Taiwan and Israel are poised to gain closer ties in light of last week’s “unintentional

Antisemitism” that was heavily condemned and harshly responded to by Taiwan’s president.

Now, with China having voted against Israel, and Israel breaking ties with Security Council

members who voted, China’s “one country, two systems” policy won’t be as important

in Jerusalem.

China spit into the wind once again with stepped-up rhetoric over dissidents in the Mainland and

in Hong Kong.

When Hong Kong left Britain, it’s economy flourished—something similar to how things

went in the United States after the colonies left Britain.

But, rather than piggy-backing history, Beijing seems determined to repeat it, namely angering

the people with unilateral restrictions in policies that mildly resemble the Stamp and

Tea Acts.

Beijing had inherited paradise.

All the Communists had to do was keep their promise to leave it alone.

Instead, they vetted Hong Kong legislators before elections rather than reviewing Hong

Kong laws after they are passed.

And, Beijing still doesn’t understand.

Soon, the former British colony will echo the old, “No taxation without representation,”

and insist that money never leave Hong Kong for Beijing.

It is sad.

It has been sad.

It will be sad.

And, it is all without need.

Now, China has opponents on five fronts: Mongolia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Islam, and, as of this

week, Israel.
