When did the UK promise to protect Hong Kong fugitives from China?
They can’t even protect their own streets. But apparently, they’re supposed to be bodyguards for Hong Kong’s “heroes.” Good luck with that!!

America and its contractors divert F-35 parts to Hong Kong.
Bloomberg headline:
CHINA IS HOLDING SENSITIVE F-35 PARTS.
Amazing.
The smuggling route fails, and suddenly the destination becomes the criminal.
China: apparently the mastermind behind every American screw-up.

Britain spent years romanticizing political upheaval in Hong Kong as “democracy,” “self-determination” and “the will of the people.”
Now Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland invoke the same language at home and suddenly the vocabulary changes:
break-up. constitutional crisis. security vacuum. lost oil. lost nuclear bases.
Funny how “self-determination” becomes terrifying the moment the empire has to apply it to itself.
Freedom for Hong Kong was a principle.
Freedom for Scotland, Wales and Ireland is apparently a threat assessment.
The British Empire never abandoned double standards.
It just lost the empire.

🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇳 China may have gotten its hands on valuable F-35 stealth technology, and it didn't take an elaborate spy operation. A shipping mix-up did the job.
In late May, a UPS shipment carrying a cockpit canopy and weapons-bay door from an Australian F-35A was supposed to head to the U.S. for repairs.
Instead, it went through South Korea and ended up in Hong Kong, where Chinese authorities reportedly seized the parts and didn’t return them.
The apparent culprit? An email warning about export restrictions that reportedly went unnoticed.
Australia insists the parts weren't sensitive.
But here's the interesting bit: both were coated in radar-absorbing material, and the canopy uses a specialized coating that only the U.S. and its partners have access to.
Australia can't even repair it locally.
A single canopy isn't going to hand China the F-35's stealth secrets.
But getting physical access to those coatings could help Chinese engineers study their composition, test how they interact with radar, and check whether their existing intelligence about the jet is accurate.
Think of it as getting a few missing pieces of a puzzle you've already spent years trying to solve.
We don't know whether China has actually examined or exploited the parts, but the opportunity alone is significant.
And there's a much bigger problem lurking behind this particular shipping disaster.
A 2023 U.S. government audit found that the F-35 program couldn't independently track its global spare-parts inventory.
A contractor had lost more than 1 MILLION spare parts worth over $85 million, and most of those losses were never reported to the program office.
That's quite an oversight for one of the world's most sophisticated fighter jets.
The F-35 relies on a sprawling international supply chain, with components manufactured, shipped and repaired across more than a dozen countries.
Every transfer creates another opportunity for something to go missing, get misdirected or end up somewhere it absolutely shouldn't.
And when those components contain technology designed to make a fighter jet difficult to detect, a logistics failure can quickly become an intelligence problem.

NEPTUNE GROUP LIMITED
As a side note, Chen Zhi’s Big Bro, Hu Xiaowei’s stake in HKE Holdings was ultimately sold to an entity linked to Cheuk-chiu Lin, the controlling figure behind Neptune Group Limited ( widely known in industry circles as the “junket king of offshore gaming.” The buyer was his son, Ho Man Lin.
Lin Ho Man acquired HKE Holdings through Flourish Nation Enterprises Limited, with the apparent objective of pivoting into crypto-related businesses.
Doesn't this plot seem incredibly familiar?
Public records indicate that in the 1990s, Lien Cheuk-chiu was involved with the Hong Kong triad society "Lee Chun"., initially through casino junket operations and smuggling activities in Macau.
In the late 1990s, Lien Cheok Chao and Zhang Zhitai began jointly operating the offshore casino vessel “Neptune.”
In 2005, the Lin family and Zhang Zhitai (Jumbo Boom Holdings Limited ) took control of a HKEX–listed company previously owned by Edward Chen, the father of Edison Chen.
They subsequently injected their flagship “Neptune” gaming vessel into the listed entity, rebranding it as Neptune Group ( thereby establishing a foothold in the capital markets.
Both Cheuk-chiu Lin and his son hail from the Chaoshan region, a network long associated with tightly knit business circles.
The Neptune cruise ship is the dream destination for many Chaoshan tycoons, bar none.
According to a 2002 criminal judgment issued by the Jiangmen Intermediate People’s Court, several individuals—including Yan Xilong, Lian Yuqi, Chen Dekun, Xu Liexiong, and Yan Xiaowu—were convicted of illegal business operations related to underground banking and money laundering activities.
In that same judgment, Cheuk-chiu Lin and Hong Kong auto dealer Lin Yiming were identified as primary financiers behind the underground banking network but were listed as “handled separately,” allowing them to avoid prosecution at the time.
In 2008, Cheuk-chiu Lin was thrust back into the spotlight for allegedly laundering at least 800 million RMB for Huang Guangyu.
Many people were imprisoned in Huang Guangyu's case that year.
In November 2008, Huang Guangyu was charged in Beijing, remaining tight-lipped; while Cheuk-chiu Lin was charged in Xiamen in December 2008, after which he reported several people.
Subsequently, Cheuk-chiu Lin quietly returned to Hong Kong and disappeared from public view.
