America doesn't speak for Hong Kong and many people don't want America sticking its nose deep into their business especially through someone breaking the law by acting as a pseudo-foreign agent.

The irony is that Trump getting involved in pressuring for the release of Jimmy Lai just makes him look even more like an American asset.

That's the tragedy of Hong Kong. They never got the sympathy of the mainland.

And I cannot escape the feeling that a lot of Americans believe that a democratic China would be friends with the US...

Who exactly is "friends" with the US at the moment? Maybe Israel?

In Trumps world it mostly seems you are either an asset or a liability. They do no want a multipolar world.
