I'm not well versed on this, but as I understand it Hong Kong was ceded 'in perpetuity' to the British after the first Opium War
So unless something else happened that passed me by in my studies, this is all a giant act of war.
superseded by a subsequent treaty
I see...
but the legality is irrelevant. militarily there is no preventing the chinese from doing whatever they like.
what are the specific demands of these protestors, anyway?
their demands are sort of irrelevant though, as the chinese government will never give them anything. to do so would be to signal that resistance is possible.

that's a river, fuckwit
He repeated the account while talking to reporters after the event.
“Those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president,” Biden said, adding that Republican members of Congress refused to meet with the shooting survivors.
He did meet with some Parkland students following the shooting in 2018, just not as vice president. An official with the Biden campaign told Bloomberg News that Biden was thinking of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., when he misspoke.
Speaking at the Iowa State Fair on Thursday, Biden suffered a minor slip of the tongue, saying: “We choose truth over facts.” He also briefly confused the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Biden had previously conflated Thatcher with one of her successors, Theresa May.
the river doesn't coincide with the border completely.
Republicans do tend to treat survivors of shooting incidents like lepers
the parkland survivors that were shown in the media were assholes though
"republicans have blood on their hands" etc
Like lepers my ass
Williamson’s role in the race is something like that of a progressive counterpart to Jordan Peterson, reminding her audience that Medicare for All or free college won’t cure the deep-seated ills of despair and aimlessness affecting the nation.

I expect her to be using crystal vibrations to determine matters of state.
If trump wasn't on the ballot I might actually vote for her
I wouldn't even if it was her and McCain.
Ew gross. Who in the hell would vote for McCain unless they're blindly following party lines
No

You know what he was trying to say
My ancestry is part-German, so this is my god-given right, goddammit
Williamson would get overwhelmed with the politicing that happens. She might be able to adjust but I have a feeling she wouldn't know how to deal with the depth of deceipt she would encounter.
