Some parts of China will experience it faster than others, i.e. Hong Kong. What was once one of the most robust capital markets is now rapidly declining, becoming a communist cesspool. With Xi clamping down Hong Kongers who, unlike most mainland Chinese, know freedom are fleeing. Taking with them the capital and knowledge. Britain is offering expedited visas and citizenship to Hong Kongers fleeing China and last month 35,000 took advantage of Britain’s program. The 35,000 are middle and upper middle class HK citizens who see what the future is under Winnie the Pooh Xi and his communist comrades. As the middle and upper middle class flee they will be replaced with party apparatchiks who will have zero knowledge on how to run a vibrant city packed into such a small area. Add to this the fact that the ordinary mainland China citizens have no hygiene etiquette, i.e. they, as tourists, have been known to spit pee and worse in public, when visiting other countries. Imagine these people replacing the fleeing Hong Kongers and Hong Kong will be a cesspool in just a couple years, unlivable and a sardine can of disease and decay. Look at how all the ghost cities they built are falling apart due to shoddy construction and shoddy upkeep and one can get an idea of what will happen to Hong Kong in the next few years. Not pretty.

Excerpt:

Senate Bill 731, jointly authored by Senators Maria Elena Durazo (D-Los Angeles) and Steven Bradford (D-Los Angeles), would make felony conviction and arrest records sealable for any defendant, but only after certain circumstances. Under the bill, defendants would have to fully complete their sentence of incarceration, probation, mandatory supervision, post-release supervision, and/or parole, as well as go four years out of prison having not being convicted of a new offense. In some cases, records may also be sealed following after only one or two years of no new convictions. SB 731 sealing relief would also specifically apply to defendant convicted in all years after 2004.

Senators Durazo and Bradford wrote the bill due to older criminal convictions and arrest records being a significant barrier for many types of employment in the state.
