From the same New York Times that fired an editor over a column by Sen. Tom Cotton.
The New York Times on Thursday published an opinion column authored by Regina Ip, a Hong Kong official the paper once described as “Beijing’s enforcer” in the city, calling for Hong Kong to accept its relationship with China as “destiny.”
“No amount of outcry, condemnation or sanctions over the Chinese government’s purported encroachment in Hong Kong’s affairs will alter the fact that Hong Kong is part of China and that its destiny is intertwined with the mainland’s,” Ip wrote. Noting Hong Kong “has been rocked” by protests, Ip said, China was right to pass a “national security” law in June allowing the government to impose life sentences on dissidents convicted of subverting state power. “Something had to be done, and the Chinese authorities did it.” […]
Ip, a member of the Executive Council and the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, is a long-time proponent of the Chinese Communist Party. A 2003 report by The Times’ Keith Bradsher noted Ip resigned that year as Hong Kong’s secretary of security, in part, because she was “widely seen as Beijing’s enforcer, sending police and immigration officers to perform sometimes politically controversial raids.”
The column came just months after The Times quietly removed advertorials placed by the state-backed China Daily. That issue became the subject of scrutiny after reporting from the Washington Free Beacon found The Times and other publications — including The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal — were running the ads, which were favorable to China’s government. Disclosures filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act revealed The Times took $50,000 for the ads in 2018 alone.
I’m reminded of all the sympathetic support for the Nazis in the thirties from progressives and fashionable supporters of eugenics. The NYT is actually consistent in their leftist sentiments. Their inner totalitarianism is quite shallow.
If it weren’t for the discovery of the concentrated camps, the left would still be singing praises for the NAZIs. Yet much of the Nazi’s platform and policies are being emulated by the left today but under the name of “liberalism”.
You can’t get more Orwellian than to use “liberalism” in modern context.
If it weren’t for the fact the Luftwaffe bombed the City of London—the financier of more than its share of socialist parties and conspiracies—the left would still be singing the praises of Adolf Hitler.
The only problem the left, and their financial backers, ever had with the death camps is that they didn’t think of them first.
They only recognized the Jewish people’s right to exist and started crying crocodile tears over the Holocaust after Israel made credible threats to nuke London, Frankfurt, Zurich and Moscow in 1973—setting off the arsenals of the Gentile nuclear powers and destroying industrial civilization. Not even George Soros ever figured out how to hedge a portfolio against the Samson Option.
And yet the banks in London Zurich Frankfurt and Moscow were all run by Jews. Weird.
No such luck, Rusty.
If pious Jews who knew the Torah and kept it ran the global banking system, refusing to lend to people for purposes the Lord found abhorrent, the world would be a much wealthier and happier place than it is.
Back in reality, those Jews who play a role in global finance are like the Gentiles who do so. They are loyal only to their bank balance. Their contempt for Judaism and the Zionists and frums of Eretz Yisroel is the stuff of legend.
(What banks in Moscow? This was 1973!)
Jew hatred doesn’t play well here.
Canadian media is no better. The Liberal Party’s Globe and Mail had a two page spread praising China.
So tell me, who the hell owns China? it sure as hell isn’t the people of China. No, I can no longer go there. Intelligence is sorely lacking.
Scum. Walter Duranty would be proud that his legacy carries on today.
