Extradition paused

The Hong Kong government has suspended its highly controversial plan to allow extraditions to mainland China, Chief Executive Carrie Lam has announced.

The protests have had an effect.

This is not the end of the bill, just a pause to think, but it might be the pause the protesters need to get their case heard.

Hong Kong protests

There have been huge protests in Hong Kong against extradition.

A new law that is going to pass would allow extradition to China of Hong Kong criminals and even foreign nationals travelling through there.

This is yet more in the fight for Hong Kong to retain its independence from China.

Their protests have born fruit in the past, let’s hope they do again.

This law would be a terrible thing for Hong Kong.

Jobs vs the Environment?

As Manchester dusts itself off and attempts to move through their grief and pay respect to lost lives, Donald Trump has a hissy fit over American jobs.

He is pulling America out of the climate deal, citing a threat to jobs as the problem.

Yet America has been involved in a trade war with China over solar panel production.

So. It only do they have the potential to produce and market environmentally friendly energy sources they can seemingly do so competitively.

Perhaps he should re-think his reasoning.
