‘Biden warning will only do more harm, US businesses say’ | SCMP

Today’s front page

Remember what Robert Gates, Obama’s Defence Secretary, said about Joe Biden: that he had been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades”. [Link]

In office now as President — after 47 years in government — Biden is keeping his record intact. He pulls out of Afghanistan precipitately, leaving it to the murderous Taliban. Did he need to leave right now, so fast? No. He claimed that Afghanistan army could maintain territory and stability. Everyone in the know knows that’s a lie.

Now he calls for boycott of business here in Hong Kong. Like the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act (HKHRDA) before it, this move — arguably well-intentioned — will increase harm on Hong Kong. As American businesses are telling him. The business reps express “shock”. They shouldn’t be shocked. If they’d been paying attention, rather than hating on Trump, they might have noted Gates’ observation. (Not that Trump was any better on HK, mind). The article. 

Click Label HKHRDA below for previous articles I’ve posted on harm done while trying to “help”us. That’s the road to hell… paved with good intentions. (Parenthetically, I’m not even sure they do have good intentions. More like trying to harm China and we’re collateral damage)
