Ignorant nonsense. US interference is unhelpful but not really significant. This is a movement with broad support in HK society. Taking one person's silly sign and claiming that it represents the aims of all demonstrators not only distorts the facts, it shows you up as a fool with an agenda. Try harder next time.

I don't doubt that Hong Kong residents have legitimate gripes, but like a tapeworm attaching itself to the host, almost any domestic unrest in any US "adversary" is usually tapped into by the US for its own purposes.

The real issue here is the idea that Western nations have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign countries, anywhere in the world, whenever it suits them to further the agenda of the Imperialism.

If the Chinese people of Hong Kong have a problem with their rulers, surely they have the right to do whatever they choose about it, without external interference. But apparently not, according the Empire and its lackeys. As ever, the West is the arbiter of other peoples lives (and death). It's sickening and I'm ashamed by the actions of our so-called leaders.

Own comment: 

Interesting piece by MoonOfAlabama who claims the U.S. is directing/instigating/controlling/gaslighting the protests in Hong Kong.

I have no doubt that they are involved given they seem to get involved in all protests against any non-acquiescent power. From what I can tell the protests began somewhat organically, but there has never been such a thing as a spontaneous protest and even the protests which start out with the best intentions often are overrun by interests with far worse.

Goodness knows what will come out of the Hong Kong protests, but any major Western power thinking it will use them to hurt China will find itself on the losing side; of that I am certain.
