I hate to say this..but it is my 'assumption' and I hope I am dead wrong, that once the ink is barely dry on this 1st phase of
getting rid of China Tariffs with the USA and vs versa. (They are mainly Agricultural from what I can see). I fear that China
with Trump now more or less being 'distracted' by (1) US Election (2) A likely cooling ecoinomy (3) North Korea (4) the other
2/3 continuing tariff issue with China (4) the likely further movement of Irag to Iran's influence. (4) Afganastan isssues. (5) The
Arms Control Treaty running out with Russia this year and last but not least, (6) the continuing many, many, court cases and
the Impeacment.
So, I 'assume' any 2-3 of the above will be enough of a 'distraction' for China to go in and 'squash' Hong Kong protestors and
claim it is an internal matter. Even though there are a couple decades or so of them 'supposedly' staying autonomous.
Sh*t is gonna come home to roost in the USA this year, you can only kick so much down the road without clear actions and policies
before other countries will see this as a way to take things to their own advantage with 'supposedly' few consequences.
So my prediction is sometime Q1 2020 in Hong Kong this will unfortunatly come to pass. Massive Crackdown with troops.
