2. Following this in 1950, Chacha rejects a permanent seat offered to India in the UN Security Council by US. It was assumed that India replacing China in UNSC would offend both PRC and USSR. India favours China. China becomes permanent UNSC member.

3. 1n 1950, China shows interest in acquiring Tibet(Led by Spiritual/Political leader, The Dalai Lama 14th). Chacha refused to think of the idea of using military force to deter the Chinese. No support given to Tibet. India sides with China.
Here's the most important part of @realDonaldTrump speech on #HongKong and #China:
"China claims it is protecting national security. But the truth is Hong Kong was secrure and prosperous as a free society. Beijing decision reverses all of that.
"China claims it is protecting national security. But the truth is Hong Kong was secrure and prosperous as a free society. Beijing decision reverses all of that.
It extends the reach of Chinas invasive state secutiry apparatus into what was formerly a bastion of liberty. Chinas latest incursion along with other recent developments that degraded the territories freedoms makes clear that HK is no longer sufficiently autonomous to warrant...
the special freedoms that we have afforded the territory since the handover. China has replaced its promised formula of 1C2S to 1C1S. Therefore I am directing my administration to begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions that give HK different and special treatments.
As #Beijing prepares to impose a sweeping #NationalSecurityLaw formally invalidating core #1C2S protections, risks are mounting for #HongKongers & their future.

This video has been deleted by Facebook several times. Is it really necessary for around ten policemen to gather to subdue only one armless protestor who had already been lain on the ground? Is it necessary to hit him when he had already been under control?

China's moves to impose a "national security" law onto #HongKong are just the latest in a long series of attempts to erode the freedoms and undermine the democratic institutions of Hong Kong. Last year MLI hosted a delegation to discuss this. @nathanlawkc macdonaldlaurier.ca/videos-photos-…
As @nathanlawkc explained last year, the situation in #HongKong has been becoming increasingly dire, and as Hong Kong serves as the "front line" of democracy, Beijing's authoritarian moves against the territory have global implications. #cdnpoli #cdnfp
With some 300,000 Canadians living and working in #HongKong, and with China breaking its commitments under the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration (which Canada supported), Martin Lee told @cburton001 that Canada has a moral obligation to speak up. macdonaldlaurier.ca/ep-30-hong-kon…
