August 95, 24 years ago I went to HK. I thought my last chance (I was working in Indonesia then) to see the place plus Macau. and so I did. I knew that whatever would be written in piece of paper would not be valid. The Chinese would trample on it. As the years passed I was surprised. It was working. Then HK shelf's date expired. Having outlived its usefulness. The Chinese came to grab it. The Chinese are a destabilizing force in the world. A predator that preys on the weak. Being it Africans. Italians and Danish Why Trump mention buying that ice block? Yes the Chinese want to sneak into Greenland worldpoliticsreview.com .

Re <<fear and identity>> A/k/a the other side of transfusion / rejuvenation, same as irrelevancy / displacement The reason might be that there is no such thing as birthright in Hong Kong, for Hong Kong started as a rock, and is built up by many. Darwinian protocol, survival of the fittest, freedom rock. Essentially a variation on trade-able resident rights.

TJ has got away with this discourse for 22 years, the time I have been a member of SI.
