“I do think that this is more complicated than you’re making it.”

shocking that someone employing an MLK quote on social media did not actually mean it

It goes even further than that. The words “territorial integrity” and “sovereignty” are not only code for dominion over Hong Kong, but Taiwan as well. The Tsai statement supports that code. Likewise, the NBA statement also included Taipei in the list of Chinese cities where the league does business, a subtle nod to…

I mean, the Chinese government literally said “we do not believe in freedom of speech.” So it really ISN'T very complicated.

1.4 billion Chinese citizens stand united when it comes to the territorial integrity of China and the country’s sovereignty over her homeland.
