That is news. I am reporting it, I am doing what this thread is meant for. Btw, Xi may not care about HK...but he will care when his ability to govern HK is damaged by US retaliation.
I have to ask, why are you so sensitive to the notion of US retaliation? Does it impact you personally in anyway? It seems to trigger something in you. Its like some personal insult on you for some reason.That is very odd. I am sorry I have to ask this, you don't happen to be a wumao?

You just supported my suspicions. What is it about the notion of US retaliation that so bothers you personally? You treat it like some personal insult on you. That is very strange. Do you have personal interest hurt by the prospect of US retaliation and sanctions? Or are you simply paid to try and dampen this idea?
What exactly is so "disconcerting"?Original Post Deleted
You also fail to understand what "credible" means in the political sense. Any US retaliation may or may not impact the enactment of the law, but US will feel they are politically bound to take action in response in any case. It is not a question of whether it will have any material impact on HK, rather it is a fact that the US feels they have to take action to uphold its political credibility.

Of course Xi won't care, but that doesn't mean it won't make political sense for the US/Trump or be good policy in general. Nobody expects the US actions to change anything for HK, but I think most people would be happy with a souring of relations between China and the West as a result. The world would be better off if the democratic countries will disengage from China over all the shit Xi has been doing.
Why are you so certain nothing will happen? Why are you throwing insults rather than trying to make a logical argument? Seems very suspicious your argument and David4Maths are exactly the same. You don't happen to be the same poster using different names?Original Post Deleted
I feel sorry for hard luck cases like you, incapable of mounting any semblance of argument.
No you are ignorant of Sino-US relations.Original Post Deleted
I'm not paranoid, I am just aware of the habits of some trolls on here. And if you don't care, why are you responding? You are contradicting yourself again I am afraid. How can anyone take your post seriously? Come on, at least have the decency to use just one poster account.
