I would go a lot further than that. A free society will outlive an authoritarian society. America, France, and UK show that. In the end, Hong Kong and Taiwan will be influencing the development of China's politics, not the other way around. A lot can happen in 28 years.
The thing is, Beijing - a state power thriving on paranoia & schizophrenia - doesn't care about #HongKong's special status anymore. Perhaps new developments in Taiwan - including #Taiwanese people's rejection of 1 country 2 systems - can buy us some time. #NoExtraditionToChinahttps://twitter.com/SCMPNews/status/1140418785314332672 …

My country, Canada, should restrict travel. Chinese leaders proudly wear their badge of indifference to human rights. When those same officials are restricted from travelling and sending their family members abroad they will suddenly become more interested.

I disagree. HK special status is key to the financial openness of our city, which is the first port of call for dirty CCP money to get laundered.

Only Beijing has a special status in my heart. Long live the mainland!
