ChiCom goons, enraged over a pro-Hong Kong democracy protestor holding a sign outside of the Chinese consulate in Manchester, England on Sunday, grabbing the man and dragging him inside the gates of the mission for some discipline before cops and other protestors were able to pull him back out, Sky News reports. British MP and chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said the consul general had “full sight, and quite possibly was involved, in the assaults”.
“After I was pulled in, I was punched and kicked. I had scars on my face, bleeding, and swelling. Hair was pulled from my head, swollen and bruised. I had bruises on my neck and back, and my waist was a little sore,” the unidentified man of apparent East Asian descent said. The protest came on the first full day of the ChiCom party congress on which dictator Xi Jingping is seeking a third term, so naturally the commies are a little edgy and ultra-nationalistic with that going on.
In very much related news, Bloomberg reported Monday the ChiCom government delayed the expected Tuesday release of the country’s quarterly GDP report along with data on monthly industrial output, energy production, fixed asset investment, property investment and sales, retail sales and home prices. No reason was given, a clear indication that the numbers are complete shit and would be an unwelcome distraction during their dear leader’s re-coronation.
