Would Washington Welcome Beijing's Funding of Ferguson Protests?

It is quite clear that the Hegemon is driving the Hong Kong protests, and then acts as cheerleader from afar.
 The White House is watching democracy protests in Hong Kong closely and supports the "aspirations of the Hong Kong people," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday.

Shouldn't we mind our own business?  Hong Kong does have to work out a modus vivendi with Beijing, but how does USA meddling help achieve a good result?

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

"The Hegemon" is a great term. I am assuming the Hegemon is an oligarchy, but which type... plutocratic or aristocratic... or something else?

Thanks John!
