True, he just took away special treatment from HK so their politicians will be held accountable to their people and not mainland China.

They were no longer autonomous enough from China to be differentiated from them after something about new surveillance policies they forced on Hong Kong, if I understand correctly.

So Trump is helping put pressure on China via HK unfortunately at the expense of USA living HK but in the end China will be the one who pays. Hopefully for the “virus” too.

Master strategist. Good luck Hong Kong, you guys got this.

This action will impact China, which has been funneling a lot of shipping through Hong Kong. Shipping costs will go up a bit.

Trump should offer them asylum. These people are the freedom loving patriots we so desperately need

Exactly. We should beat the drum on this, if we were ever in a similar situation I would hope a based country would save the day.

There is no where to run. America is the last chance for freedom until another bloody revolution occurs some where else. (Which with technology and the boner ever one has going after guns is much more unlikely then our Independence Day)

After that technology is just on the cusp of being good enough to be able to document everything, no running no hiding just big brother watching until you dont match up or buy the wrong thing and then reeducation camps for you

Other wise the ounce free nations in africa are now dominated by Islam. I honestly cant think of a fucking free republic that rules based on law.

So where would you run? Why do you think we need more runners and not fighters in this country?

I don't think many people here truly understand what this EO does, with WeChat closed as well, this is the end of dirty Chicom money coming into the US. Take a minute to read the entire EO and understand what has just been accomplished!!

Please explain; I was cross eyed tired when I read the EO last night and I couldn't figure it out.

Back in early February, Pompeo spoke at the National Governors association. The whole speech is worth the watch, but let's look at this section in particular.

https://youtu.be/SqQ1A7bKLhw?t=217

He outlined an invitation from a former governor for an 'event' which promised to be quote "An occasion for exclusive deal making."

It continued, "The opportunities for mutually beneficial economic development between China and our individual states are tremendous."

This event was co-hosted by the National Governors Association and something called, "The Chinese People's Association for Friendship in Foreign Countries"

This group is actually the public face of the CCP's official foreign influence agency, the "United Front Work Department"

The group has also produced a report that lists of all 50 governors based on their attitudes towards China. In Pompeo's words:

They labelled each of you 'Friendly', 'Hardline', or 'Ambiguous'. I'll let you decide where you think you belong: someone in China already has.

Suffice it to say, Pompeo laid out a warning to all governors that the Trump administration is aware of their backdoor deals with China, and asked them to make the right decisions moving forward

Ripped straight from halfchan I'll post the screen shot of the most interesting parts of it in a bit. This is going to be nuts

https://publicpool.kinja.com/subject-the-presidents-executive-order-on-hong-kong-no-1844384268

Trump just signed an executive order that:

Bans the CCP and their families from immigration Revokes all of their real estate in the United States Blocks the assets & everything related to anyone associated with them, directly or indirectly (HELLO ASSHOLES IN PICRELATED) This includes corporations, schools, businesses, etc.. EVERYTHING past or present

DO YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

Sec. 8. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.

(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.

is 8kun just a honeypot? Where do I go to escape the incessant BBC threads on halfchan and get some decent balance of "taboo" information/shitposting?

R_isfor_Renegade 6 points ago +6 / -0

8kun is alright 8chan was legit but got to by (((them))) after that retard loser shot up the mosque in nz, nevermind he live streamed the thing on FB, he posted his "manifesto" on fullchan and they used that to shut it down. Half turned into the honey pot years ago. The bbc threads are there to deter anyone slightly normal. It's done in coordination with the jannies. If you have anything of value worth reading it will get locked down or deleted in minutes. The nannies on 4 are worse then the bullshit moderators on rebbit. 8kun is the best of a bunch of shitty options. There are some backup chans but that will take some work on your part to find them and you're usually there for a specific reason not just to beebop around like you could on 4 or 8.

It gives the Treasury Department extremely wide latitude to freeze the assets of members of the CCP, as well as anyone who had done business with the CCP or any other person or organization which contributed to the oppression of Hong Kong. I'll be extremely interested in seeing how far these asset freezes are taken, because by my reading of the EO they could even be applied to US entities like the NBA and Blizzard which only suppressed pro-Hong Kong comments.

Reddit on suicide watch lol

For real though nothing will probably be done to any of these fuckfaces.

An EO "allowing" enforcement is different from an EO that enacts enforcement imo.

EatDatSideOfBeef 9 points ago +9 / -0

The EO actually was an order for the Treasury to freeze assets of those who acted against Hong Kong, the tricky part is that instead of listing specific people and organizations to act against, it listed a number of relatively broad outlines for who was to be targeted. It could be that those descriptions will be interpreted as broadly as possible, or maybe only a few key people people will be targeted; it will be up to the Treasury and the rest of the Trump Administration to determine how far to take all of this

They are still donating plenty to BLM (ActBlue), buying large percentages of Big Tech, and have already laundered billions to Biden through his son and their firms.

This E.O. is not nearly enough. It's a step in the right direction, but I want to see huge moves! Arrest people like Obama for his felonies. Make a big play!

We need to stop them from owning stock in American corporations and owning real estate.

since the supreme court set a DACA precedence, that means this EO can't be rescinded by the next president??? gotta lose a little ground to gain ground.

No nation should ever expect that China will honor any major international treaty or agreement they've entered into and signed.

They've broken every one and should never be trusted.

"The Left has been supporting Hong Kong over China for more than a year, surely this tweet will be the one that unites everyone and nobody could possibly have a complaint about it..."

"...and they're saying he asked Putin for permission and did it to draw focus away from the debunked Russian bounty scandal."

If Congress keeps spending WAY more than it takes in, we will have a problem if China cashes in a large amount of T-bills at once. They own a lot of our debt.
