And in another twenty years time, Cantonese will be forbidden in schools, no separate HK Olympics team, continual migration of mainland Chinese into HK, and all children will have to swear allegiance to Beijing. The right to vote? Forget it.

Xi's visions of grandeur a-la Jong.

Financial activity is not something that can just be 'moved'. The instutional frameworks and legal system that make Hong Kong a successful offshore financial centre do not exist in Shanghai or anywhere else in China.

Those are the troops the unelected dictator Xi will use to murder any Chinese citizens who oppose him. I wonder what kind of person joins an army and is willing to kill their fellow citizens just for demanding their human rights?

Another Tianamen Square in the making?
Went there on my Honeymoon before it changed back to China, great times.

I really hope China moves all the Financial Activity to Shanghai - it'd be a lot cleaner for everyone, and would allow China to finally, integrate HK into its ecosystem.
