It's not exactly what you see it as. Communism is failing in China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Xiaoping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Xiaoping When Mao died the inland folks went to capitalism. Hong Kong because of proper capitalism and small government became a gigantic hub of success. Which made Shenzhen and guangdong blow up in size. GDP of Guangdong in the year 2000 was around 130 million USD. Which is pathetic, there are buildings in hong Kong worth more than that. Today Guangdong is worth over a billion in gdp; because they made it a free trade zone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen#/media/File:Shenzhen,_China,_city_population_dynamics.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen#/media/File:Shenzhen,...

Greece's communist policies did this to them; it's about to do it to China. Hong Kong doesn't want to be apart of that crash. Hong Kong will be used to liquidate and prolong the Chinese crash.
