Pretty much a 'yes I do, but...' on this matter.

Applying some critical thinking to this matter. While I hold no love for any form of communism or its marxist derivatives and therefore support the rights of Hong Kong and Taiwan to be free of such, I do think there is some really seedy and questionable involvement that needs to be considered carefully.

The involvement of the white hats, CIA, and several other governments and politicians, it is enough to think that this isn't all just the people of Hong Kong all on their own at this point. It might have started out like that, but it doesn't look like its going to evolve that way. There is already a good past example in history to pull from. The CIA getting involved in Tibet in the 1960's was a similar movement against the Chinese government.

I respect the desires of the people of Hong Kong, but with those outside influences involved, I don't trust the root of the movement. Some things just aren't passing the sniff test. I can guess at who is involved and the reasons behind why and what their involvement nets them. Each has a different reason and a different thing to gain. It isn't unusual that those with differing agendas will all agree upon the same course of action because such an action aligns at the time. I believe that every outside influence involved in these protests has their own agenda and I don't put it past them all to agree upon involvement now and sort out their prizes along with who wins the agenda war later.

If the past is anything to go from, no one is going to win from this, and it certainly is not going to be the people of Hong Kong. Although, I really hope they could.

Neither the US or UK militaries should become involved or entangled in any of this. It is not our land, people, or culture. Freedom and democracy can't be forced onto a people, they have to fight for it themselves. What I can do, is support the democracy and freedoms in my own country which are being attacked by the chinese government through its influence in our business and economy. Since they are using money to do it, then I can do the same. Where possible, I refuse to buy the products or use the services of businesses and people that choose to march to the drum of communist regimes like China when it cracks its whip to try and control or censor the freedoms of those of us outside its boundaries. If enough of us did that, it would have a very large impact on these western businesses who refuse to represent our values and customs over the desires of that communist hell hole.
