981: Beijing agitprop says tyranny is more efficient. @Michael_Yon, @GordonGChang,
Image: Sic semper tyrannis - 22th Regt. U.S. Colored Troops Michael Yon: @Michael_Yon, war correspondent;andGordon Chang, @GordonGChang, Daily Beast, in re: Currently in Washington, D.C.; in July, Hong Kong resistance observed the occupation of Legco. On Jan 6 saw people entering the Capitol. The Chinese CCP is making much of that event; Beijing is trying to draw equivalence. Tarring Pelosi, saying she called the breaking-in to Legco “a beautiful sight,” which she did not. Zimbabwe is mocking the US. Michael has seen both break-ins: The people who did both seemed to feel they were fighting against tyranny; in HK, can be hauled of like Uyghurs or Tibetans. Beijing agitprop, saying, “This is a model of government that doesn't work” How do we refute that? In general, in the short term, need to eliminate the points of contact—eliminate trade, et al., which seems like a desperate move but we're under serious [attack] from Beijing right now. I agree with Gordon that the US needs to cut all ties with the CCP. The young people in HK: many have already left, some are staying, which much be extremely stressful. They need to be self-protective; make sure they’re well and safe.” https://time.com/5928446/china-reaction-capitol-hong-kong-legco/
