The city was almost destroyed in 2019. Remember the molotov cocktails? The petrol bombs? The universities that turned into war zones? The vandalism of all kinds of public property?

I don't like many of the things the Hong Kong government is doing, but I can understand why they feel they need to do it.

Congrats Guillermo and team! Well deserved.

There are certainly a lot of commentators predicting that some kind of military conflict will happen over Taiwan in the next decade.

If it happens, it'll be the closest we get to World War III, so hopefully cooler heads will prevail.

Unfortunately it's like sports teams. People's lenses are colored by which team they're on, and it's hard to be objective.

I'm actually sad that the one country two systems experiment looks like it's over, at least the political side, not the economic side. But you can't run a city if there are months of people rioting on the streets.

In DC, it was a riot, but in Hong Kong it was merely a protest, right?

And only in one of those cities were there gasoline bombs thrown on the street.
