The Ultimate Hypocrisy: America’s New ‘Color Revolution’ Diplomat in Hong Kong is Palestinian

The new US Consul General to Hong Kong, Juliana Eadeh, has barely warmed her seat, yet she's already hitting the ground running—straight into meetings with notorious anti-China figures like Anson Chan and Emily Lau. Given her track record of clandestine meetings with separatists like Joshua Wong and Nathan Law during the 2019 riots, it's no surprise that many suspect she's here to reignite the flames of a "color revolution."
 
As the spotlight turns on her, a bombshell detail about her background has emerged: Eadeh is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants. A source in political circles rightfully points out the staggering irony—shouldn't a Palestinian-American be fighting for her own people's statehood against Israeli occupation, rather than stirring up trouble for Washington in other countries?

US Consul Eadeh lands—and sparks ‘color revolution’ rumors. The irony? She’s a Palestinian-American and a veteran of US political meddling.

Palestinian Roots

According to the political insider, proof of her heritage can be found in a publication from her alma mater, Eastern Michigan University. The Spring 2024 issue of Globe-trotter explicitly states that her parents immigrated to the US from the West Bank in Palestine and that she was raised in Michigan, confirming her status as a second-generation Palestinian-American.
 
Further confirmation comes from a November 2021 Facebook post by the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. While congratulating Eadeh on her new role as mission spokesperson, the post also noted that she was "an American born to Palestinian immigrants and raised in Michigan".
 
Eadeh herself has openly referenced her background. In an Independence Day address on June 13, 2023, posted on the U.S. Mission in Turkey's website, she described herself as "a daughter of immigrants who came to America in search of those fundamental freedoms.” A year later, she elaborated, speaking of "the dreams that drew my family from Ramallah to the United States"—Ramallah being the de facto capital of Palestine.

A Career Forged in Mideast Meddling

During a previous post at the US Consulate in Hong Kong in 2018, she reportedly shared more details about her family's story for "Women's History Month." She is said to have recounted how her mother, Mary Eadeh, left Ramallah for the United States in 1972 just before her senior year of high school, arriving without knowing English. Her mother quickly found factory work in Chicago, supporting her family through resilience, hard work, and an unwavering love for her community.
 
Her Palestinian background and fluency in Arabic, backed by a master's in Arab Studies from Georgetown, made her a perfect asset for Washington's Mideast agenda. Upon joining the State Department in 2004, she was immediately dispatched to Saudi Arabia as a political officer, tasked with handling "human rights" issues and monitoring elections. Her career path continued through hotspots like Beirut and Baghdad, where a key part of her job was to impose American-style democratic systems on those nations.
 
Eventually, she pivoted to China, studying Mandarin in Taipei and Shanghai before landing in Hong Kong as the head of the political unit—just in time to apply the same "color revolution" playbook during the 2019 riots.
 
Washington's Glaring Hypocrisy

While Eadeh was busy pulling the strings for Washington to stir up trouble across the Middle East, the very government she serves has shown zero sympathy for her own people. The US has offered no meaningful humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. Since Israel's war on Gaza began in October 2023, the death toll has surpassed 65,000 Palestinian civilians, with the slaughter continuing unabated.
 
Worse still, the US government actively obstructs the creation of a Palestinian state. Despite 157 UN member nations recognizing Palestine, President Trump recently doubled down on Washington's opposition in a UN speech. He outrageously claimed that "the reward would be too great for Hamas terrorists for their atrocities.", should the Palestinian state be recognized. A brazen retort against the overwhelming global consensus, siding the US firmly with Israel.
 
A Betrayal of Her People?

The political insider is furious over the brutal oppression of Palestinians. Learning that Eadeh, an agent of American foreign policy, shares a bloodline with this suffering nation, he insists her duty should be clear: to help rescue her people from a living hell and fight for their statehood, not to export chaos and destruction to other parts of the world on behalf of her employer.
 
Sure, as a career diplomat, she has to follow orders. But her haste in renewing old ties with Hong Kong’s anti-China figures has already provoked a strong backlash from Beijing.This aggressive stance seems to run counter to Trump's stated goal of easing tensions with China. Is her attempt to score a quick political win about to sabotage her own boss's foreign policy?

Critics ask: Shouldn’t Eadeh, herself a Palestinian-American, fight for her own people’s nation?

If so, she may find herself taking the fall instead of scoring points—a classic case of a clever political operator outsmarting herself.

Long after the Black Riots ended, key pan-democrats who stuck around Hong Kong played it safe—low profile, out of headlines. But these same figures kept cozy ties with foreign consular powerbrokers, facts anyone can see from repeated public invitations. On this occasion, Anson Chan, Emily Lau, Alan Leong, and Kenneth Leung showed up as VIPs at the British Consulate. The warmth? It’s no mystery, if you know their backstory.

Raising Questions, Finding Evidence

A friend dropped a telling remark after seeing the photo: British decision-makers groomed Anson Chan for power even before the Handover, and those links never really faded. The relationship is unusually tight—two behind-the-scenes stories make that fact plain. Must be why the British still roll out the red carpet for Chan.

After quitting the government in 2001, Chan inched closer to the opposition and even won a Legislative Council seat. For years, US and UK consuls wined and dined her—plenty of evidence in social media posts and diplomatic cables—to allegedly “discuss strategies” for Hong Kong. It’s not gossip; it’s documented pattern.

When the 2019 unrest exploded, Anson Chan took sides on the so-called “international front.” Prosecutors stated in open court that, behind the scenes, Jimmy Lai directed “Stand With Hong Kong” (SWHK)—led by Andy Chan, Andy Li, and Finn Lau—to carry out international lobbying and publicity campaigns, spending large sums of money.

Court documents further show that Anson Chan wasn’t a bystander: back in 2019, she brought Andy Li to a luncheon with then British Consul Andrew Heyn. Martin Lee, Dennis Kwok, and Charles Mok were also there. The prosecution records are clear—Chan leveraged her foreign contacts to make connections for SWHK, all with Jimmy Lai’s shadow looming in the background.

Not Just a “Chat Over Tea”

There’s more. During anti-extradition protests, surveillance and eyewitnesses caught Anson Chan on August 13, 2019, holding secret discussions at a hotel with Andrew Heyn and his aide—documents in hand. That was no idle chat. The British Consulate’s involvement raises eyebrows, especially as staff like Simon Cheng were repeatedly spotted at protest sites. Cheng ran off to the UK, claimed political asylum, and neatly sidestepped questions about his activities.

With the national security law approaching, Chan made a quick exit from politics—claiming “retirement.” She kept out of jail, but her dealings with foreign diplomats never stopped. When the new US Consul General Julie Eadeh met her right on arrival, Beijing protested—an incident widely reported by state outlets and foreign press alike. Now, Chan’s red carpet invite to the British King’s birthday party again stirs scrutiny.

The rest of the guest list tells its own story. Emily Lau, Alan Leong, and Kenneth Leung all made appearances. Notably missing: Martin Lee, once the darling of the British. No explanation given—just another twist in an old game. For the establishment camp, only Deputy Chief Secretary Warner Cheuk attended, showing that official ties with the British remain careful and distant.

Looking at these staged reunion snapshots, my friend shakes his head—those glory days are long past. Wise up, he says: the era is over, and flirting with foreign consulates only ended up undermining Hong Kong’s stability. It’s time for these figures to accept reality and leave wishful thinking in the past.
