Hong Kong - Another "Colour Revolution"?

Grist for US and Chrystia Freeland's Pot vs Kettle Mill?

Globe&Mail: ‘A warning’: China’s central television takes direct aim at Canadian foreign minister
  • “Already banned from travel to Russia, now Ms. Freeland may find that she will be denied a visa to enter China as well,” Prof. Burton said. “China may have identified her as the block to the government sending [former prime minister] Jean Chrétien and [Canadian businessman] Andre Desmarais as special envoys.”
  • Both men are considered long friends of China’s ruling Communist Party, and have been suggested as intermediaries to thaw the freeze that has developed between Canada and China following the arrest in Vancouver of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, and the subsequent arrest in China of two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

In my opinion, Christya Freeland is a scary hawk, always with a beady eye on America's traditional erstwhile "enemies".  Even more insidious, she was the chief organizer of the Venezuela coup; need one say more?  Here's an article that does say more:

Off-Guardian: Chrystia Freeland Is More Dangerous Than Tony Blair

Possibly because they both have an unhealthy admiration for the rich and influential, much like movie star fans on Oscar night.

I've written extensively about her in the past, but the main theme running through all of her ill-considered bellicosity is the fact that she worships, and is guided by, George Soros and his support of protests in countries that the US sees as opposition to its own hegemony or useful to it.

What's happening in Hong Kong is a re-run of what's been going on since the so-called Arab Spring and the so-called "colour revolutions".  Note the black and white theme in the photo above of the Hong Kong protesters.  These rise-ups always extensively involve youth and therefore tend to reach their peak - and become more violent - when the kids are on summer break.

Then the US and Canadian media tsk-tsk all over the place about the police violence as if nothing of that sort has ever occurred on US or Canadian soil.  But all we Canucks have to do is go back to 2010 and the G20 protests that took place in Toronto:

TorontoGuardian: G20 Toronto Seven Years Later the Trauma Remains: Part 1 of 3
  • ... when the smoke cleared, thousands had suffered arrest, brutality, and trauma at the hands of the people tasked with protecting them. To this day, only a single officer has even been charged – and his case remains under appeal.

Wikipedia has a special in-depth report on the current situation re the Hong Kong protests:
  • The 2019 Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protests are a series of demonstrations in Hong Kong against an extradition bill proposed by the government of Hong Kong. If enacted, the bill would allow local authorities to detain and extradite people who are wanted in territories that Hong Kong does not have extradition agreements with, including mainland China and Taiwan. Some fear the bill would place Hong Kongers and visitors under mainland Chinese jurisdiction, undermining the autonomy of the region and citizens' rights.

The "some" who fear are most likely those who benefit most from China's inability to control certain questionable business dealings. After all, those Canadians Freeland worries about are not in Hong Kong for a vacation; they are there because of ongoing financial interests. "Follow the money" is always good advice in any serious political conflict.

Workers World: Follow the money behind Hong Kong protests 

Scout Asia: Hong Kong's democracy: follow the money

SCMP: Dubai to Hong Kong, follow the money (laundering)

Make what you will of the above three analyses; I personally don't see this conflict as any different from the G20 crackdown in Toronto, nor of Pierre Trudeau's heavy-handed military response to the FLQ crisis.

For whatever it might be worth, below is a video from CGTN (China Global Television Network):
The growing conundrum of Hong Kong
  • Hurting Hong Kong's future is never a good idea as security and stability play a vital role in local social and economic development. But rioters, radical protesters and some irresponsible media are spreading misinformation and encouraging violence to undermine the rule of law and the confidence that Hong Kong has exuded in the past. As Hong Kong is seeing its slowest growth in decades, a stimulus package of 19 billion Hong Kong dollars – about 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, will be injected into the Hong Kong economy. So what lies at the heart of the Hong Kong issue? How will Hong Kong transform its economic and social structure to be more vibrant? And what can be done to address the turmoil and make the "Pearl of the Orient" shine again?
