My Take | Washington puts on farcical show over Hong Kong
- American politicians really scraped the bottom of the barrel to find three talking heads at congressional hearing on situation in city
Not all useful idiots are equal. Ideally, you want those who have at least some credibility. But those may be hard to come by these days in Hong Kong.
So American politicians on an anti-China rampage were really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find a few talking heads to fill airtime at a US congressional hearing on Hong Kong.
We have Sunny Cheung, a spokesman for a group called Hong Kong Higher Education International Affairs Delegation. Never heard of it? Me neither.
“During detention,” he told his American friends, “one of our student members was told by the police that it was reasonable to rape some female protesters when they frequently have to work overtime. Nowadays, students and Hong Kong people are ready to die for Hong Kong. And some already did. They believe the only limit to their freedom is their death.”
Hong Kong police raping and killing people? Next thing you know, Cheung will be claiming police are harvesting organs from arrested protesters through vivisection.
