One more proof China just doesn't care about the rest of the world. This is bad for Hong Kong but it must tell us what will be next.

Western news will never show the other side of these so called peaceful protesters (rioters). Using umbrellas to cover up the beatings.

Any westerner who is foolish enough to remain or invest in Hong Kong - or China overall - is either stupid, crazy or part of the problem.

Good point @Russin. We should start petitions. Also stop all Chinese visas for a while. Enough with the spying, J

War is inevitable as it always has and will be. Do we wait for Chinese military dominance before drafting our sons and daughters?
