China is extremely wealthy, so many foreign debts, a very strong army and a powerful/authoritarian State, guess that would be a suicide mission for any country who would like to ingage in the conflit

HK is where the money gets washed, the markets work and contracts are enforceable. HK still has economic leverage over BJ. The local government’s a joke - terrible track record, and changes like going out of style. I think BJ makes more concessions yet. There’s room to deescalate

Global implications? Like sternly worded admonitions? China is *the* global manufacturer of goods. If a device is not made in China, it is assembled from parts made in China using some tools made there.

It's always 1989.
Go study history;unless we are vigilant,mankind has a knack for "unlooking" at things that makes them uncomfortable.
The Chinese are already incarcerating almost two million Uighurs for nothing other than practicing their Islamic faith and the world "unlooked"!200 -

I grew up in China and studied in UK. I think I know much more about China than you do. I hope you can come and visit China and then it’s up to you to make your criticism.

"Whatever" for you,not for the millions of Tibetans whose culture has literally being wiped out & millions of Uighurs currently being incarcerated for nothing other than practicing their Islamic faith.
