Commentary: Pompeo's hypocritical face on Hong Kong

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, it seems, has been fathoming new depths of disinformation and effrontery in badmouthing Beijing and its Hong Kong policy these days.

In a Nov. 15 speech at the Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy, the top U.S. diplomat once again blasted China over Hong Kong, saying that the Communist Party of China is "inconsistent" with what it has promised regarding the policy of "one country, two systems."

For the record, since Hong Kong's return to China 22 years ago, China's central government has been faithfully implementing the "one country, two systems" policy in strict accordance with the constitution and the Basic Law.

Since this June, Beijing has been consistent with its sturdy support to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) government and local police force to end violence and restore order in the city.

Yet certain U.S. politicians like Pompeo have refused to acknowledge that fact.

As a matter of fact, the kind of "one country, two systems" they want the Chinese government to be consistent with is to deny Beijing's due constitutional rights and sovereign responsibilities over part of its own territory. In their mind, Hong Kong's autonomy and Beijing's legitimate jurisdiction are mutually exclusive.

That is deliberate distortion. The policy endows Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy, but that autonomy only happens within the framework of one country. Any attempt to erode that principle will not be allowed.

Also in his remarks, Pompeo talked about his government's intention to encourage the Hong Kong issue to be resolved in a "nonviolent" way.

If Washington is truly interested in ending violence in Hong Kong, it had better stop acting as the talisman of those Hong Kong separatists and rioters who have kept trashing the rule of law and disrupting social order with their violent acts.

Since June, violent protesters in Hong Kong have vandalized shops, attacked police officers, blocked roads, torched mass transit railway stations, turned universities into strongholds, forced classes to be suspended, and committed such horrendous crimes as stabbing and burning people who disagree with them.

Instead of encouraging those rioters to use nonviolent means, some U.S. politicians like Pompeo have chosen to add fuel to the fire. They met Joshua Wong Chi-fung and other like-minded separatists, have been pushing the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, and are going to greater and greater lengths in their rumor-mongering campaign on the Hong Kong issue.

Some sanctimonious U.S. lawmakers including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi even showed sympathy for the fanatic rioters and called their atrocities "a beautiful sight to behold," while others defamed Hong Kong police and judicial bodies who have been strictly enforcing the law. Their practices of hypocrisy and double standard are too obvious to miss.

Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and brook no interference from any foreign forces. And Beijing will continue to live up to its commitment to "one country, two systems."

For those Pompeos and Pelosis, their most constructive contribution to returning peace and stability to Hong Kong can only be ending China-smearing and getting their hands off China's domestic affairs.

Imagine if the US military treated Taliban insurgents with the same kind of restraint the HKPF treat these terrorists!

here's what matters:
China has the ‘resolution and power’ to end Hong Kong unrest amid protests, says ambassador to Britain Liu Xiaoming
  • Diplomat says central government will not ‘sit on its hands and watch’ if the situation deteriorates when asked if PLA could be deployed in city
  • Liu blames protesters for unleashing ‘black terror’ and restates government’s backing for city’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam

Looks like China should declare any individual or group or company assisting, selling, financing any products to these rioters/terrorists as associated with terrorism. Give them the ability to freeze financial assets in china and ask interpol for arrest if outside. If any country doesn't agree, then put the terrorist supporter hat on them and get some global naming and shaming.

Just empty words unless you got the big stick to back them up. Otherwise you just end up looking weak only able to protest without being able to take punitive action.

That’s the dilemma Beijing faces.

I am sure Chinese state security and counter intelligence would have plenty of evidence of direct US involvement in the HK riots at a fundamental level.

Publicising such evidence might embarrass the US a little, but what would that achieve?

Most of the brainwashed sheeple in the west would automatically chalk it up as fake news, and anyone inclined would give such news an objective look would probably not be surprised that the US organised the whole thing to start with. And have you see Trump? The man is embarrassment proof.

OTOH, having all these evidence out in the open would massively rile up the Chinese public, who’s anger could easily turn against Beijing if the government is seen as not being able to do anything about such blatant violations of Chinese sovereignty.

These people are the same type as FLG and probably has a significant portion that is FLG.

How did we deal with FLG? Censorship?

It doesn't matter who wins at the elections. HK's fate is sealed, and a change of politicians won't make a whit of difference.
It's my understanding that China can step into the HK mess only if requested to by the govt of HK.I cant see such a request coming from a Pan Democracy coalition govt.
