    I’ve previously asked something similar in a different post like a week ago. Why do people keep referring to Hong Kong as a place the US could intervene?

    Taiwan, I understand, the status there is unclear and the US sells weapons and provides other military aid.

    Hong Kong though? What exactly are people imagining the US would do under any administration, when most countries have the One China Principle (including the US) as official foreign policy?

    As much as the people of Hong Kong may or may not like it depending on their own views, basically no country has come out in support of any independence for the region. Like it or not, Hong Kong is part of China, and I don’t foresee any country seriously intervening in any way in China’s one country, now more like 1.5 systems, 2 systems arrangement.

    Can someone explain this random talking point? I just don’t understand.
