REGIME CHANGE HK has disappointed US-NATO savants and their media minions, who uphold Iran (1953) and Iraq (2003) as their gold standard and also hold the Charter for such ops. How far below the standard has BJ fallen!
BJ justifies the HK reform / crackdown (your call) as necessary to end foreign (CIA-NED) support for democracy / color-subversion (your call) activism. The problem: Accounts that fail to address in detail Chinese contentions (NED HK $$ is partly public info), being one-sided, fail to be generally convincing; the omissions / dismissals may even strengthen BJ's arguments. A further complication: when it comes to China, Western media, UK-US especially, suffers from the dilemma captured in the parable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
