Could you be more specific? Which adversaries? What are they doing? What do you expect them to do next? And how do you think that relates to the riots, or to this bill?

The low hanging fruit is China taking Hong Kong and making threats of violence against Taiwan. Also: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/30/world/asia/india-china-bo...

It doesn't relate to the riots at all. My point is these things reasonably distract leadership from the riots if we're on the razor's edge away from global nuclear war.

China has been interested in forceful reunification with Taiwan for ages. Their military has drafted up plans to retake the island numerous times over the years.

Hong Kong has largely served its purpose as a liaison to the West. So it isn't surprising that China wants to reunify with them as well.

Well, if it's what China wants then I guess it's fine.
