Twenty years ago yesterday, Hong Kong was surrendered to the Chinese Communist Party. I was there, and the sense of impending doom was profound. 

 

And with good reason. Four years ago yesterday, the CCP began in earnest what Barack Obama would call a “fundamental transformation” of Hong Kong. Now, it’s just another enslaved Chinese city.

 

This anniversary compels reflection about what the Chinese Communists would do to Taiwan – or, for that matter, us – if they can. 

It also shows us what domestic Marxist Democrats are trying to engineer here.

 

Yesterday too, Steve Bannon went to federal prison. Beforehand, he told Tucker Carlson we’re in a “war” with the people running Joe Biden and fundamentally transforming America. He described himself as a “prisoner of war.” 

 

Make no mistake: The Communists, foreign and domestic, want to do the same to the rest of us.
