🚨MASSIVE BREAKING NEWS🚨
A few have asked me, we're already "at war" with #China, why is this "massive?"

The short answer is special status makes #HongKong "the goose that lays the golden eggs" for the Chinese communist party #CCP, as @EmilyLauWH tells me in an interview we shot moments before this.
.@Michael_Yon says it very well: "#HongKong… is the tumor on Xi's brain… If they don't treat it, it's going to grow. If they treat it, they can only treat it with a chainsaw."

The #CCP has opted for the chainsaw.

Seems like @SecPompeo, as is @iingwen for #Taiwan (as I mentioned in a previous tweet) is moving quickly.

BREAKING: It seems like Beijing is going to use the #coronavirus / #CCPvirus pandemic to ram through the national security law updates that began the #HongKong protests 9 months ago.

Great thread on what's happening *as we speak* 👇👇👇
If this goes through & at this stage there are few things that could stop it, HK's special status is very much on the line. I don't think @SecPompeo was bluffing.

@Michael_Yon once likened this to the #CCP trying to remove the #HK "tumor" with a chainsaw.
ICYMI: @Michael_Yon: "#HongKong—like Poland [in the 80s]—is the tumor on Xi's brain… It's an existential threat."

Watching US Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger speak in Chinese, including those in Communist China who can bypass the "Great Firewall."

Now he's talking about "Chinese heroes" of that era like Hu Shih, who championed literacy for the masses.
Unprecedented:

He's talking about civic-minded citizens who commit small acts of bravery, like Wuhan #coronavirus whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang, embodying the May 4th spirit.

PC Chang who helped draft the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

Catholics being suppressed by the #CCP
Now he's talking about everyday people pushing back against the corruption of elites.

Wasn't the spirit of the May 4th movement for the people to govern themselves?

It's the first time I'm aware of, as host notes, an American official spoke in Chinese from the @WhiteHouse
