"explain how Hong Kong will survive economically and resource-wise in this fantasy scenario. " ? How did Hong Kong survive before 1997 without being part of China ? ? How does Singapore, a small state exist without being part of a major nation ? How does any nation 'survive' on it's own? The question is upside down: Hong Kong flourished while 'not being part of China'. Now they are going downhill as 'part of China'. The question is 'How will Hong Kong survive now that it's under the thumb of China'. It probably won't - it will become a much less important city. --- "There is no other way to describe this other than complete bullshit." This is deluded. Probably from propaganda. To believe that the obsequious and fearful 'kowtowing' by many in Hong Kong amounts to a real expression of their will, is not reality. There is an easy solution: give Hong Kong the right to vote for itself, and elect it's own members of government as it chooses, not chosen by the CCP. What are you afraid of? That people would completely reject China given the chance? That other parts of China would want to do the same? It's probably true, and something to consider.
