To be honest, China is in the middle of Trade War. HK is a political pawn of some politicians for the further negotiation. It’s all about the money. The US politicians don’t even care about their famers or innocents in the gunshots, how come they give a shit about HK’s Democracy?

Stick to reporting news and leave the opinions out.

deray This is like that satirical news segment from The Onion where a gas explosion killed several people, but instead of mourning the people, they mourned the gas itself!

The people of Hong Kong have NO 2nd amendment protections to keep them safe from Communist 🇨🇳 China or its tanks

A whole article and not one mention of the REASON people are protesting? Of what they are fighting to change in their society?
