    I'm sure Xi (they) are very impressed. lol

    Sheeet... They are going to hold off for a good long time. Milk him and the U.S., wait to see who is next elected, position themselves for the best deal and cut it with the next Prez.

    This could be a lot bigger than when the Thais took over an airport and have a lot more ramifications for Hong Kong than Thailand back then..

    I read a few comments on different fora when it happened in Thailand and that no such action would not occur in nearby Asian countries...… well that has been proven wrong and it appears that it will be a lot worse there.

    cheers

    Much bigger, much much bigger.

     

    Those Hong Kong folks are not going to go down easy. And this situation has major international implications.

    Bejing using all its power and leverage to make the situation more dramatic, justifying an intervention.

    See what they threatened Cathay with. No way HKG airport authorities would cancel all flights without being forced to by the HKG pro Bejing authorities.  Specially as there was no major disruption to flight operations.

    See the way Chinese press, who has till now kept silent, is now "informing" the masses of what happens. Read SCMP (South China Morning Post) 

    This is a very tricky situation for Bejing as those demonstrations could give ideas to some students in mainland China. Hence it need to be killed in the egg, but not easy because of worldwide scrutiny.

    They used the harsh method against their Muslim minority (Uyghurk) massively throwing them in camps, but they cant do same in HKG.

    But for Xi who has long term plans for a Great China ,no way a few million people are going to stop him. They weight nothing vs the 1,5 Billion "good patriots".

    The only hope HKG has is a massive involvement of ALL the HKG population. But it is to avoid this that China is massively diluting the HKG population with a mainlander immigration since 10 years.

     

    So you will have counter demos, and mainly at a moment the good mainlanders will feel threathened by those horrible mobs, and China will have to come protect them....

    Lets wait and see, but I cant see this going well. 

    On top of this, if Bejing shows weakness in HKG it will make Taiwan feel more confident that they can win their battle for independance...

     

    I think this issue has potential to grow into a massively huge international cluster.

    A very real and serious one.
