China now has direct control of the city and anti-China protestors can be put in jail for life without trial. Keep in mind this passed on the handover anniversary date, a massive middle finger to Hong Kong’s sovereignty.
This could have a massive impact on the world economy and ongoing Cold War with the US. Thoughts?
I’m not sure what’s going on here. This is going to hurt China’s economy so much because western nations are going to pull investment out of HK, which has always been a safe haven. And it’s putting more of a target on China’s back.

Losing such a massive financing channel really risks destabilizing the already slowing Chinese economy.
Big Xi isn't playing around anymore
Bro is taking this nationalist movement as far as possible. I just think Asia is becoming this massive powder keg and it’s gonna blow soon.
