The Hong Kong authorities must shut down the offices of NGOs which are behind the Hong Kong rioters, ban these NGOs, seize their funds and assets, expel the NGO agents from Hong Kong and cut the funding to these U.S. and U.K. imperialist running dog rioters.

Check out who are backing the anti-China protests/riots in Hong Kong:-
"Joint solidarity statement: Stop police brutality in Hong Kong! No extradition to China!"
"Posted by thinkleftpsm on June 14, 2019"
I have checked out the positions of several western-based Trotskyite groups with regards the Hong Kong protests and find that most back the protests and are against China.
Here are some examples:-
"Hong Kong's protests in perspective"
This article reveals that it is the Confederation of Hong Kong Trade Unions (with 160,000 members) which backs the protestors, whilst the pro-China Federation of Hong Kong Trade Unions (with over 410,000 members) does not.
"Stop police brutality in HK! No extradition to China!"
"Hong Kong's One Million March – Political Strike is the Way Forward"
"Hong Kong's sharp shift to the left"
However, not all Trots are with them
That said, to be fair, whilst I oppose the Trotskyites in general myself, however there are other western-based Trotskyite groups or former Trotskyite groups which oppose the rioters/protestors and have done a good job to expose those Trotskyite groups which which back the rioters and protests in Hong Kong against China.
One of them is primarily US-based International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist) which adheres to the orthodox Trotskyite thesis that the Soviet Union under Stalin and later leaders, as well as China under Mao and later are are not capitalist but "deformed workers' states", ruled by a bureaucracy which has developed, which they on the one hand criticise but on the other defend against foreign imperialists and against capitalist restoration, whilst they advocate workers in these "deformed workers states" to undertake a political revolution to oust the bureaucracy and restore workers rule.
The Trotskyite movement has split into about seven Fourth Internationals, with conflicting positions and which often are antagonistic to each other.
The article below by Spartacist Canada, the Canadian section of the International Communist League denounces the Hong Kong protestors and rioters as being western imperialist tools of capitalist restoration in China and they denounce those Trotskyite groups behind these rioters/protestors, as well as the role of the U.S. imperialist backed NED.
"Hong Kong Protests: Spearhead for Capitalist Counterrevolution"
This part towards the end of the article s especially telling:-
"Bootlickers for Capitalist Democrats"
"One of the most glaring examples of aid to the bourgeois cause in Hong Kong is Socialist Action, which along with Socialist Alternative in the U.S. and Canada is affiliated to Peter Taaffe's Committee for a Workers' International (CWI). With a counterfeit reputation as Trotskyist, this organization has a long and disreputable history of supporting capitalist counterrevolution in the name of opposing dictatorship. In the Soviet Union in August-September 1991, the CWI's forebears in the Militant tendency joined the capitalist-restorationists on Boris Yeltsin's barricades in Moscow. In contrast, our Trotskyist international distributed tens of thousands of leaflets calling on Soviet workers to crush the counterrevolutionary forces led by Yeltsin and backed by the George H.W. Bush White House."
"Writing off China as authoritarian and capitalist, the CWI has made itself the most rabid cheerleaders of the Umbrella Movement. An article in the CWI's China Worker (30 September) enthuses over the possibility that "the democracy struggle would spread across China—with the initial spark quite possibly coming from Hong Kong's protest movement." The CWI's fervent desire that the "democracy" movement be wielded against the "CCP dictatorship" on the mainland is the U.S. State Department's hope exactly!"
This article of 06 May 2018 is especially telling of the CWI's role in Hong Kong protest politics:-
"The 'Stop Repression in Hong Kong' campaign, which is supported by the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI), is planning a day of worldwide protests on Friday 4 May. Readers around the world are urged to participate in the protests against increasing political repression in Hong Kong and China."
As mentioned earlier, the CWI and the Socialist Party UK formerly was the Militant Tendency, a Trotskyite group which had infiltrated into the U.K. Labour Party and became an organisation within an organisation but after several of its key leaders were expelled from the Labour Party, the Militant Tendency dissolved itself in 1991 and came out as an independent Trotskyite party in the U.K.
