At the end of the day, Hong Kong is sovereign Chinese territory, and they will do with it as they will.

That said, China does not operate in a vacuum and every decision they make will have consequences on the world stage. Every other sovereign has a right to react as they see fit.

I would expect most Western countries will pull out of Hong Kong, it’s position as a global financial hub will no longer be tenable, and the city state will be a ghost town in 3-5 years.

Taiwan will be following this issue closely and will realize that they cannot believe a single thing that the CCP says. This will push Taiwan to seek independence.

The ultimate losers will be the people of Hong Kong who could not leave.

Good post...what is going to happen to China is going to be rather isolating.
