The recent UN Security Council vote against Israel won’t help China’s claim to Taiwan.
Taiwan and Israel are poised to gain closer ties in light of last week’s “unintentional
Antisemitism” that was heavily condemned and harshly responded to by Taiwan’s president.
Now, with China having voted against Israel, and Israel breaking ties with Security Council
members who voted, China’s “one country, two systems” policy won’t be as important
in Jerusalem.
China spit into the wind once again with stepped-up rhetoric over dissidents in the Mainland and
in Hong Kong.
When Hong Kong left Britain, it’s economy flourished—something similar to how things
went in the United States after the colonies left Britain.
But, rather than piggy-backing history, Beijing seems determined to repeat it, namely angering
the people with unilateral restrictions in policies that mildly resemble the Stamp and
Tea Acts.
Beijing had inherited paradise.
All the Communists had to do was keep their promise to leave it alone.
Instead, they vetted Hong Kong legislators before elections rather than reviewing Hong
Kong laws after they are passed.
And, Beijing still doesn’t understand.
Soon, the former British colony will echo the old, “No taxation without representation,”
and insist that money never leave Hong Kong for Beijing.
It is sad.
It has been sad.
It will be sad.
And, it is all without need.
Now, China has opponents on five fronts: Mongolia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Islam, and, as of this
week, Israel.
