CHINA ATTACKS HONG KONG : WHAT CAN UNO DO ?

Since end September 2014,  Hong Kong citizens have peacefully opposed the totalitarian Republic of China, because it wants to impose trained Communist Party members as candidates for the post of Chief Executive in the elections in 2017. 

China has now sent in an army of bullies to disturb and forcibly disband the peaceful protesters.   Another slaughter, like the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, can be expected ! 

This intention is contrary to the Treaty signed in 1997 by which Britain gave Hong Kong back to China.  It flouts the basic rule which was that China would be "one country with two political systems" for the next 50 years ! 

What will or can the UN do besides just talk ?  Can it change the Security Council rules on voting ?  There are two totalitarian countries in the Security Council, China and Russia, each with a Veto.  This they use to stop any proposed UNO resolution which might hinder them to do what they really want to do !

The only alternative seems to be to enforce hefty Sanctions against China.   Britain must take the lead and ask its allies in the EU, in the Commonwealth and in the USA to help !