Next, the Workers World Party in the U.S. comes out strongly against these rioters/protestors and against the western-imperialist backed NGOs in Hong Kong, and unlike the International Communist League, the Workers World Party supports the China government fully.
"U.S role in Hong Kong protests"
Here are some key excerpts:-
"U.S. imperialism is the greatest enemy of the world's peoples, who are struggling for a future with dignity, sovereignty and full human rights. Wall Street and finance capital maintain their dominance through the threat of over 800 foreign military bases, aircraft carriers, constant coups, targeted assassinations, drone attacks and starvation sanctions imposed on over 30 countries around the world.
"Wall Street also uses the soft power National Endowment for Democracy (NED) to fund many thousands of nongovernmental organizations, reactionary political parties and alliances with corrupt dictators all over the world."
"U.S. aid and interventions have never protected human rights or democracy."
"Recent mass protests against a proposed modification of extradition laws have rattled Hong Kong. It is the natural response of all progressive forces to rally to the side of mass demonstrations. But it is the duty of revolutionaries to look deeper, to ask what forces are behind a movement and who stands to benefit."
The article goes on to mentions some of the major multi-member organisations in Hong Kong which are backed by U.S. and western imperialist money and concludes with:-
"The U.S. claims to be concerned with free speech and politically motivated extraditions, while it aggressively pursues the extradition of Julian Assange for exposing the crimes of U.S. imperialism."
"The corporate media in the U.S. and Europe have enthusiastically reported on the Hong Kong protests, in stark contrast to the meager, often critical coverage of mass protests in Gaza, Honduras, Sudan, Yemen, France or the recent general strike in Brazil. The difference in coverage exposes a difference in the forces behind the protests, a difference in who stands to benefit from them."
"U.S. imperialism has a long history of "color revolutions" in which protests with a progressive, even revolutionary patina are used as cover for a reactionary, pro-U.S. agenda."
"World finance capital forces in Hong Kong are allied with U.S. imperialism and opposed to socialist ownership and the leadership of China by the Chinese Communist Party."
"U.S. Hands Off China!"
The Workers World Party formerly was Trotskyite but later move away from Trotskyism and supported China's liberation struggle led by Mao and support Mao's China, to the extent that other Trotskyite groups have dubbed them as "Maoist" though they do not profess to be Maoist themselves and neither do they profess support for Stalin. Whatever, Workers World Party exists only in the U.S. and is not part of any international.
Then check out this Grayzone article which reveals how such western "leftists" and "socialists" actually serve U.S. and western imperialism.
"DSA/Jacobin/Haymarket-sponsored 'Socialism' conference features US gov-funded regime-change activists"
Here are some key excerpts:-
"Socialism is now apparently brought to you by the US State Department."
"From July 4 to 7, thousands of left-wing activists from across the United States are gathering in Chicago for the 2019 Socialism Conference."
"At this event, some of the most powerful institutions on the American socialist — but avowedly anti-communist — left have brought together a motley crew of regime-change activists to demonize Official Enemies of Washington."
"One anti-China panel at the conference features speakers from two different organizations that are both bankrolled by the US government's soft-power arm the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a group founded out of Ronald Reagan's CIA in the 1980s to grease the wheels of right-wing regime-change efforts and promote "free markets" across the planet."
These so called "non-governmental organisations" a.k.a. "non-profit organisations" are a controlled opposition which are very much foreign governmental - "non-governmental" organisations (FG-NGOS) which are well funded by foreign imperialist money and provide well paying jobs for useless bums who otherwise cannot find decent productive work.
The China and pro-China news organisations such as CGTN and CCTV should expose this the role of foreign imperialists behind these riots and the Hong Kong authorities must ban these organisations from Hong Kong and mainland China.
Just as British-imperialist occupied Northern Ireland is rightfully part of the the Republic or Ireland, so is former British colony Hong Kong (seized by by force by master drug trafficker Britain during the Opium Wars), rightfully part of the People's Republic of China.
Yours truly
