  1. What happened to China's promise that Hong Kong would have a different system of government? It was supposed to be one country, two systems. These "national security laws" take away Hong Kong's right to administer herself. It is not US interests that are threatened by this, but the Hong Kong stock markets. If foreign investors fear Chinese intervention, they will pull out of the Hong Kong markets.

  2. Gates promised money to help fight the Covid-19 outbreak. He motive is to stop a pandemic.

  3. A Reddit thread said the protesters are carrying bags of water. If you pop a canister in water, it neutralizes it. I don't know this from my own experience, but I do know an onion can serve as an impromptu gas mask. Cut the onion in half, and breathe through several skins. The moist skins absorb the tear gas. It's smelly, but better than being blinded by the tear gas.

  4. Do you think money has the same rights that people do? It's ironic that the people of Hong Kong had more rights, more freedoms, more self determination, under the rule of the colonizers, than under the rule of other Chinese.
