I just made this post on the Hong Kong People’s Alliance on WTO blog. It is in response to their shameful appeal for support of the Korean farmers’ disgraceful actions. It is awaiting moderation on their site.
"You and your people are an absolute disgrace to Hong Kong. I believe the police acted with proper restraint in protecting their lives and property. At the same time it detracts from the WTO where people in poor countries have a chance to improve their lives with less tariffs and subsidies – in the developed and less developed world. People coming to Hong Kong should ask why has this city gone from a small fishing village to a world class economy – entirely because there are virtually no tariffs and virtually no subsidies. We have the rule of law – and it is working to arrest the troublemakers that were invited to Hong Kong (Did your organization bring them.) For the sake of our prosperity I strongly urge you to end these protests and put pressure instead on ALL countries to end tariffs and subsidies. Urge governments to open up their markets and to set up systems that are built on the rule of law, not the rule of man. I.e. Capitalism!"
