Trump himself has not said anything against China when it comes to what is going on in HK. Even when asked he smartly took the time to blast Kerr and Pops than offer his own thoughts on what's happening there. If China is such a brutal, repressive regime let's cut off all ties with them. Let's cut off ties with Saudi Arabia. Let's cut off ties with Pakistan for all their support of terrorism. Let's cut off ties with India for their lock down of Kashmir currently.
When we cut off everyone, let's also explain patiently to others why we have the moral high ground when it comes to drone bombings that have killed a lot of innocent civilians; let's explain how we have propped up dictatorial regimes in different parts of the world; let's explain why minorities here have a higher chance of getting longer prison sentences, a higher chance of getting pulled over by cops, and a higher chance of getting shot when pulled over.
International politics has always been based on mutual needs and convenience. Why expect coaches and players to be the flag bearers for change there? And again, flag bearers of what exactly when there can be criticism levied at the US too?
