Out of USA's Manipulation Free to speak ā My last visit was October of 2019, that was my 3rd visit for the year. Chinaās growth is remarkable, seriously impressive! The people for the most part are wonderful! And every single trip I take I am humbled when I return, America isnāt perfect, we know this. But... this has nothing to do with Chinaās aggression against Hong Kong. Absolutely nothing. You say Iām brainwashed, but I disagree, Iām concerned for the people there! China treats its citizens in many ways like property, meaning without respect. I get that phenomenal growth happens at a cost, but people matter! The income disparity is shocking, and yes I get the hypocrisy in that statement, we get our components manufactured there because of the low wages, yet I take issue with the common persons low wages. The worlds not perfect, no nation is perfect, all we can hope for is to be better each day, to try and strive towards a greater good. China is endangering EVERYTHING they have achieved because the most petty and stupid things! Treaty was active through 2046, HONOR IT. Donāt like what Journalists say, donāt imprison them, LISTEN TO THEM! Argue with them, understand that like in every aspect of civilization the cockroach theory applies. Thatās the see one, ten thousand exist statistic. Have a dozen customer complaints, assume you have an issue affecting 120k people. Have a dozen journalists saying the CCP is meddling in Japan and it isnāt right? LOOK INTO IT! ASK WHY! Journalists are influencers, they like the cockroach theory (actually documented fact) are a voice of hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions. China locking up journalists enraged the people of Hong Kong, THAT caused protests and then chinas responses caused riots. No, Iām not saying that the violence was justified or right. Iām saying Chinaās strong armed tactics made the situation ten times worse. Follow that logic out... escalating efforts on both sides accomplishes what exactly? Civil war? UN intervention? Companies the world over redirecting their sources to anywhere but China? Hello? How is this good for anyone? The government goofed, big time! The CCP erred in its actions and response. Hong Kong citizens are CHINESE CITIZENS! Treat them like it!
Seriously, I donāt know who you are, or why youāre spinning all of this propaganda to make China look good and the Hong Kong people out to be bad... NO ONE IS BELIEVING IT. China has opened up a can of worms, incorporated many western economical changes, created jobs like crazy, changed the surface of the nation like night and day over decades and it is still growing like crazy. Why is China, a world superpower so threatened by Hong Kong? Why canāt China be mature enough to say āWe will honor the treaty, and work towards a peaceful reintegration of Hong Kong in 25 years, and we will promise to keep the citizens of Hong Kong, Chinese citizens needs and freedoms they have become accustomed to as we transition.ā Riots stop, protests stop, release the jailed journalists, and yes... keep the people who damaged city or government property in jail for a FAIR amount of time.
What China doesnāt seem to comprehend is that people matter, and China has some wonderful people! The CCP rules at the peopleās consent, not their own. Want to keep China strong and growing? Recognize the rights of Hong Kongās people, and honor them as they have changed living in a pseudo democratic environment. That change isnāt bad or good, itās just change. The only constant is change, can China change and adapt to the changing factors in their nation? At this point I doubt it. All we see is an angry China exercising its muscle and trying to dominate their own people. The same dominance China is asserting over Japan, and other areas. Why? To what end? All youāre doing is showing the world China is seriously flawed, trouble is brewing, and every nation in the world knows they need to make plans about to WHAT to do if relations with China go south. Because an unstable China destabilizes the world. If you think the worlds nations, such as the USA canāt find alternatives to Chinese products, you might want to rethink your position. It wonāt be easy but the balls already started rolling, we are considering our options, other nations are placing bids, and we are inking contracts one at a time. Itās nothing āagainst Chinaā as you no doubt assume, its business. We canāt be held hostage by an unstable CCP that just happens to control a large percentage of our product lines, we are looking BECAUSE of Chinaās actions in Hong Kong, because of what we see as an unstable Chinese business environment, because our two nations (thanks to Trump) seem to be at odds. And China... holy cow. They are orchestrating the entire concert of events daring the world to challenge them. Are you sure you wish to go there? Over Hong Kong? To risk your progress inertia? What happens when what are now cities of skyscrapers become angry hungry unemployed workers? Itās like the Chinese leaders are operating with blinders on, ignoring the future implications of their actions?
