Just Like The Democrats......................... Happy Memorial Day. Fighting Communists Since 1776. China is signaling they will drop the panda illusion and take a full frontal dragon approach toward Hong Kong. Chairman Xi Jinping is deploying, some say he has already deployed, the Ministry of State Security - China's leading intelligence agency - into Hong Kong to begin formal control through national security laws. . . . The move appears to be a direct signal that communist Beijing will not longer accept or allow Hong Kong's current autonomous status as a free democracy. Beijing signaling "enough is enough", and Hong Kongers are rightly concerned. If Xi follows through, we can expect to see even more protests and confrontations; and the possibility President Trump will remove the "special trade status" the U.S. gives to Hong Kong. Right now Hong Kong is exempt from U.S. tariffs and other economic measures the U.S. has deployed against China. If Beijing takes full control, that could quickly change. . . . Prior to the Wuhan virus President Trump was positioning the confrontation between the U.S. and China based on economics and trade. Within that dynamic Beijing had a weak hand and President Trump exploited their vulnerabilities with a geopolitical strategy to dismantle China's one-belt/one-road expansion plan. . . President Trump used access to the strong U.S. market to leverage multinational companies away from Chinese manufacturing. Trump's tariffs against China were extremely effective; and led to Beijing's initial acquiescence. However, it was soon evident that China would not accept their diminished economic outcome. If Xi moves on Hong Kong, there's a very strong likelihood President Trump will remove the HK special trade status which will have an immediate impact. . . . .
