Singapore's Foreign Minister points out that Western media coverage is biased against China.
Key points highlighted.
1) Hong Kong did not have democracy during 150 years of British rule, yet the British Government are now talking as if there was democracy. I don't understand what moral authority the British Government has to speak on this topic. None whatsoever.
2) Beijing's proposal to let Hong Kong choose its own leader from a list of vetted leaders is far more than what British ever gave Hong Kong.
3) Universal Suffrage was not included in the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984, the agreement that cemented the terms of the handover.
Foreign Minister Shanmugam has warned that China will be firm. The Chinese Communist Party cannot let a small Hong Kong derail their power in China. I hope the Hong Kongers know what is coming.
Thanks for reading.
