As For Taiwan, Hong Kong..... They'll be OK as long as they don't be STUPID and threaten China.
Hong Kong Students were STUPID, because of their actions, their threats, instead of Hong Kong gradually working towards more freedoms, they lost more freedoms and new stricter laws introduced.
But atleast China didn't install "Emergency Act", "Notwithstanding Clause", "Prorogue government" laws.
If Taiwan wants to pose a TREAT to China, it will get a response.....
Oh, by the way, Taiwan offically know as Republic of China. They themselves consider themselves China. But just like Liberials, Conservatives, NDP..... Each party wants to be in Control.
The opposing Chinese party fled to Taiwan and "annexed" it and claimed control of the island.
China hasn't done much all these years because Taiwan didn't pose a significant threat. That will change as Tiawan ramps up its Propoganda and Western Military allaiance.
All just my opinion/view/thinking.
