If you think there may be some hypocrisy in James’s supposedly “educated” view on the Hong Kong situation, you are astoundingly correct. He routinely loves to bash his political opponents. Take this tweet, which reached 1.4 million likes (more likes than the number of Uighurs China has locked up in concentration camps), where he attacked President Donald Trump as a “bum.” Trump may have spouted some crass statements that James doesn’t like, but I don’t see him calling Xi a “bum” when the Chinese president demands the “crushed bodies and shattered bones” of his enemies.
