Liu said that, although China wanted friendly relations with Britain, there might be many consequences if Britain treated Beijing as an enemy or with suspicion.

 

“We want to be your friend. We want to be your partner. But if you want to make China a hostile country, you will have to bear the consequences,” he said.

Threats from the mother country !!!!

Time to choose democracy, free speech and human rights over oppression and control, #standwithhongkong

China knows no other than oppressive ways, not too unlike another government who appear to be modeling themselves on this kind of action....!!!!

On December 19, 1984, after years of negotiations, British and Chinese leaders signed a formal pact approving the 1997 turnover of the colony in exchange for the formulation of a “one country, two systems” policy by China’s communist government. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher called the agreement “a landmark in the life of the territory, in the course of Anglo-Chinese relations, and in the history of international diplomacy.” Hu Yaobang, the Chinese Communist Party’s secretary-general, called the signing “a red-letter day, an occasion of great joy” for China’s one billion people.

 

At midnight on July 1, 1997, Hong Kong was peaceably handed over to China in a ceremony attended by numerous international dignitaries, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Prince Charles, Chinese President Jiang Zemin.

Rebuke is mild. England forgets it’s no longer that world power it was .

we may not agree with China or pretend to look down on them, but I look up to them , if for anything, How they crawled from the ground up to becoming the World’s no 2 power and threatening the waning power of the no 1 , now led by a lying clown . Within 50 years.

Acknowledging the PRC's power is not the same thing as accepting all it does as right.

The world is finally uniting against China’s bully tactics https://nypost.com/2020/07/04/the-world-is-finally-uniting-against-chinas-bully-tactics/

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping has apparently decided that now is the time to assert dominance over an economically prostrate post-pandemic world. But instead of just rolling over, a growing number of nations are fighting back.

 

Yeah, only the headline of this article doesn't really relate to the content. What it details are separate instances of the PRC acting badly and this or that country reacting (to various degrees). There is little by way of international unity or organization to these responses. More like wishful thinking.

 

Not surprising given the author.

         Nothing to do with the USA, it's all about China. The world is slowly waking up to China's plans.

Nothing to do with China. It's USA paranoia, and they are exerting pressure on just about anyone to retain 'top dog' status.

China must reconsider Hong Kong security law, 27 countries tell United Nations 

 

Yeah, 27 out of how many? And what actual power does the motion carry or represents? That gap between what we wish for and what is.

The topic is about the PRC. And the UK. The only one trying to spin it as a USA thing is you - and without supporting it with anything much.

The UK is doing what it's told by the USA.

 

The more trouble that can be stirred up in China the better for the western imperialists.

 

The UK should butt out. China is China.

Its unity and helps, the alternative is to bow down to communism and accept what China is doing is ok, thats not an option that democratic countries or people should even consider should they?

 

You can keep saying that, doesn't make it into any coherent or efficient construct/effort. I'm not against any such initiatives, I'm just saying that so far it's mostly futile gestures or isolated incidents of resistance. Also I don't think the PRC is very much "communist" these days, authoritarian yes.
