China Will Regret Playing Politics with the U.S. Racial Protests
If Beijing continues to indulge in using propaganda and fake news to attack the U.S. and its allies, it may come to rue the day it tried to play politics with the killing of an American black man in Minnesota.
If Beijing continues to indulge in using propaganda and fake news to attack the U.S. and its allies, it may come to rue the day it tried to play politics with the killing of an American black man in Minnesota.

The deeply offensive propaganda war China has launched against the U.S. over the killing of George Floyd is nothing more than a clumsy attempt by Beijing to seek revenge against Washington for supporting pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.

At the height of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy demonstrations last year, a number of prominent American politicians from both sides of the political divide voiced their support for the campaigners.

In November American President Donald Trump, defying calls from China to block the legislation, signed two bills supporting Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protesters.

The activists also received support from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who described the protests as a “beautiful sight to behold.”

More recently U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo came to the defence of the territory’s 7.5 million residents after China’s ruling communist party (CCP) unilaterally imposed new security measures that undermined Hong Kong’s semi-autonomous status.

“The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong as they struggle against (China’s) increasing denial of the autonomy that they were promised,” Mr Pompeo declared at the end of last month.

The Secretary of State followed this by announcing that the territory would no longer enjoy special status under American law, a move that could add a negative impact on Hong Kong’s status as a major financial hub, thereby increasing the pressure on Beijing’s already battered economy.
