Empress Ho Ching's stand in US China showdown.

Temasek CEO Ho Ching has set tongues wagging again by sharing on Facebook a political cartoon on Monday, June 1.

Cartoon depicting perceived U.S. hypocrisy

The comic, first published on local Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao earlier that day, depicts United States President Donald Trump with two completely different reactions to the protests happening in his own country, versus the protests happening in Hong Kong.

In the comic, he was drawn denouncing protesters in Minneapolis as "rioters" for setting fires to and destroying property, yet praising Hong Kong protesters for doing the same in the next frame, calling it "democracy".

Trump himself has been criticised by Democrats and other Americans for the way he is dealing with the protests that erupted over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed African American man whose neck was knelt on by a white police officer.

Across our country, Americans are protesting for an end to the pattern of racial injustice and brutality we saw most recently in the murder of #GeorgeFloyd. Yet, at a time when our country cries out for unification, this President is ripping it apart.



China calling out the U.S. for its "double standards"

The cartoon, which was subsequently carried by Chinese state media, such as Global Times, echoed the Chinese foreign ministry in its accusation towards the U.S. for its "double standards" in the way it handled protests at home and in Hong Kong.

The U.S. has announced the revocation of Hong Kong's special trading status following Beijing's move to go about implementing a national security law in Hong Kong.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying tweeted a news report on the "thugs and heroes hypocrisy" that the U.S. appeared to be displaying.

Praised by many Singaporeans and Chinese

Widely shared in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Ho's post sparked fierce debate, perhaps due to her prominent position as the wife of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Ho was praised by many Singaporean and mainland Chinese social media users, who see the cartoon as aptly describing the U.S.'s two-faced attitude when it comes to domestic and foreign matters.

We'll see how smug she is when Temasek's investments in China go up in smoke. Even the 158th propagandist machinery won't be able to spin their way out of it.

This PM's wife is truly admirable. On the matters of Hong Kong and Taiwan, she has always stood on the side of mainland China. Respect! I wish her a long life!"

However, unsurprisingly, she was panned by Hong Kong pro-democracy supporters.

Taiwanese media Taiwan News, reporting on the matter, claimed that she has "drawn the ire" of the Taiwanese

Local public intellectual and retired diplomat Bilahari Kausikan, weighing in on the matter of the U.S. having "double standards", said while it is true, such an attitude is not out of place for major powers, China included.

Earlier controversy

Ho has previously stirred debate with her "errrr...." comment on an article that highlighted Taiwan's donation of face masks to Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore.

Underlying her comment was perhaps the difficulty ST Engineering experienced in bringing home the face masks it manufactured in Taiwan, as well as the machinery used to produce the masks.

However, the sharing of the comic was seen by many Taiwanese and some Singaporeans as an inconsiderate remark in response to a kind gesture that might be better seen as friendly cooperation between Taiwan and Singapore.

Ho sparked controversy again a few days later with another Facebook post that recounted a story she heard from a Singaporean about a pleasant experience with Taiwan.

However, accompanying the text was a political commentary video that discussed about the earlier controversy with Taiwan.

The video happened to have an image of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen with some unflattering words on it, which Ho subsequently apologised for.

She has placed a big bet.
Let see what happens when ccp collapses

This is a crash course for those dimwits who think what happened in Hong Kong and the USA (e.g. Minnesota) have any equivalency.

 

[PretenderSam]

goons will be goons forever , particularly those sbf goons. HC just illustrating the truth. What she stated is exactly what americunt trump
had said. It is not she's putting words into trump's mouth. So what wrong with that ?

 

[Leongsam]

It's just political spin.

I don't think Trump has any problems with protestors from any country.

What he is condemning are the rioters and looters and I'm sure this would apply to HK as well.

As is the case in both countries the ones that turn protests into riots and looting are the plants from political organisations. In HK it was the CCP. In USA it is antifa.

Fug ccp

wow! all you guys are missing the essence of the differences between the two.

Yeah in both there are a whole bunch of people getting mad at the government and demonstrating. But that's where the similarities end.

In the case of George Floyd, the fucking policeman effectively ended some poor niggaz' life. The populace was up in arms and protested and then a good number of them decided to take advantage of the mess and started stealing and looting stuff as is common in US riots.

In the case of HK, the Hongkies don't want to be governed by China. Whether they have a choice or not or who owns who is not the point in a demonstration. They don' want it. Tell me, how many stores were looted in HK?

Still don't get it?

Let's turn this around.

If a Chinese policeman killed a tiongster or even more accurately an Uyghur like that, do you think you would even hear about it let alone be able to protest like that? They will incarcerate and punish anybody who dares even spread the news about it.

If you protest like the Hongkies did in the US, what would happen? You would get a police escort if your demonstration was threatened with violence because you have a right to peaceful protest.

WTF? Can no one figure the difference out??

edit : I just realized that I'm also criticizing the empress. shit.

I don't understand why penalize the policemen for carrying out their duties. No one will dare to make an arrest "just in case" situation may get out of hand.

She can criticise USA president but we citizens cannot even criticise Sinkieland PM?

protocol is quite well-established in US. For example, they cannot fire a gun unless they believe their life is being threatened, Of course being front-line policeman there is harder than in sinkieland, but there is ample evidence in broad daylight this guy exceeded his capacity.

that's known as a totalitarian shithole.
