The West will now set themselves against all that China represents. America will bring nearly all of their manufacturing back home. The UK and AUS will remove China from all the main parts of their economies. China's day is done. They are a paper tiger and the Xi regime will fall. Don't doubt it.
One would hope so, it will take time, but production should be moved to other places like India and Vietnam.
The mainlanders will tolerate a lot as long as the economy is humming along fine, but who knows what will happen when the music has stopped.
Incredible to think that they have the balls to do what they are doing with Hong Kong now, with the rest of the world being very unhappy with them..
