JOSHUA WONG, the poster boy for the US-backed Hong Kong riots, was arrested today on new charges under the Chinese territory’s national security law, as the authorities move against the main instigators of the 2019 disorder.
Mr Wong, who is already serving a 13-and-a-half month sentence for his role in the disturbances, was taken back to prison after giving a short statement.
His now disbanded Demosisto party was bankrolled by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which was established in 1983 “to do today what was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA,” according to the regime-change outfit’s founder Allen Weinstein.

However, critical debate is missing and much of what has become gospel is untrue or misrepresentation.
This especially given how, in Russia itself, the tale is difficult to digest, even for Putin-critics, many of whom see more holes in the story than you d find in Swiss cheese. Especially given how frequently the facts, as presented by the US/UK (and, in this case, also by German) media, and by Navalny s team themselves, seem to change.
