Amazing, protestors in Hong Kong hold the U.S. flag while singing the U.S. national anthem as the take a stand against communism and embrace freedom! This isn't being covered by the mainstream media.

Hong Kong protesters wave American flag, sing national anthem

Nobody knows the nationality of the protesters holding the flags. Could be U.S. citizens? Could be plants by the Chinese government to help provide and excuse for heavy-handed intervention? Lots of questions.

The protest is over the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill - Wikipedia which allows China to extradite people from Hong Kong. Looks like Hong Kong has been used as something akin to a sanctuary city in the U.S.

Duh.

The citizens of Hong Kong have always be tried in Hong Kong with the laws of Hong Kong. Now that Hong Kong is again part of China, the government of China wants to be able to try people anywhere in China, including "the mainland". It is not at all like sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities do not prohibit legal extradition.

It is like a sanctuary city in that people go there to not be tried by China itself. Just like people flee to sanctuary cities to not be deported. They definitely share similarities. I think its encouraging. Perhaps these few rebels will be what leads to the democracy for the nation.

And Donald J Trump took a courageous stand, letting the Communists know that he and the USA stood behind the valiant protesters! Because he believes in Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

Right? He did, didn't he?

He hasn't really commented yet. WH staff and cabinet members have.

I really hate to defend Trump, but if it takes a bit of *** kissing to prevent a nuclear war, I'm all for it.

No one is going to start a nuclear war over HK especially Trump as he has a 500 million USD development deal in China right now.

Interesting. Isn't Hong Kong Chinese territory with some autonomy?

Yes supposedly, but China had been tightening its grip on HK lately.
