Who's house did they break into, why, and was it connected to what they were involved in
Hong Kong intelligence ?
Surely you mean China ?
OH, I forgot – Macron is big friends with China, so France 24 pushes pro-China propaganda
😅 UK cooking drama just like Canada.
What do you expect. Lying and spying is the norm for Communist China. Communist China is not your friend. You were told this about Russia. How did that work out? Sanctions with exceptions? Still LMAO 🤣 😂 😆 over that one.
I bet there'll be a TV drama on this, probably featuring Benedict Wong again lol
So UK was blaming Hong Kong passed "National Security Law" when she really had one?
That was why all Hong Kongers are scared under CCP control system. Almost all oversea Chinese media was control by CCP group. CCP using those media keep transfer CCP valves voice daily to keep brain wash local Chinese follow China policy. (TikTok etc app is very dangerous as soft land weapon)
