Taiwan isn’t part of China.

He’s right to leave it out.

Because luckily Taiwan is not really a part of China.

Agree.

I also think that if they attempt to pull back on the international access too much then the two areas that have seen the most exposure to the rest of the world: Shanghai and Guangdong province (home to Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Foshan) may head the way of Hong Kong as well. Once they’ve seen the “good life” it’s hard to pull it back.

For those saying Taiwan isn’t part of China : both the ROC and the PRC state that it is and that they are the rightful government.

No, Taiwan is already independent and has been for around 70 years.

The imminent problem is somewhere like Shanghai. If Shanghai catches the Hong Kong disease, Xi and his henchmen have a real problem.

That is why the Trump tariffs are so important. If the tariffs disturb substantially the status quo in Shanghai, the problem is likely to erupt into the streets
