Tiananmen Square is a template for how China deals with people.

New thoughts, new blog.

What we are witnessing on the streets of Hong Kong is what everyone feared will happen.  The Central Committee of the Peoples Republic of China find Hong Kong's openness and freedoms a thorn in their side.

Am I the only one that is alarmed that the Chinese (especially under the new Chairman Xi) have overstepped the agreements in the Joint Declaration signed in 1984 between China and the UK whereby they have 50 years in which to give the city of Hong Kong breathing space and the autonomy to continue its open, democratic and Capitalist systems.

It is has only been 22 years and already they are meddling in Hong Kong's affairs with a very heavy hand. What happened to One Country, Two Systems?? The Central Committee and the Politburo are forcing Hong Kongers to comply or die.

And why the hell is the Foreign Office so quiet on this matter?? Why is the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Raab MP not calling out the Chinese government for their repressive wrong doings?

It goes back to an old Chinese proverb that says something about not rocking the boat. Its all about money.
