AFP: 'We're next': Hong Kong security law sends chills through Taiwan
The imposition of a sweeping national security law on Hong Kong has sent chills through Taiwan, deepening fears that Beijing will focus next on seizing the democratic self-ruled island.
China and Taiwan split in 1949 after nationalist forces lost a civil war to Mao Zedong's communists, fleeing to the island which Beijing has since vowed to seize one day, by force if necessary.
"The law makes me dislike China even more," 18-year-old student Sylvia Chang told AFP, walking through National Taiwan University in Taipei.
"They had promised 50 years unchanged for Hong Kong but they are getting all the more heavy-handed... I am worried Hong Kong today could be Taiwan tomorrow."

WNU Editor: The people in Taiwan now know that China's promise to them that they could have the "One Country, Two Systems" model that governs Hong Kong is not a promise that they will keep.

For years observers have suspected that China's economy is built on a myth, forged data and theft, here the summary:
1. The latest scandal was TONS of gold, worth BILLIONS(!) of USD, faked by the Chinese government, shaking the gold market
2. Before, we knew of many Chinese companies, listed in mainland China, Hong Kong, but even on international markets to have forged their income data by the hundreds of millions (in the small cases) and billions in the larger ones
3. We all know that China has inflated their economic growth data, including GDP data by up to 30%. (see the satellite imagery light analysis report posted on this blog years back). That's TRILLIONS of faked GDP income, and TRILLIONS borrowed against it.. and the aggregates on top. We are talking the largest theft and fraud in human history
4. ON TOP we know that the Chinese have stolen trillions(!) over the last 2 decades in intellectual property rights, patents, copyrights and trademarks. All these faked products, stolen designs and ideas. When will we get back our money?
5. The housing market was build on the phantasy "if you build it, they come" -- ENTIRE CITIES in China are empty waste lands by now, built on this phantasy of a Chinese millenium. The housing market is a massive multi Trillion bubble so close to busting that the Chinese governement as of last year had to nearly put in 1 trillion to just keep it afloat. By printing money. Their currency is worthless.
Knowing all of this, and many more things, I suggest that the Chinese economy and empire was built on theft, extortion and lies.
Billions were sent to American "news" outlets, namely the New York Times, the Washington Post (owned by Amazon which made billions of its shadowy deals with China), CNN, and MSNBC. To create this narrative of a giant so big you should better learn Chinese.
Now with the trade war heating up the Chinese publicly had to postpone their 2025 data and were embarrased to do so. Why? Because they couldn't reach their own goals.
Now with Phase 1 of the trade deal coming into effect and China having to pay a few hundred billion, suddenly a disease befalls the entire World, benefiting China which sells us PPE and has a protective clause in the contract, excepmting them from having to own up to their promises (which are worth shit if you know any Chinese).
In short: China is broke, has been broke and has been lying to the World for years.
China engaged in a "FAIL FORWARD" strategy. It is like modern monetary easing strategies, with a twist:
Instead of ever having to pay your debt, or ever being embarassed that you lived a pipe dream and lied to the entire World, you RUIN THE ENTIRE WORLD with you.
I compare it to the equivalent of losing a game of Monopoly and then instead of admitting defeat, and paying the banks, you flip over the game and cry foul, or cry racism. This is exactly what happened.
Your income, my income, your neighbours income all gone.
Your elderly poisoned, gasping for air while China tries to sell you PPE they bought up ahead of the pandemic, and then INSULTING you when the PPE was faulty.

Xi, who made himself EMPEROR FOR LIFE against the will and against the dignity of any man or woman or Earth, has sworn in the Chinese army to himself personally, just like Hitler - this was about 3 years ago.
Xi told the army in that ceremony not to fear death.
Xi knew what was coming. He knew he couldn't deliver on this myth of a Chinese century or millenium. Just like Hitler promised a German millenium build on lies and theft, so did China's Xi.
Xi also - just like Hitler - establised a Gestapo like monitoring system, a social credit system so that no one dares to speak out. Every Chinese I know is silent on this theft, murder, extortion practices of the Chinese governement.
If you don't speak out now and try to save the honor of your country, you will end just like Germany. Worse yet, the entire World might.
Xi needs to come clean, the CCP needs to come clean
CCC! Come Clean, China!
It is not too late.
But to coexist, there must be mutual respect and you must follow international laws. We cannot have two systems in which every law on Earth can be broken by you, but we must follow.
What about the concentration camps in China? Muslims being intimidated and harassed. Christian Churches torn down. JUST LIKE HITLER DID!
Wake up, World.
we can still avoid WW3
Anonymous 1 and 2: you said all of that very well. Can't add anything better.
