You don’t need to have been to China to know that Tibet and Hong Kong share a similar fate.

Hong Kong will fall because China can’t allow it the freedom it needs to operate. The intellectual and financial capital that hasn’t already departed will exfiltrate and all that will remain are CCP party faithful who never had the skills or motivation to succeed the way the original companies did.

The outside world will see the same Hong Kong names but those will be preserved hides over an eaten-out corpse.

All right, how about this. Instead of parroting a common nationalist talking point (that is common across the globe) that is little more than a knee-jerk reaction to allow for blanket dismissal of criticism, how about you raise the level of the discussion by naming a set of experts on the PRC with a variety of positive/negative perspectives that you do recognise as qualified to speak on this subject?

China/CCP isn't exactly friendly to foreigners. It's near impossible to become a Chinese citizen.
