I told you so. The Chinese Government will NOT interfere in the Hong Kong situation. Yes, Honkers can pull itself to pieces and hate itself for being Chinese, but, it still is Chinese, and it still is China. Hong Kong has real Autonomy, and this is what they are doing with it. Attacking and destroying themselves. "We will destroy everything, our own future, please, please, attack us! Control us so that we may be martyrs!" Nope. You're just being very very silly. Do what you want, destroy what there is to destroy of yourselves. Take a decade. That's up to you. No one else in China is actively trying to destroy themselves, they're too busy having reasonably good and improving lives, going to work, educating the kids, getting 5G and 6G, connecting up with the world, eating steak and drinking Penfolds Grange Hermitage and buying gold, and sending the bright kids off to good universities in the USA and the UK and in Beijing and Japan and Germany. Be as poor and vicious and as exceptional as you need to be.
