找你美国爹去吧 To Jimmy Lai
That 's funny!
How much you can pay?
Here’s what I think is happening; China knows the U.S. supports HK’s freedoms. China is Mad. They use HK as a hostage to pressure the U.S. leadership. But I don’t know what to do about this.
realDonaldTrump Hong Kong is China, China is Hong Kong. Respect borders, even though I do not agree with their style of governance. The law is the law. If Mexico reclaimed New Mexico or parts of Texas with aid of PRC, what would you do?
Because his business empire must be at stake and he would have decided to go rogue against his own Govt.
Jimmy Lai used his media company Apple Daily to conspire unethical disinformation to masses in hkg causing all these rioting and now he wants trump to help him make it more dirty.

Correction to that article - CIA plant and tycoon, Jimmy Lai.

Guy should appear at court soon.
Sorry sir! Trump has to kiss Xi’s ass to keep propping his bogus stock market rally
10万的死亡,这是多少人命啊,你们确定他有能力么?
