The Battle Over Hong Kong: New Silk Road or New World Order?

To the chagrin of those authors of color revolutions who have invested so much time and energy in their attempts to undermine national sovereignty as seen in Hong Kong today, not only have their plans to overthrow Bashar al Assad, and President Maduro failed, but even their simpler objectives to foment separatist movements among ethnic minorities in China collapsed miserably.

The Case of Hong Kong and the BRI. In the case of Hong Kong, a former British colony still infested with deep-seated Anglo-American intelligence and banking ties, the commitment to join the BRI began to arise as early as 2016 with the first BRI Summit that since became an annual event.

The 4th annual Hong Kong Belt and Road Summit took place from September 10-11 featuring 5800 guests from business, academia, finance and non-governmental organizations committed to accelerating Hong Kong's involvement with the BRI. Mrs. Lam, as well as leaders of China's government addressed the opening assembly making the point that Hong Kong's future lies in participation in this win-win alliance.

Xie Feng, commissioner of the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Hong Kong went the furthest in his remarks calling out the foreign influences manipulating Hong Kong saying "Foreign forces have intervened, distorting the truth, and trying to protect those in the wrong and let them get away with it. With this continuous intervention of black hands, violence cannot stop and the rule of law cannot be upheld."

"Among the many presentations, a highly attended panel discussion stood out like a sore thumb on the theme of Geopolitical Risks of the Belt and Road Initiative featuring four Oxford-trained speakers led by Sir Richard Shirreff, former NATO Supreme Commander for Europe and moderated by Andrew Weir, Chairman of the Listing Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Global BRI Forum and honored"Member of the British Empire".

Of course, what these arguments propose is merely that China's BRI become the instrument for a British-run new world order which the failing Anglo-American system was originally meant to be.

If, on the other hand, you are a member of the human species and have faith that we were created for something better, then you might want to applaud China's Belt and Road Initiative, celebrate Hong Kong's participation in it, and hope your nation joins if it hasn't done so yet.
