Cotton: ‘It Would Be a Grave Mistake of Historic Proportions’
Tuesday during an appearance on the Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) warned China against acting on protesters in Hong Kong with a show of force, especially with armed police and the People’s Liberation Army.
The Arkansas Republican said any action could further damage China’s relationship with the United States.
“Let me reiterate my message from your show last week,” Cotton said.
“It would be a grave mistake of historic proportions if Beijing were to flood into Hong Kong with the people’s armed police and the People’s Liberation Army to crack down on Hong Kongers.
"If Beijing cracked down on Hong Kong, it would require a fundamental reassessment of our relation with their country, the kind that should have happened after Tiananmen Square.”
But apparently not war, anyway.
