HONG KONG—Since China resumed control of Hong Kong in 1997, the city has served as a conduit for trillions of dollars in fundraising, trade and investment.
Having a separate system—sealed off, yet under Beijing’s thumb—caused a raft of social and political concerns that gave rise to this year’s protests, now in their fifth month. But the city also enabled China’s rise.

Hk used to contribute 40% of china gdp. But today, less than 2%. Shenzhen and other cities are doing much better than hk. China will probably let hk collapse totally bcos even if they crushed the protest, they cannot crush minds which have been brainwashed for decades

Because the People’s Republic of China ( a communist state ) is dependent upon capitalism.
But Hongkong now can be replaced with Shenzhen and Macao in financial aspects. Hongkong only accounts for less than 2.5% of current China's GDP. Hongkong just plays an important role in China's stability , not in China's economy now.

“1 country 2 systems” make Hong Kong being unique and the financial hub. Invoking emergency regulations ordinance may destroy this uniqueness as it violates the rule of laws and empowers the government to carry any laws. Political crisis should be solved by meeting 5 demands.

In fact, Chinese have been fighting for democracy since the May Fourth Movement in 1919. Even there is still no democracy in China, HongKongers will not give up on this fight.
CCP is using HK to do their money laundering
We are serious when we said ' if we burn you burn with us'. You CCP either give us autonomy as promised or you get nothing from us!
CCP is too greedy for enjoying the economic benefits brought by HK special position but suppressing the universial values in HK
The only way HK can truly be replaced is when China finally attains true democracy and free economy and people can actually directly do business with them with reservation. But alas, not gonna happen given that China is ruled by a cheating, lying, totalitarian regime
I dont think fighting for democracy, freedom, human rights are western-style values, they are universal values, among the whole world.
those are not only western-style values....but universal ones which China failed to adopt in its 70 years of development
Over 70% of oversea investment of China is through HongKong. It is base on our Western valur
On country two system is a lie to hongkong. the system is only a way to maintain a gateway for money flowing into China but China wants to erase any basic value such as freedom and democracy in HK. chinazi HongKongProstest
CCP like a 5yrs old kid, once he get a new toy he would play it in his style whatever he like. We must teach him there are rules in this world and they MUST be followed. Anything breached will be punished.
Money can't buy freedom and human rights.
Over 70% of investment in China come from Hong Kong, yet, CCP told its ppl HK is depended on China. The way CCP educates, or brainwash, its ppl make them arrogant and eventually an extreme nationalist antichinazi

Hong Kong’s attachment to western-style government system has made itself useless including its inability to build enough public housing to take care of the bottom 30% of HK citizens which led to these protests. If HK is under “one system”, Xi would have built them already...
Not an economist, but we all know the importance of rule of law to investment and economic growth. With protection of private property rights and abiding contracts (western values), HongKong is the gateway of FDI to China. HongKongProtests seek to uphold these values.

There would be no crisis whatsoever if Beijing kept its promise to the world and stuck with the 1 country 2 systems policy
It’s true. it’s all about money.
It’s all about money. For those doing business with China , the protests in past 4 months revealed how cruel and inhuman the CCP is. BoycottChina now may lower your profit but can save your lives. Good luck to you all.

That’s why Carrie Lam stated firmly that HK is not at emergency status, though she used the emergency law to bypass the legislation council lol
China's economy is facing immense assets and loan crisis now. Thats why China need HK's USD reserve so MUCH ! Banks cannot repay their debts. Rich people from China are converting their RMB into USD assets and hiding them in US offshore banks !
We all know HongKong is a very special city to 🇨🇳 that no other province in 🇨🇳 can replicate. Not in the past and not in the future.
HongKong government should understand the sequence of how to make the most benefit to Hong Kong and china indeed. HongKongProtesters are protecting our own city.
That's why China will let Hong Kong be as it is, the one country two system will be perpetual so long HK can maintain its status as an international financial hub.
With all due respect it is actually CCP’s Totalitarianism drawing HongKong into an unprecedented crisis HK can only be the international financial centre that CCP & the rest of the world want it to be, if CCP honor its promise of autonomy / 1Country2Systems

Yes money matters.
HongKong uniqueness as a middleman between the West and China is irreplaceable. Both sides have a very strong stake and that's why it's in the West's interest to halt the CCP expansion of influence in HK
Freedom is a human right worth fighting for, it's not simply a Western value. President Xi 'Bone Crusher' Jinping is finding that out.
Why Hong Kong is unique and trusted by the world? It’s because our free market, rule of law, emphasis on democracy and human rights. How China see Hong Kong as a gateway but eliminate our advantages at the same time? HongKong HongKongProtest HongKongRioters
China can’t have Hong Kong as a Western city and impose their will on us. Yet they are too arrogant, too stupid to realise that.
Let hongkong be hongkong. Beijing cannot just take the benefits from having HK without respecting the values and systems which are the fundamentals.
China is giving up HongKong despite the enormous economic lost. Government control tops the priority of PRC government.
HKgers are attached to the global values with human rights and values.
Beijing cannot eat the cake and have it. If Beijing needs Hong Kong as the gateway to the free world, Beijing must not take away our Western-style values. We haven't heard the term 'Ny-lon-kong' for a long long time. StandWithHongKong HongKong

Uncivilized mainland communists want to draw HongKong away from free world values like rule of law, and back to an uncivilized stage like China. Without these values Hong Kong must be losing the status of global financial centre! CCP is destroying HK! HongKongProtests
Beijing just can't help themselves: every so often one or more of those lifer party bureaucrats gets a burr under his/her saddle about HK and convinces everyone to flex their muscles - to no good end.
Is Hong Kong still Hong Kong? when democracy, freedom of speech and even rule of law hv been crumbling? China could not take the gold eggs from HK & take away our cores values, leading us suffocate to death. Thx to CarrieLam - HK is in state of emergency! HongKongProtests
chinazi want HK as a global hub. But they don't want Hong Kong people. The Passing of the Hong Kong human right and democracy act is crucial for our survival.

It's a crisis for HK as a city. No harm to the rest of China. More importantly, it gave a wonderful opportunity for Chinese to know how terrible if social order destroyed by Western forces in name of democracy and freedom. China ruled by CCP is in the best interest of Chinese.

typo if the Berlin Wall was
CCP‘s bigwig depend heavily on Hong Kong to handle their vast wealth.
That’s very correct! China does not understand the importance or the uniqueness of HongKong. China cannot create another place and expect the world to treat it differently from the rest of China. They are burying themselves and the world is watching.
Do you think in our lifetime would we witness China as a democracy hey anything is possible if the Berlin was toppled I'm China can get over that abuse
It just thought it should be as usual, but it may change.
Hong Kong is always important to China and helped China a lot. However, after China gain their economic power, they forget how Hong Kong helped them and start to control everything for their own good.
Can someone make 🇨🇳 understand the importance of HongKong? Guess not, they rather close the door than give HK autonomy & freedom which they desperately want to erase from Basic Law. FreeHongKong
Yeah except this whole premise is based on the totally flawed assumption that the global financial elite will refuse to do business in Hong Kong in retaliation for Chinese human rights abuses. News flash: they don’t care as long as there’s stability
The Gateway is being moved to Shenzhen...Hong Kong will be reverted back into a small fishing village
Thanks for the help of western media,HongKong become a dangerous district.
The west is waiting to see the crackdown.

China does not care. The military industrial machine rolls over everything in its way.
