THOMAS HON WING POLIN – Hong Kong: New Epicenter of the Empire’s Smear Campaign Against China?

Summary:
As usual, nothing but fake news in the MSM. Rather than tightening it's grip on Hong Kong, Beijing has been too lenient, says Thomas Hon Wing Polin, and this has caused much of the problems. As the Western Empire ramps up its full-spectrum war on the Chinese, its latest target is Hong Kong, China’s premier special administrative region (SAR). Even the latest wave of media assaults confirms it. An essential adjunct to an Imperial attack on any designated victim is a sustained campaign of demonization, conducted through mainstream media and supported by associated local media. Such a drive had been onging in Hong Kong, since the former British colony returned to its motherland in 1997. Beijing’s kid-gloves handling of its relationship with its SAR was relentlessly miscast as the creeping

As usual, nothing but fake news in the MSM. Rather than tightening it's grip on Hong Kong, Beijing has been too lenient, says Thomas Hon Wing Polin, and this has caused much of the problems.

As the Western Empire ramps up its full-spectrum war on the Chinese, its latest target is Hong Kong, China’s premier special administrative region (SAR). Even the latest wave of media assaults confirms it.
An essential adjunct to an Imperial attack on any designated victim is a sustained campaign of demonization, conducted through mainstream media and supported by associated local media. Such a drive had been onging in Hong Kong, since the former British colony returned to its motherland in 1997. Beijing’s kid-gloves handling of its relationship with its SAR was relentlessly miscast as the creeping suppression of freedoms by evil Chinese Communists. With palpitating enthusiasm, Hong Kong’s legions of Beijing-haters cooperated to enforce and amplify the fraudulent narrative.
MSM’s new, malevolent focus on Hong Kong is part of an all-out propaganda blitz against China by the Democracy Empire and its allies and agents. The campaign seizes on Hong Kong’s current unrest to vilify China further. The reality is that Hong Kong under China is freer than it ever was during 165 years of British colonial rule, contrary to the continuous assertions of the West’s Sinophobic propaganda. And during the recent turmoil — engineered by the unholy alliance between local Beijing-haters and their Western backers — Beijing has kept entirely aloof, to the dismay of Chinese patriots in the SAR.
None of that, of course, has prevented the Empire from screaming “Bloody repression!” over Hong Kong more loudly than ever. Whether out to advance the Empire’s political agenda or out of sheer ignorance, the MSM narrative has invariably been this: The three-eyed, green-complexioned ogre in Beijing continues to tighten its grip on brave, freedom-loving little Hong Kong!
