I've just finished reading the whole of Hunter x Hunter and
spoilers
the last 80 chapters since the end of the election arc have been unbearable 
Oh my god, just this fractal regression of side stories and characters, all wrapped up in a truly, utterly miserable atmosphere!!
I cannot imagine the people who've been waiting ten years to find out what's on the Dark Continent, but instead it's been a recursive digression upon digression of these hopelessly tangled political intrigue story threads that lead nowhere, and people getting pointlessly murdered in horrible ways over and over again, in different combinations of mafia and royal soldiers and prince guards and queen guards and the spiders, AAAAAGGH and it's all on the boat ride to the fake new continent, before they even set off for the real one!! This is not the manga of thrilling exploration and combat I was promised! Where are my protagonists?! How many more sets of a dozen new quirky miniboss faces do I have to remember?!! How long until I get to see the fourth prince get his stupid evil face punched in??!! SHOW ME ~~ROCK~~ GON!!!!

but the U.S. says there are limited spots and too many customers from other nations
Sorry, business is business, yeah I know I said all that "defending freedom", "guardians of democracy", "last stand of civilization in the face of tyranny" stuff but these guys already paid so what can you do?
One would be Chai Ling
Even her NATOpedia page has this transcript from an interview with her:
Chai Ling: All along I've kept it to myself, because being Chinese I felt I shouldn't bad-mouth the Chinese. But I can't help thinking sometimes – and I might as well say it – you, the Chinese, you are not worth my struggle! You are not worth my sacrifice! What we actually are hoping for is bloodshed, the moment when the government is ready to brazenly butcher the people. Only when the Square is awash with blood will the people of China open their eyes. Only then will they really be united. But how can I explain any of this to my fellow students?
"And what is truly sad is that some students, and famous well-connected people, are working hard to help the government, to prevent it from taking such measures. For the sake of their selfish interests and their private dealings they are trying to cause our movement to disintegrate and get us out of the Square before the government becomes so desperate that it takes action....
Cunningham: "Are you going to stay in the Square yourself?
Chai Ling: "No."
Cunningham: "Why?"
Chai Ling: "Because my situation is different. My name is on the government's blacklist. I'm not going to be destroyed by this government. I want to live. Anyway, that's how I feel about it. I don't know if people will say I'm selfish. I believe that people have to continue the work I have started. A democracy movement can't succeed with only one person. I hope you don't report what I've just said for the time being, okay?"
She was smuggled out along with various other protest leaders and dissidents through Operation Yellowbird, a CIA-MI6 joint venture. Again, even the NATOpedia page has to grudgingly admit the CIA had been providing training, funding, even typewriters and fax machines to these people - who it must be kept in mind were a small fraction of the protesters. Though the page does manage to avoid mentioning the NED, which had opened its offices in China for the first time in 1988,
