview published by regime media on Friday that Beijing would like to impose the repressive “One Country, Two Systems” policy currently in effect in Hong Kong on the nation of Taiwan. It emphasized the “two systems” aspect of the policy is “subordinate to” the one country.

Speaking at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken described Taiwan as a “country that can contribute to the world, not just its own people.”

China began its largest annual political meeting Thursday, an event known as the “Two Sessions” that assembles some 5,000 members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) elite to work out an agenda for the coming year.

Former Conservative Party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said that the UK should take as many Hong Kong refugees as it can, describing the “authoritarian overreach” of the draconian national security law implemented by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a Tiananmen Square moment for the free world.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has “taken the world to the brink of a new Cold War” with Hong Kong serving as the new frontline in the fight between “freedom and autocracy”, the founder and chairman of Hong Kong Watch told Breitbart London.

Hong Kong activists defied orders from the police and marched on Tuesday to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the protest movement.

The National People’s Congress (NPC), the rubber-stamp legislature of the Chinese Communist Party, received a draft copy on Friday of the security law Beijing is planning to impose on Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong stock market was rocked by a massive sell-off on Friday after the Chinese Communist government in Beijing declared its intention to bypass the Hong Kong legislature and impose a draconian security law to shut down the protest movement. That single act effectively ended the island’s limited autonomy in the eyes of many residents and concerned international observers.

The Chinese Communist Party’s sham legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), is reportedly preparing to bypass the Hong Kong legislature (which is looking more than a little shamtastic these days itself) and impose a set of national security laws that could crush the Hong Kong protest movement and hollow out what remains of the island’s limited autonomy.

China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office (HKMAO), the top Chinese Communist Party (CCP) political office in Hong Kong, on Wednesday condemned pro-democracy demonstrators as a “political virus” that “must be eliminated” before Hong Kong can return to prosperity.

A true Person of the Year award, not one dished out for political propaganda purposes, should acknowledge the tremendous influence of the Hong Kong protesters.

Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, who spent the week lavishing praise and attention on Macau to send a message to a certain other island that used to be a foreign colonial possession, used a speech commemorating 20 years of Chinese control over Macau to warn that Beijing will not accept interference by “external forces” in the Hong Kong crisis.

Taiwan has been strongly supportive of the Hong Kong protest movement, and Hong Kongers appear to be returning the favor with surging support for Taiwanese independence.

The People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, called the current “One Country, Two Systems” policy imposed on Hong Kong “the best way to achieve national reunification” on Tuesday, revealing Beijing’s ultimate goal of imposing itself on both Hong Kong and Taiwan.
