its Up to the protesters to do what they did in the past. The world would certainly watch that.

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.

If they are, then I think they underestimate. People that I have talked to from HK are pretty "fired up" about this.

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?
