That's something to worry about. The mayhem will give China a card to play in getting deeply involved, and a scenario where the US will again get poetical as in with Taiwan. Picture Trump again claiming "support for the Hong Kong people" just to revive his image and annoy Xi, while intensifying trade talks. We can see here the cons of decentralisation to such an anarchy; there is no common ground and whether it's a peaceful march or sheer destruction of public property, China will all put it under the same umbrella.
