China tells U.S. to remove 'black hands' from Hong Kong
2019-07-23
BEIJING (Reuters) - China accused U.S. officials on Tuesday of being behind violent protests in Hong Kong and advised them to remove their "black hands" from the territory.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying made the comment at a news briefing in Beijing, when asked about the Hong Kong protests.

Escalating violence in the city over the weekend opened new fronts in its crisis over an extradition bill that could see people from the territory sent to China for trial in Communist Party-controlled courts.

#7  Let's see.. The Triads predate the Chinese in US Chinatowns. The Triads likely predate the founding of the United States. So the Triads are not a US concoction.
Hong Kong was a UK Crown Colony granted to the UK, vaguely sometime in the Opium Wars timeframe.
The US has NEVER run Hong Kong. The US has Never run the Triads...
So, why are they asking the US to clean up a China born syndicate older than the USA?

#5  Aren't the triads known as the "Black Hand"? Is this an attempt to blame the U.S. for the triad violence?

#3  Considering the crap China has pulled with the US and interfering in everything domestically here...

I believe the correct response is, "Eat a bag of dicks."

#2  Perhaps Foreign minister Hua Chunying would enjoy a briefing on the future transfer of the $2.6 billion USS South Dakota (SSN 790) to Taiwan.
