** 09-Jun-2019 World View: Massive Hong Kong demonstrations threaten CCP
It's now the middle of the night on Monday morning in Hong Kong,
and police are using batons and pepper spray to remove the
thousands of remaining anti-Beijing protesters. There are
violent clashes between protesters and police outside the Hong
Kong legislature building.
During the day on Sunday, there were hundreds of thousands of peaceful
protesters filling the streets, despite the sweltering heat.
Organizers say that the number was close to one million, while Hong
Kong police put the count at 240,000. Either way, this is the most
massive protest since 2003, and possibly the largest since 1997, when
Britain turned its Hong Kong colony over to China.

The demonstrators are protesting a proposed extradition law, which
would permit someone in Hong Kong accused of a crime to be transferred
to mainland China for trial by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) thugs,
rather than in the Hong Kong courts.
The law will apparently also permit any international traveler passing
through Hong Kong on the way to another destination to be arrested in
Hong Kong airport and abducted to China.
The law will be debated on Wednesday and, if passed, will take effect
by the end of the month. The protesters targeted Carrie Lam, Hong
Kong’s chief executive, hand-picked by Beijing in violation of their
1997 promise to Britain and the world of free and fair elections. The
CCP thugs reinterpreted that promise to mean, "We'll pick a couple of
candidates, and you can vote freely and fairly among those two."
So now Carrie Lam and the CCP thugs are saying that the proposed
extradition bill contains "safeguards," and that Hong Kong would
protect citizens from illegal abductions. That's laughable, since
China has already been conducting illegal abductions. Since 2016,
Chinese thugs have abducted dissident publishers and business
executives off Hong Kong’s streets without the legal cover of
extradition proceedings. The proposed law would legalize the
abductions of dissidents to China, where they can be freely tortured,
beaten, raped and executed.

Sunday's protesters were much larger than anyone expected, and they're
sure to put the CCP thugs in Beijing into full-scale panic. These
massive protests will remind them of the 1989 Tiananmen Square student
pro-democracy protests, which led to massive slaughter of thousands of
young people, and to new policies that clamped down violently on
religions and dissidents. It also led to the adoption of a vitriolic
nationalistic CCP hate campaign towards Japan, in order to deflect the
pro-democracy sentiments.
It's clear that the Hong Kong dissidents are not going to back down.
And it's also clear that these growing protests will lead to panic in
Beijing, with resulting plans for wide retaliation. The timing and
form of that retaliation is yet to be seen, but it's sure to be
violent and bloody.
