Hong Kong on brink of explosion once again

After months of relative calm owing to the COVID-19 shutdown, tensions are boiling over in Hong Kong once more.

Heavily armed riot Police have stormed malls and fired pellets on pro-democracy protestors, lawmakers are brawling, and Hong Kong’s leader (and CCP puppet) Carrie Lam has vowed to overhaul Hong Kong’s education system to “re-educate the youth of Hong Kong to curb dissent”, claiming that young protestors are “being fed poison in colleges” and that “liberal studies curriculum is fueling dissent in the name of freedom”:

Carrie Lam’s policy is straight from the CCP dictator’s play book and is certain to be met with more civil unrest.
