The Chinese Communist Party's iron grip on Hong Kong has reached a new low as Beijing's handpicked puppet government began prosecuting pro-democracy activists whose only 'crime' was remembering the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
Under China's draconian 'national security law' - a piece of tyrannical legislation that has effectively ended Hong Kong's autonomy - the CCP is targeting leaders of the group that organized peaceful candlelight vigils to honor those slaughtered by communist forces 37 years ago.
Think about that for a moment, Patriots. In Communist China, simply remembering the victims of government violence is now a prosecutable offense. This is what happens when authoritarian regimes are allowed to crush freedom of speech and assembly without consequence.
Hong Kong's Freedom Dies in Darkness
The trial represents yet another nail in the coffin of Hong Kong's once-vibrant democracy movement. What was once a beacon of freedom in Asia has been transformed into just another oppressed territory under Beijing's boot heel.
These brave Hongkongers committed no violence, threatened no one, and simply sought to keep alive the memory of their fellow citizens who dared to stand up to communist tyranny. For this, they now face the full weight of China's surveillance state and kangaroo court system.
The CCP's message is clear: even peaceful remembrance of their past atrocities will not be tolerated.
This prosecution should serve as a wake-up call to every American who still believes we can simply ignore China's growing aggression. The same regime that crushes Hong Kong's patriots is the one buying up American farmland, infiltrating our universities, and stealing our technology.
President Trump has consistently stood up to Communist China's bullying tactics, and this latest outrage proves why his America First approach is exactly what we need. While previous administrations coddled Beijing, Trump recognized the CCP for what it truly is: our greatest geopolitical threat.
How long will the free world stand by and watch as Communist China systematically destroys every vestige of liberty in Hong Kong? And when will Americans wake up to the reality that we're next on their list?
