  • Hong Kong and the Audacity of the United States By Peter Koenig

    People often ask and hint at the similarities between the Hong Kong protests and the French Yellow Vests. The former started on 31 March and are approaching their 19th week – the Yellow Vests (YV) have celebrated last weekend their 40th week of protests. As of recently some voices of Macron-infiltrates into the YV movement – or… Continue reading

  • It’s all going pear-shaped

    With perfect timing, just as the summit meeting of the leaders of the top capitalist economies (G7) met in Biarritz, France, China announced a new round of tariffs on $75bn of US imported goods.

    Recently, the NEO has been looking at the situation in and around Hong Kong from different angles.
