Xi has taken China back to about 1992 so far... It'll be 1988 soon, and backwards from there

Didn't think it was going to be voted thru that's impressive, having said that though, it's not going to change anything, even if they took it to the icj China will just snub their nose at it

Velvet glove. What will the EU do to China? Legitimate question here, what will change?

Nothing would really change, it just provides those who want to leave and can leave an easier chance of actually being able to do something.

There's going to be capital flight and brain drain.

This won't convince China to change, but that is kind of the point. It has the effect of them isolating themselves further and further from the rest of the world. They're walking (running.. sprinting) straight into another cold war.

Most of China's top earners have built ties to free countries around the world. You know this if you live in one of these places like Vancouver.

Once they go backwards to certain point, they'll bail and will live in these places full time. Like evofire said above - capital flight, brain drain. Their economy will collapse.

With their economy inevitably collapsing under this tyranny, it's just a matter of time before they're back to being 1960's china. The reliance on manufacturing and export will no longer exist. The new middle class that came out of nowhere will either have to become farmers again, escape to other countries, or revolt. Or end up in prison/re-education camps.

Like I said before, I used to predict this as an inevitability in the next 20 years, but Coronavirus and Hong Kong have accelerated this to happening all within a year. It's mind blowing really.

Hong Kong Police prioritizing on the issues that matters most....

by arresting a local district Councillor for taking away ONE single face mask from the prison detention center.

It's so blatant it's hard to believe

Their chief is basically Chinese Donald Trump

Your insight into the Hong Kong protest is very valuable and insightful

But you are Very very disconnected to what’s going on inside China. It’s people and it’s economy and the view of the majority inside the country

This post sounds very much like the rando disgruntled “CCP will die” shill on twitter that is base on their own fantasy and bias rather than reality.

On another note. The national security bill is suppose to chase off investment in Hong Kong. What I’m seeing is a renew strength in the Hang Seng index along with a very tasty list of Chinese IPO that would otherwise been in NASDAQ precovid.

Very interesting development. Despite all the hate on China and Chinese company. There is still a lot of attention, interest and volume on the chinese tickers that are listed oversea. I have a sneaky suspicion that China is going to encourage their most valuable companies to List in Hangseng and to delist from the western market to attract capital into Hang Seng.

I'll just say that I am just sharing my own observations. I am not saying what I WANT to happen. I am not "disgruntled" and I do not hate China. I love China and I feel very bad for the MILLIONS of people who are getting screwed. I love America and I feel bad for them too.

If there are people making lots of money on the stock market right now, good for them. I'm sure the top 0.01% of the population can come away relatively unscathed, and they don't have to worry about very much. I hope they are only risking money they can afford to lose and still come away with the ability to thrive in a rapidly changing environment. Hope you didn't invest in Luckin coffee LUL

Covid and what's happening in HK is going to put China back into the 1960s?

Hell...USA is going back to the 1960s quicker than China will.

lol

What? no...

what?

UN Council being formed

First round of sanctions are being enforced already - Visa restrictions on current and former CCP officials who are "believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy"

This includes family members, so those who were looking to keep a backdoor open will have that closed.

rip hk

Yup. Hong Kong no longer exists. China is intent to re-enter the dark ages, and they're taking HK along with them.



Tomorrow might be a blood bath. If they introduce the law today, they could very well bring tanks in to mow protesters down. They have given up on the facade of a "high degree of autonomy"

It's all over

Click in for the thread to read quotes from someone who had their village destroyed near Beijing, and when people fought back, cops went in to clear it out


But remember, you can make money on the stock market right now, if you already have money. So everything is just fine SeemsGood

Ouch. Shit just got real for HK with the security law passed in Beijing. RIP HK. :alone:

HK will never ever be the same again. :(

Honestly I don't know if the world as we know it will exist next year

The world we knew have already ceased to exist a few months ago. It'll just get much worse for you in HK.

chinese turkestan, indian border, taiwan, hong kong, large swath of the pacific and im sure missing many more

china going hard the last 12 months

It'll get worse for everyone. America is about to go through another Great Depression with millions jobless and starving. If they don't set up an actual way to support people throughout the virus, they are beyond fucked.

They need to get rid of Trump ASAP. Send him to Iran LUL

The worse thing the law states some case can be trail in China meaning China can legally arrest anyone and just say the case is special/serious so it have to be trail in China using China law and policy.Doesn't make any sense. If I broke/committed a crime in HK and it is again HK law/policy why will I be trail in China using China law/policy. Since HK and China law and policy is very very different. Not to mention in China there are no law and policy lol.

The foreign report agency have ask the HK gov to promise that all foreign reporter won't be affected by this new law yet the HK gov have yet to give an answer. So basically if you are a foreign reporter and reported something HK/China gov don't like you can be arrested and sent to China to trail. Also if you are a foreign working in HK you can also be arrested and sent to China. As long as they just "claims you are breaking the security law" (like the two Michael's in China currently). Literally people need to gtfo of HK ASAP.

I could be in HK posting this on RS and get arrested because I am posting something that's against this new security law and be sent to China.

^If the trail is anything like the Grouse Grind, it could be pretty gruelling. :troll:
