US 'master plan' to destroy HK fails

With the predictable remorselessness of a bad Hollywood movie script, Washington's "game plan" to destroy the prosperity of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and attempt to use it to wreck the stability and prosperity of China itself continues to grind along, though its clichés and lies are becoming increasingly more obvious to the entire world.

Although the riots continued in the SAR for more than five months, the rioters had been losing support after their main complaint - amendment to the extradition law - was addressed.

This of course did not end the protests but only exacerbated them. Demands of the protesters became ever more amorphous and sweeping. But the extremely patient resolution of the police and security forces continues to maintain law and order.
