The
thirtieth anniversary of the 1989 Tienanmen
Square Massacre of peaceful pro-democracy
protesters by the Chinese Communist Government was earlier this month. As usual, there was a small commemoration of
it in Hong Kong one in the Republic of China on Taiwan , and none in Communist
China, which does not tolerate dissent and refused to acknowledge the atrocity.
There was a mass protest in the
special administrative territory today against Peking ’s
extradition law that threatens deportation to the mainland of dissidents. The former British territory had been
promised upon reversion to China
from the United Kingdom in
1997 that it could keep its system of the free market, liberty and
representative government, but China
has been asserting more and more control and suppressing dissent.
After the
Sudanese transitional Government attacked peaceful protesters last week, it
annulled its agreement to include the opposition in the transition toward
elections. There has been a wave of
arrests of the democratic opposition.
The
resignation as Conservative Party leader by United Kingdom Prime Minister
Theresa May has taken effect, initializing the campaign for the leadership of
the Tories. Her premiership will end by
the time a new successor is chosen by the end of July, who will become the next
Prime Minister of the U.K. The withdrawal from the European Union is the
mean reason for her resignation and the main subject of the campaign to succeed
her. The deal May negotiated was thrice
rejected by Parliament, although by a much smaller margin the third time. At issue are several matters, especially the
border with the Irish
Republic
