Xi J P, Chinese dictator and Ruler for Life, is putting his other "little" foot down against home-grown dissent(ters). Hong Kong police conducted a raid yesterday that focused on the local media. The raid was carried out at the offices of a newspaper that supported pro-democracy Chinese opinions and actions since the new laws suppressing dissent were enacted last year amidst the pandemic. Most of the paper's editors were arrested and taken away(to jail?). Where are they now? Hmmm? One never knows about those unfortunates who are arrested in Hong Kong. They could have been whisked away to Beijing so as not to be available to legal advice and support.
These tactics of the police are now becoming the new "normal": you protest, you get arrested, tried and convicted. Go public with dissent, get arrested. Speak out on social media(what's left), get arrested. The new normal. It appears to even the casual observer that Beijing wants no dissenters who object to the whims and dreams of the Chinese Communist Regime run by a gaggle of old Reds who want nothing more but to perpetuate the role of Communism across the Asian landscape, east-to-west, north-to-south, and beyond the fringe into the South China Sea. We now have various western navies sending aircraft carrier battle groups into those waters now under pressure from Beijing as it exerts more control over the waves extending to the Phillipine Islands, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Korea. The U.S. is joining forces with these countries to counter Beijing's plan.
