** 18-Apr-2020 World View: CCP thugs arrest Hong Kong activists during pandemic

There are some signs that regional conflicts are growing, as most of
the world is distracted by the Wuhan Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic
crisis.
On the one hand, the conflicts in Syria and Yemen appear to be
frozen in place, as all belligerents are fearing a "coronavirus
tsunami." In in the Mideast, Iran is being widely blamed for being
the super-spreader that has spread Covid-19 throughout the region.
However, there are some conflicts that are worsening, because
of the coronavirus pandemic distraction.
There are reports that the CCP thugs are arresting pro-democracy
leaders in Hong Kong, even though there have been no demonstrations
for months. This is an example of what can happen. The only
protection that these young people had was international pressure on
the CCP. But now, nobody cares about anything but the coronavirus
pandemic, so the CCP thugs see their opportunity.
Furthermore, a widespread pro-democratic protest is almost impossible
during the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic crisis.
There have also been reports of increased military activity by the CCP
thugs in the South China and East China seas.
Another example is that in Burma (Myanmar), the military is stepping
up attacks on Rohingyas and other ethnic groups in Rakhine, Chin,
Karen and northern Shan states. It may even be an objective to
destroy health facilities, so that as many people in these ethnic
groups will die from the virus.
All of this comes at a time when suspicious are growing that the CCP
and WHO purposely censored early reports and lied about human to human
transmission in order to guarantee that the virus would spread to
Europe and the United States. Another benefit to the CCP thugs' lying
is that now they can take advantage of the pandemic they caused to
launch military action in Hong Kong and elsewhere.
