America's leaders want to use Hong Kong to stoke conflict with China and score points at home.
Apple Daily started two years before Hong Kong's return to China in 1997.
We have to point out that Trump's account and Parler pose much less of a constitutional challenge to the US than what Apple Daily posed to Hong Kong's constitutional system.
Last February, Revolver warned that Washington's mass crackdown in response to 1/6 would gut its credibility and, in the long run, fatally undermine its attempt to project moral authority abroad. America's intensified censorship regime has substantially undermined if not entirely evaporated America's "Moral authority." The significance of this cannot be overstated.
Saying that America has relinquished its moral authority is not to say that America has always operated morally from an objective point of view.
America didn't "Lose" its moral authority.
Until America has new leaders who actually respect the rights of the people they rule, that moral authority will not be coming back.
