ODD or straight shooter

What conspiracy theories play on the fears surrounding the Coronavirus? My reply:    Many US Senator Tom Cotton and ex-adviser to POTUS Steve Bannon said the virus was from Chinese biowarfare lab. Even NY Times and Washington Post said it’s a fringe theory without evidence. The most absurd being from China haters that the virus was deliberately released to stop HK protests. One Canadian  netizen  opined that based on previous newspaper reports  linking  CIA to the swine flu attack on Cuba, origin of the virus from US was not impossible. There has been a case where a Canadian got infected from Iran without going to China or any places near China, and Iran is a US target. It was reported the Ministry of Health of Russia issued a statement that covid19 was manufactured (cannot find this on English media). Taiwan and other anti-communist channels took it as pointing to China and made a lot of noise. However, HK democrat newspaper the Apple Daily ...

What issue created the protests in Hong Kong?   Superficially, the issue seems arising from fighting for universal suffrage. Western politicians, media, and HK democrats all accuse China of not keeping promises under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law. This is not true and intentionally misleading. The  Basic Law  (constitution) of  Hong Kong  states: The method for selecting the Chief Executive shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress. The ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative  nominating committee  in accordance with democratic procedures Note the key points: “in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress” “ nominating committee ” Then came the 2014 NPCSC ( National People's Congress   Standing Comm...

Why is the extradition bill with China so controversial in Hong Kong? Currently, Hong Kong has operating extradition agreements with 18 countries as follows: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, US, Philippines, India, Netherlands, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Portugal, South Korea, Ireland, Germany, South Africa and Finland. But no agreement with Taiwan, China and Macau. The latter situation is particular abnormal as HK is part of China. It all started when a HK resident murdered his girlfriend during a tour to Taiwan. The suspect returned to HK and was caught for using the credit card of the victim. On trial in HK, the suspect admitted killing the girl in Taiwan. Due to jurisdiction issue, he could not be tried for murder or manslaughter, but was sentenced to 2 yrs’ imprisonment for fraud. HK intended to send him to Taiwan after serving the prison terms for the killing, thus the extradition bill amendment to include Taiwan, China and Macau. A HK business...
