Re: Hong kong protest

One reason the Brits gave up all Hong Kong was that it has to import fresh water from mainland China, so the Brits figured if they told the Chinese to piss off, the Chinese would turn the colony in a refugee camp in a couple of weeks.

Re: Hong kong protest

they use a lot of water compared to other major cities in the world so there is room for a correction. If you ration it on top of that you only need 20-30%, and they import 70-80% from china. So using it as a weapon won't work in the short run except to spread fear.

I'm more afraid of what the police/army will do.

I think if they have a go for democracy, they should do it now. In the future world there won't be any drones refusing to shoot innocent civilians while an army is always a liability for any dictator.

Re: Hong kong protest

tsunami bomb

A series of tests were conducted around New Zealand during the war to evaluate the feasibility of the tsunami bomb — and when done correctly, it worked, according to Ray Waru, a New Zealand author whose book, "Secrets and Treasures" (Random House, 2012), outlines some of the military's lesser-known follies, including extensive UFO investigations.

Apparently, the correct way to create a large tsunami wave is through not one, but several bombs using some 2,200 tons (2 million kilograms) of explosives arrayed in a line about 5 miles (8 kilometers) offshore, according to the Daily Telegraph.

"If you put it in a James Bond movie it would be viewed as fantasy, but it was a real thing," Waru told the Daily Telegraph. "It was absolutely astonishing. First, that anyone would come up with the idea of developing a weapon of mass destruction based on a tsunami ... and also that New Zealand seems to have successfully developed it to the degree that it might have worked."

Concern over the effectiveness of an atomic bomb was the impetus behind Project Seal's tsunami bomb. "Presumably, if the atomic bomb had not worked as well as it did, we might have been tsunami-ing people," Waru told the Daily Telegraph.

The program was abandoned in 1945 before the war ended, though New Zealand authorities continued to produce reports on Project Seal's tsunami bomb into the 1950s, the Daily Telegraph reports.

"tsunami bomb"
can you clarify your argument? On its own it could be easily misinterpreted for a pornographic request.

Re: Hong kong protest

Before they allow prodemocracy protestors to win control of as much as a school district...yeah, sure.

They're still the only country to try a sneak attack against the United Nations.

Re: Hong kong protest

why would they destroy the land and econ if they can destroy protesters specifically? Makes no sense. It would drive even hard-core pro-communist party members in the hands of the protestors. China's econ can't take the loss of Hong Kong. An economic downfall would mean giant riots. The only time when people don't care about their life or ideals is when they are hungry. That is how the Arabic spring started.

I bet they send in the army first or even bomb the place if they don't succeed (which is highly unlikely given the protestors don't have any arms). Its cheap practice for both soldiers and medical personnel.

"China's econ can't take the loss of Hong Kong."

They're commies at heart.  They'd rather own 100% of $5000 than 1% of $5,000,000,000,000.   It's about control not wealth.

Plus US corporations will whore for them no matter what.


Also if you read "Atlas Shrugged" there's a line in there about the most basic level of government being princes stabbing  half-naked peasants in the back with a dagger to steal a grain of rice, because enough rice buys jewelry.

Re: Hong kong protest

I think not public crackdowns, lots of spies, agents, and hidden police, people going missing in the night, blamed on the "riots", their bodies found later cut up badly as a message to the rest...

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: Hong kong protest

Re: Hong kong protest

China is working on a "public image" so they firewall, hide, remove people when no attention is on them, and so forth.

They may even "allow" open elections, but coincidentally their man keeps winning the election, ala how the Kims get elected in North Korea and how other dictators act like they have a Democracy.

Believe me I know their game plan here, lol.
