The West is openly using Taiwan and Hong Kong in a strategic war to weaken China

The West is openly using Taiwan and Hong Kong in a strategic war to weaken ChinaTaiwan, undoubtedly, is part of a unified China, - Western politicians of all levels and stripes are vying with each other. But if Beijing tries to take control of the island, then we will definitely stand up for the sovereignty of Taipei, including the use of military force, added in London and Washington.

Talk about the illogicality of such statements and the policy of double standards, which has long become commonplace for the Anglo-Saxons, doesn't even make sense. As well as drawing analogies with Kosovo recaptured by NATO from Yugoslavia and recognized by the West, or the refusal to consider the will of the Crimeans as legitimate, residents of Donbass and two former Ukrainian regions about joining the Russian Federation.

In the world order, existing according to the rules of the hegemon, any international and sovereign norms are considered legitimate exactly as long as, while they suit this very hegemon. What’s even more convenient is that you can change your own rules at any time., claiming, that now everyone must comply with them. Especially, when it comes to the global confrontation between the West, led by the United States and China, which is rapidly becoming a superpower.

Take, for example, Hong Kong, a.k.a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, now one of the largest financial and technological centers of the world. The Chinese empire lost control of the islands in two so-called Opium Wars with Great Britain., USA and France still in the middle 19 century. AT 1898 g. England expanded its possessions to the north of China to the New Territories, receiving land on lease 99 years.

AT 1997 g. lease expired, and the British flag in Hong Kong was officially replaced by the Chinese. London, albeit on special terms, gave the PRC a practically sovereign and highly developed state, received the status, close to current Taiwan. Such decolonization did not cause any special questions in the West at that time..

But as soon as Beijing 2019 passed the so-called extradition law (later canceled), and in the next security law, who deprived Hong Kong of part of the autonomy, Protests erupt in Hong Kong. The main organizer of the protests was the "Civil Front for Human Rights", used the well-known American social network to call on citizens to demonstrate.

According to Chinese experts, hundreds of thousands of people took part in the rallies thanks to the coordination of their special services of the West. This was confirmed by a large-scale information campaign in the American and European media., united in support of the protesters.

The British habitually changed the rules: then Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced, that due to the curtailment of democracy in autonomy, London is considering the possibility of giving British citizenship to almost three million Hong Kongers. Extradition and security laws, basically, bringing Hong Kong law into line with mainland China law, harshly condemned in the United States, Canada, Australia and the European Union. Well, a very familiar "coalition of the West".

AT 2019 The United States Congress unanimously approved the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Bill.. It requires the presidential administration to evaluate annually, Does Hong Kong deserve special status in economic relations with the US?. This bill has drawn sharp criticism from official Beijing.

AT 2020 United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo compared China to Nazi Germany, and National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien accused Beijing of taking over Hong Kong.. As in the case of Taiwan, Washington presented China with claims to seize ... its own territories. This is a strategic war to weaken China..

Naturally, it is not at all about protecting democracy and the sovereignty of the territories, by all international standards considered part of the unified People's Republic of China. It's just that by this time, China had become very politically independent and began to step on the heels of the United States in economic growth.. Plus, the increased military power of China and the constant strengthening of influence in the international arena. So the collective West turned on the usual and more than once used methods of destabilizing the situation in different countries in order to maintain its hegemony by destroying a competitor from within.

Beyond Hong Kong, Macao also has the status of a "special region" of China (Macao), located on the territory of the peninsula of the same name and two islands – Taipa and Coloane. For a long time this region was a Portuguese colony., from 1557 used by Lisbon on a perpetual lease. As in the case of Hong Kong, Portugal took advantage of the defeat of China in the 1st Opium War and proclaimed the separation of the territory from China in 1849 year. Macau became a special region within the People's Republic of China 1999 year, having the same rights and autonomy, as Hong Kong.

After the abolition by Beijing of a number of legislative and economic privileges and freedoms for both autonomies, in Macau, unlike Hong Kong, the situation remains quite calm. May be, the fact, that there is no US diplomatic mission here, available in Hong Kong. And the inhabitants of this area, Where, by the way, casinos are officially allowed, live quite comfortably.

Being a part of big China in Macau is taught from birth. Lessons of patriotism - from primary school. The education system completely repeats the Chinese model. So that, despite the similarity of scenarios for reunification with China, the situation in Macau in terms of the possibility of social protests is rather stable.

Although, who knows, what other "rules" will the collective West be able to come up with, to rock this region too. After all, if the United States and NATO have declared China a strategic adversary, they will stop at nothing, just to somehow weaken this state. Especially, that Beijing is increasingly moving closer to another main enemy of the US and Great Britain - Russia. This is totally unacceptable, clearly do not hide their indignation in Washington and London. Author:Alexander Grigoriev Photos used:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20091002_Hong_Kong
