Re << China should have alerted the world instantly >>

Assumes that China knew what China was dealing with ‘instantly’. A tall order when the world still does not know what CoVid is and shall do.
As it happened, China issued warning 18th January 2020 when China locked down Wuhan.

Alas, only Greater-China (incl HK, Macao and Taiwan) heeded the warning as all others either paid no attention or reckoned the virus would do no harm for whatever reasons.

Now, China is building a quarantine facility in Guangzhou to process all international arrivals to China. Is the world taking the hint? No, the planet is continuing to be oblivious.

The planet might be right, and China wrong, but China is assuredly sounding alarm.

As to me worrying about HK, no, am not fussed. I remain a believer in Greater Bay Initiative. If ‘they’ achieve half of what ‘they’ aim to achieve, ohwhoaweegeewhizbang, and they are pretty good at doing according to plan, per absolute best in history, with hiccups, but history is full of hiccups.

Is there a risk of hiccups? Sure, and that is what gold is for. Cannot engage with China or America or any of the major domains without a stake in gold we should trust.
