Vote Reform UK - get the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)?

A Reform UK candidate in next month’s local elections was a “de facto senior diplomat” for the government of Hong Kong until two-and-a-half years ago and praised China’s repressive national security law.

Sheung-yuen Lee, who is standing for Nigel Farage’s party in Ealing, west London, worked for the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) until November 2023.

He remained in post after Beijing imposed a requirement that all civil servants formally declare their loyalty to the Hong Kong government as part of the People’s Republic of China — a demand that prompted thousands of other civil servants to resign or retire.

Ben Rogers, chair of the Hong Kong Watch campaigning organisation, expressed concern about Lee’s candidacy.

“Having someone who until very recently worked for the Hong Kong government, including representing Hong Kong as a diplomat, standing for election at any level in this country is deeply concerning,” Rogers said.

Sounds like a witch hunt against a refugee whose utterings in Hong Kong probably saved him from arrest and trial.

I'm not sure you've understood the excerpt? It said "He remained in post after Beijing imposed a requirement that all civil servants formally declare their loyalty to the Hong Kong government as part of the People’s Republic of China — a demand that prompted thousands of other civil servants to resign or retire."

Important to also note that his boss, Hong Kong chief executive John Lee, said he would pursue dissidents ‘to the ends of the earth’.

Not when it came to not starting wars or reducing prices he didn't.

Probably not…

Lee Sheung-yuen, who worked as the director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Bangkok and Jakarta before moving to the UK in 2024, spoke in support of a national security law that made many forms of peaceful protest punishable by up to life in prison in a speech in June 2022 in Phnom Penh,

In the speech, the former government official supported Hong Kong’s “improved electoral system”, and said that since the enactment of the law in 2020, and due to the “patriots governing Hong Kong”, the territory had returned to the correct track of “one country, two systems”, The Cambodia China Times reported.

That's why his approval ratings are so high, we'll see how happy people are with what they voted for in November

The November midterms will be a complete bloodbath for the Republican party, I suspect losing control of the House is a given and possibly the Senate as well.

That assumes that the elections actually go ahead and Thump can’t find some reason to delay or cancel them. That might be a step too far even for his most loyal MAGA supporters - it may well be the push that Vance needs to involve the 25th Amendment and take over.
