天安门大屠杀 Today commentates the 33rd anniversary of the #Tiananmen Square Massacre in China. The CPC has made #HongKong a police state. This will be the first remembrance without a public commemoration in #HK . Remember this was about inflation and runaway food prices 🤫1/8
China’s military executed over 10,000 students protesting food scarcity and runaway prices. The government rolled their tanks over the dead students and then washed their remains down the sewer with fire hoses..#Emblematic of how Xi treats his detractors. #XinjiangPoliceFiles 2/8
As the Rules-based world marches ever closer to a kinetic conflict with China, we must all remember the bravery that Tank Man showed the world in defiance of China’s poor policies and autocratic government. 3/8
The killing of their own students was brutal. 4/8
Remember the incredible candlelight vigil at Victoria Park in 2019 in Hong Kong before China ruled the peaceful remembrance illegal under the new ‘National Security’law? The last vigil held before China’s takeover and martial law, 180,000 HKers participated. 5/8
Today, these protests will be squashed under the iron fist of John Lee. Victoria Park will likely remain vacant. Hong Kong has sadly and quite abruptly slid into the darkness of a Chinese police state with COVID enabling a rapid protest ending and a quieter Chinese takeover. 6/8
What’s in store for Xi’s communist party and his own leadership position? Food prices, on average, are up 74% in the past 24 months (UN Food and AG World Index). Energy prices ripping too. Xi and his cadre of miscreants have their work cut out for them. #ChinaExposed #China 7/8
