Hong Kong mourns the end of its way of life
What has happened to Hong Kong is a strong <i>canary-in-the-coal-mine</i> indicator for other Chinese territorial disputes [i].<p>With Hong Kong it was somewhat inevitable but I can&#x27;t help but imagine how different it would be if the US and EU&#x2F;Britain (as leads) would have strongly denounced their approach.  I suspect in a decade from now the West will be lamenting how Hong Kong was the right opportunity to stifle China&#x27;s ambition.<p>[i] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;quicktake&#x2F;territorial-disputes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;quicktake&#x2F;territorial-disputes</a>
