I never would've guessed an entity called the Albert Einstein Institution involved colour revolutionaries and CIA officers rather than physicists or maybe divorce lawyers. Looking it up, it apparently doesn't even have anything at all to do with him and was founded decades after he died. Glad there's an Institute trying to honour him by fomenting unrest in China, maybe they can start WWIII and bring us all the future of sticks and stones he talked about. What's next, a Stephen Hawking Institute that trains Israeli snipers to help produce future generations of people in wheelchairs?
As was clear at the time, the foundation on which the protests in Hong Kong were built was largely socio-economic - the frustration of many young people in Hong Kong they couldn't get a good job and the gradually falling living standards, and that the blame for this was China's. Your report shows how powerful countries like China can blow this out of the water simply by developing their economy and improving its citizens' lives. For countries like China and Russia this is achievable, but for smaller countries like Syria, sanctions ensure people suffer in permanent misery in the hope this will be transformed into actions aimed against their own governments. Illegal 'secondary' sanctions make sure many would-be sympathetic countries are prevented from helping the Syrians, of course. The other side of the game is EU membership and the carrot of the dream of western European living standards used to undermine governments in the ex-Soviet space, like Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia.
Good stuff. The CIA and MI6 have their dirty fingers in a lot of pies. All of these undercover operations are part-and-parcel of Washington's plan to dismember Russia, and overthrow the Chinese regime. The US/NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is now moving closer to a head-on confrontation between Russia & US/NATO forces as the Ukrainian military is on its knees and losing the War, despite multi-billions of military and financial support from their puppet-masters. The drift towards a nuclear WW3 and the extinction of the human race can only be stopped by World Socialist Revolution. The key to changing the international situation is the building of Revolutionary Socialist Parties on the model of the Bolsheviks of Lenin & Trotsky in all countries, including capitalist Russia and Stalinist/capitalist China.
It's pretty obvious the Brits want their drug-trafficking trans-shipment base back. Sure, the CIA is involved, but let's recall that the CIA's job is to help Britain restore its empire. In this case, to keep the drugs flowing. Jimmy Lai is a British asset and a British citizen.
I'm torn on the Hong Kong issue. I understood the context and the underhandedness i.e. the West would stoke 'democracy' and China would ultimately win, meaning that the West would, again, ensure that a lot of young people got hurt and imprisoned.
On the other hand, I greatly admired the bravery of the students standing up for themselves. There were several stunning documentaries that enraptured and distressed me.
What student bravery did you admire the most, mike?
Was it when they set a HongKong citizen on fire leaving him fighting for his life for months because he had the temerity to argue with them? Perhaps you saw in your documentaries the video of the brave students stoning to death a street cleaner who was performing the authoritarian sin of cleaning their mess up.
Did you.admire them setting fire to shops on the ground floor of highrises, or operating metro train and stations, endangering the lives of hundreds each time.
Did you VoA documentarians ask them why they only attack working people, small businesses and public infrastructure but never the oligarchy or finance boys?
Did you admire their brave technique of mobbing any citizen who stood up to them, and beating them bloody, while hiding their criminal actions behind a wall of umbrellas.
Are you enraptured everytime you see black shirt fascist thugs, paid dollar in hand by known CiA agents, terrorising a population until nobody dare walk the streets and the economy is brought to its knees - all for US Empire?
Nice being an anonymous troll and speaking out of context. You're damaging your own issue, and challenging someone who admires China. If only I possessed your cowardice and foolishness, I could also become a troll and damage the topic I was standing up for.
How am i speaking out of context? I added a swaithe of context to your naive take. Take one sentence from my reply and explain how it is false or trolling. You stated that you admire people who committed the gross crimes against the people of Hong Kong. You need to stand by your opinion and explain why you admire violent groups that were being funded and orchestrated by the US.

Don’t be surprised if that becomes reality.

It's pretty funny that the media covered the Hong Kong protests in the complete opposite way as the yellow vests etc.
HK had violence that was "justified" and the police were the bad guys.
Yellow vests etc were mostly peaceful but the tyrannical police response was considered good.

Thanks for another valuable article.
