1016: Hong Kongers must sign the loyalty oath or face ruin. @Michael_Yon, @GordonGChang,
Image:1908. Peddu St., Hong Kong Michael Yon: @Michael_Yon, war correspondent; and Gordon Chang, @GordonGChang, Daily Beast, in re: 180,000 Hong Kong civil servants have four weeks to pledge allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party. Over 100,000 have done so. CCP is going after not only the youth but also their parents. If anyone fails to pledge, the CCP can grab them move them in to a Mainland court. Hong Kong courage is extremely high, but they’re pragmatic people and now pressed against a wall. The penalty is a lifetime ruined. Today, it’s not too difficult to leave the city, although Mainland can lock the place down if it wants to. This is a forest fire engulfing Hong Kong. The best thing we can do is undermine the CCP’s power base. In January 2022, Hong Kong will look like the rest of the Mainland. There’s nothing Beijing won't do. They kidnap people out of Thailand and elsewhere. Message to Hong Kongers: if you can get out, we’ll do all we can to help you get in to the US. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hongkong-security/hong-kong-civil-servants-given-four-weeks-to-pledge-loyalty-to-the-government-idUSKBN29K1HY
