This is the heart of the issue for the CCP. This isn't Tiananmen
Square 1989. Hong Kong is densely packed with homes, stores and other
structures, with plenty of places for the protesters to hide out. The
tanks would have to literally flatten the city to "crush" the
demonstrators.

I'm watching Carrie Lam live, giving her weekly Tuesday morning press
conference. She's saying that there are no plans to invite in the
army, and she says that it's not necessary, because the HK police can
handle the situation.

As I've written in the past, the Chinese army cannot do anything that
the HK police can't do. They could bring in tanks, but tanks would be
useless in such a densely packed town as Hong Kong. As stupid as the
CCP leaders are, they're apparently not dumb enough to send tanks into
Hong Kong.

I think the Hong Kongers will fold like cheap suits. Just like I correctly predicted about the Catalans.

The problem with posting anonymously and not registering, creating an
account, and posting under your own account is that claims of past
"correct" predictions cannot be verified, so are useless.

At any rate, it doesn't really matter, because the situations in
Catalonia and Hong Kong are completely different.

In Catalonia, the separatists folded like cheap suits because all
their government officials were being arrested, so they had no
leadership. Furthermore, half the population of Catalonia was opposed
to the separatist movement, and there was no group of people in Spain
outside Catalonia who were particularly sympathetic.

In Hong Kong, the government is already controlled by the CCP through
Carrie Lam, so there's no government leadership to arrest. Second,
the Hong Kong protests are organic. There were some pro-democracy MPs
or activists arrested, but they hadn't been providing leadership, so
the arrests had no effect except to turn the arrested kids into
heroes. Third, the pro-democracy protesters are generally supported
by 70-80% of the population, and there is also popular support from
Cantonese speaking people on the mainland in southern China.

There are other factors too. The Spanish politicians could promise
the Catalonians a bright future as part of Spain. But the CCP can
only promise that the Hong Kongers will be treated more and more
harshly in the future, and that they and their children will be
subjected to a full-scale brutal CCP dictatorship in 2047, with all
the oppression and atrocities that go with the CCP.

One more factor: Catalonia was always part of Spain, while Hong Kong
was part of Britain until 1997, so they remember what freedom was
like.

So I don't know if you're speaking for the CCP when you say that the
Hong Kong protesters will fold like a cheap suit, but from the point
of view of Generational Dynamics there will be at most a pause, if
that, before a new round of organic protests begin.

As you know, I've spent thousands of hours studying Chinese history
going back millennia, and I've written thousands of articles and a
full length book.

So, Chinese history is drenched and permeated with this "Middle
Kingdom" concept -- there was the Kingdom of heaven, there was China
(the Middle Kingdom), and there were the barbarians (you and me and
the rest of the world). This is what I called a CCP "religious cult"
-- but not just since the CCP came to power, but back through every
government and every dynasty I've looked at for millennia.

So it's true that Japan and the Europeans are "racist," especially
during a generational Crisis era, but nothing like the Chinese
religious cult. The Chinese religious cult is poisonous, and is
nothing like anything I've seen in any other country.

Just to take one example, I've also written a full length book on
Iran, and Iran has had Persian empires going back for millennia, just
like China, but there is absolutely nothing in Iran's history that
even vaguely resembles the Chinese "Middle Kingdom" cult. You might
look at what's going on in Iran today, and you might call the Persians
"racist," and you might even say that since the 1979 civil war Iran
has had its own religious cult, but once again, there is nothing in
Iran like the Chinese "Middle Kingdom" religious cult that has
permeated Chinese culture, not just since 1979, not just for a
century, but for almost three millennia.

I haven't written a whole book on Japan or Korea, but I've analyzed
them for thousands of articles, and I can say with absolute certainty
that while each may be "racist" in its own way, neither culture
contains anything remotely like the poisonous cult culture that China
has had for millennia. It's no exaggeration to say that this
poisonous culture makes China both unique in history and extremely
dangerous.

The Chinese religious cult is poisonous, and is nothing like anything I've seen in any other country.

You obviously haven't been to Serbia or Montenegro.

Just to give one of many possible examples of differences: Serbia
is an ally of Russia, but Serbia does not consider itself to
be superior to the Russians, and the Russians to be barbarians.

The CCP considers the Chinese to be superior to all other races
and ethnic groups, and considers all of them to be barbarians.

Are you from North Macedonia?

If Hong Kong can resist mighty China for half a year, imagine what Taiwan, with three times Hong Kong's population, significant military forces, and 100 miles of water between the island and mainland, could do to resist the rule of the party of Xi Jinping.

Looks like China is losing the upper hand.

The current British royals are Saxe-Coburg Gothas from Germany, and the previous ones were German House of Hannover, and prior to that the German House of Orange-Nassau. Those islands have been under control of German royalty for 331 years. Their biggest victims are native British islanders.

I have no idea how the British people put up with the Royals.

Seems like they're pretty friendly with predators including Jimmy Savile and Jeff Epstine.

Didn't the queens last butler just goto jail for possession of child porn?

That castle is infested... yet it goes on and on....

Why do the people let it continue?

The spelling is "gaol"

I don't think it's necessary for the guest to do so. Even I am aware of what they have done.
