The impact such a move would have on the mainland Chinese economy would not be nearly as severe, said Leland Miller, chief executive officer of the China Beige Book, a firm that advises investors and corporate management on the Chinese economy. “The impact is overhyped. Most talking heads say that the Chinese can’t allow Hong Kong to lose its status as the pre-eminent financial center in Asia, but that’s not what I hear from China,” he said.

Well, it looks like the Resistance’s long-anticipated “Second Civil War” has finally begun … more or less exactly on cue. Rioting has broken out across the nation. People are looting and burning stores and attacking each other in the streets. Robocops are beating, tear-gassing, and shooting people with non-lethal projectiles. State National Guards have been deployed, curfews imposed, “emergencies” declared. Secret Servicemen are fighting back angry hordes attempting to storm the White House. Trump is tweeting from an “underground bunker.” Opportunist social media pundits on both sides of the political spectrum are whipping people up into white-eyed frenzies. Americans are at each other’s throats, divided by identity politics, consumed by rage, hatred, and fear.
