It’ll be interesting to see how far they take it.
Like will they get rid of visa free travel from the west? Seems they’d want it to remain a hub for western banks.

Their demographics are backwards and it’s tough moving past their current “low hanging fruit” strategy of low skill factory workers.
Their PPP growth has been lower than the U.S.:
They’re due for a reckoning
Remember how scary Japan was

Applying that same logic to Poland about 80 years ago would not have aged well, to paraphrase George.

I wonder if China is betting that with coronavirus you won’t get the same level of protests.

On another interesting note, when the China assembly was giving a speech yesterday regarding Taiwan, they mentioned "reunification", but in unlike the last 30 years or so, they did use the term "peaceful reunification".
However, in a note from Taiwan MOFA, we were told not to think too much about this and no major implication should be made from this.

Who didn't know this was inevitable when the UK ceded HK, which was agreed to remain status quo for 50 years?
