I have a feeling that the only thing holding them back at this point, is that a PLA occupation of HK would do incredible damage to HK’s position as a hub of global trade. 
  
 But at some point, it seems inevitable.

### REPLY:
HK is huge but the mainland has diversified their ports and centers of trade compared to say 15 years ago. Would still be very bad for PR
