China / US Tit for Tat

China's consulate in Houston, Texas has some 60 workers. Being forced to close it on short notice of only 72 hours, China retaliated by ordering the US to close its consulate in Chengdu. ___________________________________________________ In Hong Kong, the US consulate has thousands of workers. If you insist that a consulate is usually also a center of espionage, then you must say that the US consulate in Hong Kong is the super American spy center in the world. And it is. Since the National Security Law came into effect, I heard the number of staff members has been reduced. ___________________________________________________ There are 85,000 Americans living and working in Hong Kong. Besides the US consulate workers, CIA agents in HK would take the cover roles of being a teacher, journalist, news reporter, merchant, NGO worker, etc. etc. But you know what their real work is. Many Hongkongers would like to see the US consulate in HK closed. ___________________________________________________ Edi Lee for Peace *** Fast Edi Thoughts and Comments

National Security Law

Since the National Security Law came into effect, Hong Kong is no longer a freewheeling spy center of the world. Domestic and foreign anti-China forces in HK can no longer 'freely' operate and make troubles and chaos to separate HK from China. __________________________________________________ The year-long US led political riots and color revolution against China almost destroyed HK. The 'One Country Two Systems' has survived, but the wishful thinking to turn China and HK into 'Two Countries Two Systems' has failed. __________________________________________________ Hong Kong is an inseparable part of China. It was all anti-China political BS to deny this fact. It was futile trying to make HK independent. It would and did fail. __________________________________________________ Cancellation or suspension of extradition agreements by some countries with HK is not surprising. Nor is it surprising that the National Security Law came into effect. Certainly the anti-China separatists and foreign spies don't like it, but there are millions of Hongkongers who cheered and celebrated that the Chinese Government has finally come to their rescue. They have had enough of the violent, destructive and terrifying riots. Law and order are being restored. They now feel safe to wave the China flag and sing China's national anthem without fear of being beaten up by the anti-China thugs and separatists. __________________________________________________ Beware that the National Security Law has taken away one's 'freedom' to commit serious crimes of secession, sedition, terrorism, and collusion with external powers to endanger the security of HK, China. Freedom is not absolute and unlimited. It doesn't include the 'freedom' to commit a crime without paying for the consequence. __________________________________________________ All countries have national security laws. The US has more than 20 such legislations. Yet China may not pass a national security law to protect the sovereignty and security of China including HK which is part of China? Why only talk about some 20 plus Western countries against this National Security Law but ignore some 50 plus countries at UN which support it? What right do foreign countries have to tell a country, in this case China, not to pass a national security law to protect itself? Can I tell you to leave your doors wide open to 'freely' let the strangers, thieves, burglars, spies and criminals of all kinds come into your home?

NGO Spying

In the news, the Pentagon allegedly used a Christian Non Governmental Organization (NGO) as a front to spy on North Korea. 

My thoughts and comments:

It is nothing new that the U.S. would use Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) to spy on other countries. When it comes to spying, no country (especially the big powers) is ever a pure angel. They are all spying devils. Today, the governments spy on both friends and foes, and everyone, even their own citizens. So this is the world we are living in today !!!

World of Spies

I spy on you. You spy on me. We spy on them. They spy on us. This world is one big SNAFU !!!
