Hong Kong 2047

From CNN, “Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in Hong Kong as campaigners look to keep the pressure on the government, despite a move by the city’s embattled leader to suspend a controversial extradition bill.” I hope these people understand that in 2047 the one state, two systems becomes one state, one system. That is to say, Hong Kong becomes fully “communist” (totalitarian-lite in practice). This is not going to be a pretty sight if today is any indication. Actually, there is nothing to stop China from marching in tomorrow except inflaming the situation into a total disaster, but dictators are generally inured to the fallout from disasters.
