rotest against the Hong Kong extradi-
tion bill has been used by the opposi-
tion to create a violent movement,
evident in a series of violent attacks against
the Legislative Council, national emblem
and innocent civilians, bringing chaos and
disruption to Hong Kong’s public order and
aff ecting its economy.
It is obvious that what the opposition to
the extradition bill opposes is not a simple
amendment, but the rule of law in Hong
Kong. It seeks to challenge the central
government and make Hong Kong “inde-
pendent.”
As demonstrations by extremist forces in
Hong Kong grow increasingly violent, the
intervention of foreign forces has become
more apparent. However, such intervention
cannot grow in Hong Kong society without
the cooperation and assistance of a group
of traitors. Jimmy Lai Chee-ying and Martin
Lee Chu-ming are representatives of this
group of traitors.
From last year to this year, these so-called
democratic leaders have had unprecedented
levels of contacts with the US government
and Western parliaments, forming increas-
ingly brazen collusion that has fueled the
expansion of street politics in Hong Kong.
Since past centuries, traitors have always
played a special role in confl ict between
China and foreign powers. In addition to di-
rectly serving external forces that invade and
suppress China, their role usually includes
destroying the internal solidarity of the
Chinese people and helping external forces
brainwash the Chinese people. Jimmy Lai
Chee-ying and Martin Lee Chu-ming are
typical examples of modern traitors.US intervention
In March and May, major representa-
tives of the Hong Kong rebellion, including
Anson Chan Fang On-sang and Martin Lee
Chu-ming, both of whom received dona-
tions from Jimmy Lai Chee-ying, led the
Civic Party in Hong Kong to meet with US
Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and
US Vice President Mike Pence, starting an
international war of public opinion againstthe extradition bill.
In a provocative move by the Apple
Daily, a Hong Kong-based newspaper
founded in 1995 by Jimmy Lai Chee Ying,
a leafl et that could be used as a protest sign
for rioters in the fi eld was published in the
paper.
Hong Kong is fi ghting for the US, ac-
cording to a US media report published
within a week after Lai’s meeting with
senior US offi cials.
“Lai did not elaborate what kind of sup-
port US offi cials have committed, instead,
he said that the US offi cials well understand
Hong Kong is fi ghting for the US in the
new cold war,” said Voice of America on
July 12 in its Chinese version.
“Mike Pence and Michael Pompeo met
Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai Chee-
ying, in some way that is a symbol that the
US’ strategy in Hong Kong has succeeded,
Lai was there to claim an award from the
US,” Chan Man-hung, director of the One
Belt One Road Research Institute at the Chu
Hai College of Higher Education in Hong
Kong, was quoted as saying in an interview
with Hong Kong-based media outlet takung-
pao.com on July 24.
Chan said that the US has been proac-
tively intervening in protests against an
extradition bill that would allow criminal
suspects to be extradited to the Chinese
mainland, Macao, and the island of Taiwan,and that Lai was overseeing implementation
of the protests.
Taking a close look at the protests and
aftermath in Hong Kong, people will
notice all approaches match a typical color
revolution such as gaining sponsorship
from the US, fostering leaders, establishing
political parties and organizations aimed at
subverting the government, brainwashing
Hong Kong society with extreme “Western
values,” leveraging emergencies to carry
out street-level political activities, leveraging
media to create fake news, forging so-called
public opinion and coercing the govern-
ment, Chan pointed out.
A color revolution is planned after long-
term preparation, and it takes a while to
make sure it can be used to deal with China,
Chan said in another interview with takung-
pao.com on July 6.
Now with trade tensions have increased
between the US and China, it is obvi-
ous that the US regards China as its No.
enemy. Therefore, the US has launched
a comprehensive attack on Hong Kong at
both the international level and the internal
level, Chan pointed out.
Besides local people in Hong Kong
initiating protests, foreign consulates have
participated with the cooperation of foreign
media, Chan said.
Chan also confi rmed that the US has
accumulated forces by training a group of
people who are directly engaged in demon-
strations.
