@stepsvideos My concern is not markets. MY issue is with citizens who rebel violently because they do not like their situation. Hong Kong is the perfect example of this, as they are the 9th top city to be living in job wise, pay wise, quality of life, etc., and here these children began protesting against a law that allowed the prosecution of a murder. But because Hong Kong citizens feared being sent to the mainland for breaking laws. They protested with violence to force the governments hand. So here we are the law was taken off the books and still they violently protest. For what? There is no rebellion leader, no organization for them to demand changes or to let the world know what they are protesting. China is a communist country, that is prospering and the majority of Chinese citizens are fine with the current government and what they have accomplished. Now you have these millennials using violence against Hong Kong and the PRC because what, they do not want to be part of China? Hong Kong has been part of China for hundreds of years, and was under British rule for 99 years under a lease agreement with china. So to say that Hong Kong does not want communism is a mute topic. China will never give up Hong Kong, and under the letter of the law Hong Kong is China. If more then half of the people of Hong Kong and half the people of china no longer wanted communism that is a different subject. What these protesters do not understand is they are asking for rights under the basic law theory in HK that already exist. They are simply protesting now just to protest and to try and drive international support for independence. The HK people want complete universal suffrage which by the letter of the laws of HK and the PRC they have. They just do not like the idea the PRC has some say in who is elected. None of this matters considering 27 years from now China takes full control of Hong Kong. There is no independence for HK, in fact the PRC may be forced to intercede sooner then 2047 if the HK council cannot regain control. The PRC could use these protests as a national security issue, if the protesters border being terrorist. As the PRC has an obligation and responsibility to maintain sovereignty and their national security. China's system of socialism and communism works for China and the people of China. Just because you fear communism, doesn't mean it is wrong. The people of Hong Kong are chinese citizens like it or not. And unless the HK protesters figure out a way to make Hong Kong an assets to china under a capitalist system, it will revert to full china control in 2047. These children and thugs need to see the bigger picture.
