BREAKING: Chinese forces gather at Hong Kong border

You'd think an Australian paper could do it's own reporting on this.

How does Hongie Kong have a border with China?

My guess is the part of Hong Kong that has a physical border with China.

Me dumb. I was thinking Taiwan.

No prob. (I checked the map too)

If Chinese troops ever enter Hong Kong the Hong Kong people would come unhinged. Doubt it will ever happen.

They hold the ultimate trump card. They hold a trillion dollars in US bonds. They flood the market with that interest rates sky rocket.

"We would like to make it clear to the very small group of unscrupulous and violent criminals and the dirty forces behind them -- those who play with fire will perish by it," spokesman Yang said.
"Don't ever misjudge the situation and mistake our restraint for weakness."

Zepp don’t know what you are trying to tell me here. Yes Hong Kong is a problem for them. But any idea that we have them by the balls is dumb. They could tomorrow ruin our economy over night. If they had the balls to do it. Bc it would hurt them too. But I think they have far more the will then we do. If they flood the market with our bonds interest rates sky rocket for business and individuals. Xi knows this.

We definitely do not have them by the balls. If anything all of this has shown repeatedly that Trump's plan with China is trash.
I put in stuff about Hong Kong because it is ****** what is happening to them.

Then we are on the same page

The US and China are so inbed with each other that it isn’t even funny. They hurt us then it hurts them just as much.

China will only go after the us once its economy is self sufficient which it’s not remotely close too.

China will also not call in its debt because the yuan is pegged to the usd and needs to be Lower to stay strong with exports. When our dollar dropped they actually artificially manipulated theirs to go down.

As long as they are export based on the international market they cannot lower our dollar as it would cause all markets to crash and actually bring manufacturing jobs back here even faster.

The only reason I posted it was because we will see true socialism if they head in to HK. Those people don't stand a chance.

A massive bond dump is not going to happen. And I'm not sure about the interest rates sky rocketing either. Have you been watching the bond market?

The bond market isn’t concerned about it. And really neither am I. It would be a very risky move by China. Bc unless they dumped it all they would be devaluing their own holdings. But it’s still the ultimate trump card.

It'd be more like the last man standing blowing up the ammunition dump.

That wouldn’t surprise me if those with the US flag are actually Chinese. They might stage something like that to gain support for action they take against the protestors, so they can claim they were American trouble makers.

Is this the tech that certain American companies have been assisting the Chinese government with developing?

I don't know. I assume China's tech can do much of it internally now.
