RE: Ji I wonder how this ends
Unless both sides decide to talk it out, it is NOT going to end well. Tian An Men redux is what I fear.
And the paper tiger, known as the U.N., will ignore this massacre, just as they did the Tienanmen Square stuff!
China is not going to retreat. It is only possible for it to go forward. Any retreat is tantamount to defeat which it will not countenance. The people of Hong Kong will pay a terrible price for the fall of the PRC, but fall it will. There is no other outcome to the Trump doctrine.
