THEY FEEL SAFE BECAUSE SO MUCH OF OUR GOVERNMENT, MEDIA, AND ACADEMIA ARE ON THEIR PAYROLL: US and allies should warn China over Hong Kong kidnap threats. “Alongside his claim that communist China is a democracy, one of Xi Jinping’s more absurd assertions is that Beijing never interferes in the internal affairs of other nations. This is a patent falsity evinced by China’s expansive intellectual property theft, territorial imperialism, and election interference. Another example of China’s interference in the affairs of other nations is its claimed right to apply extraterritorial justice against political activists living abroad. On Thursday, the Beijing-directed Hong Kong police force issued arrest warrants for five more people living in the United States and the United Kingdom. They are accused of breaching China’s national security law for Hong Kong, which restricts criticism of the Communist Party and efforts to advocate democracy.”
