      Real talk What's their plan if the troops come? Can't imagine Beijing lets civilians carry small arms This isn't colonial America, with vast wilderness and guns Or Iraq, with vast cities and guns Or Vietnam, with vast jungles and an army Is the plan to die gloriously?

          Are there bridges to HK that can be destroyed? Civilian means of destroying them at short notice? Is the Chinese Navy strong enough to establish a blockade? Surely they have amphibious landing craft for Taiwan that could be repurposed Any local armories that could be stormed?

          Honestly I can see China just leveling the city with artillery before they would let them go This doesn't end well Even if China reestablished control without a fight--they wouldn't risk this again, no? Every Hong Konger a Uighur

          “how far will China go while the world is watching” they have many reasons to go as far as necessary this isn’t ending with free kittens and puppies for all participants

          Yeah I don't think there's a lot of potential for, like, guerilla violence over a long term. Surveillance seems too good. Best they can do is force the issue in the moment while they have the initiative.

          Mass movements are almost always born of desperation, and usually die that way too.

          Seems to me the plan is ride the line of being inconvenient enough that HKP keep attacking but not invoventient the Army get involved. But that’s not sustainable and I’m worried it will go the rout of those Ocuppy protests and just kinda putter out.

          If you've got no endgame and no alternative, you make them pay through the nose. PRC doesn't want to break early, look like a mad dog, panic/alienate the region, drive the Taiwanese election separatist, piss off global finance...etc. May not deter them, but they will pay

          The Pashtuns, Greeks, Scots didn't tell imperialists to get fucked because of the strategic value of mountains, they did it because they were mountain people. May Hong Kong teach city people what a "city people" can be.
