U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has deleted a statement posted to his official Twitter account on Thursday that said the U.S. would “stand with the people of Hong Kong,” the South China Morning Post reported Friday.

Blinken’s now-deleted tweet, originally posted on September 16, read:

'Beijing should let the voices of all Hong Kongers be heard. The PRC [People’s Republic of China]’s disqualification of district councilors only weakens Hong Kong’s long-term political & social stability. We stand with the people of Hong Kong and continue to support their human rights & fundamental freedoms.'

Can't piss off our debt holders...

Our governing elite has far more in common with the thugs of the CCP than they do with your average Chou Six-Pack in the streets of Hong Kong, demanding he keep his liberty. I think Hunter is still invested in Chinese, PLA-run firms, too, no?

Everything about Biden is to the benefit of our enemies, especially China. So, I'm not surprised that one of the consequences of Blinken's association with Joe Biden is to forgo his support for freedom in Hong Kong, in preparation for a political capitulation to the CCP.
