The recent political unrest in Hong Kong could just fizzle out or result in one of 2 outcomes: firstly the Chinese could clamp down hard on Hong Kong along the lines of Tienanmen Square or secondly it could result in yet more liberalism. China is still dangerous and I fear the former: don't rattle their cage too much.
Next week, my brother and his wife visit HK to see their daughter, husband and their child. I hope they steer clear of the troubles.
After all.since 1997 HK has been a special region of China with its repressive regime and one party rule. Interestingly, the one party system seems to have done China plenty of good economically.
