    I think the bill is more of symbolic value than aiming for practical effect. Still, one should not entirely dismiss the bill (if it passes). Since banning sale of weapons to the police by the US would in effect label the HK police force as a sanctioned entity, its international reputation and credibility will suffer even more than now. The bill will send a signal that the US regards the HK police as little more than a political tool to suppress citizens rather than an impartial law enforcement body. This may impact international cooperation with other legal enforcement bodies in the future, especially those in the West.

    The "bot po" is ripping flowers but she also has a MLB LA Dodgers cap on. Looks like a big NY New York Yankees logo on the back of her white tee shirt too. Excellent demonstration of American softpower even by a xenophobic China nationalist.

    OK, I was super impressed how everyone learned the lyrics to the "Glory to HK" anthem. Until I watched the close-ups of the singing at the malls- many are reading along on their mobile phones!! I mean, still a very impressive display and all but not everyone knows the words. I will remember to bring up the lyrics on my phone (the phonetic ones on GeoExpat) if I go to a sing-in.
