Rob - this is a 'commentary' in The Global Times, which the China government has allowed to be in the news media, and many in the government might agree with the commentary, but it's not an official statement by the government of China. This post title and en-volve.com are misleading, at best, or also false.

Thank you, however, for the en-volve.com link, as I hadn't known of the website. Seems it belongs in the /s/ShitpostNews list. I'll keep reading.

And regarding the potential conservative mantra of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', one would think that Soros's support for Hong Kong, and the way that he angered China (gov), is very good. He supports very good causes, especially causes that are pro-democracy. So the right-wing hatred for Soros is also revealing of how much people on the 'right' want to reduce democracy, to reduce your role in the potential improvement of government legislation against the abuses of corporate and wealthy donors. Follow the money.
