Court case mirrors US world police mentality

The Hong Kong government has issued a statement in response to yet another example of wanton interference by the US government in the special administrative region's internal affairs.

After the start of a trial of three leaders of radical student groups, charged with leading the illegal intrusion and occupation of the SAR government complex that triggered the "Occupy Central" movement in November 2014, the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China posted a statement on its official website.

In its statement the CECC not only showers the three men who are accused of illegally breaking and entering into the official complex with praise and encouragement, it also dictates how the court should handle the case involving "political" figures that Washington apparently has a special interest in.
