I know they are Chinese Ark but it's the next generation of young adults coming through who are DEFINITELY NOT pro China who are taking it to the current Hong Kong executives and are anti China.

One suspects China will be targeting the Hong Kong education system next. I think China are playing with fire and they will lose this war and lose face in the rest of the world. Hong Kong has been an economic powerhouse since the end of WWII under British rule and is more aligned with the Western world than some backwards communist crock.

DD: I sympathise with the students; we managed to hold HK against the Japs for three weeks without tanks or air support during the war, which was a good effort.

The time to have a go at China was during the Korea War when McArthur wanted to drop nuclear weapons on their supply lines in Manchuria; Truman, rightly opposed it; Eisenhower also opposed the spreading of the war

In the end the Chinese are the ultimate pragmatists and will not risk losing the truck loads of foreign currency that flows to China from Hong Kong especially while their own economy, by it's own standards is slowing. The biggest threat to the world economy is Trumpets trade war, both sides need to find the middle ground before the world economy crashes and Trumpet has already said he doesn't care if that happens as long as he wins his "little" stoush with China. If you think China is dangerous, they have nothing on Trump, his insatiable ego dominates every move he makes.

Hopefully, this will help cool things down a bit:

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam is expected to announce the formal withdrawal of a proposed extradition bill which has sparked three months of protests in the Asian financial hub.


If it doesn't, I don't expect Beijing just to let things continue, and I believe there will be a crackdown from across the border.

It's gone beyond that now, it is clear young Hong Kong people are anti China and they want independence. And of course China will never want to give up Hong Kong just like Taiwan.

It's not for me to make a case, StT, as I didn't mention it.

A crackdown could involve many steps, short of martial law.

STT don't forget mate that they are responsible for the internal security of the province, and that woman leader, as you know has claimed she has lost control.
