Zero Hedge — "Burn With Us" - Protesters Clash With Riot Police At Hong Kong Airport Amid Surge Of Violence


This is no longer marketable as a non-violent protest. It is turning into open revolt. The Chinese leadership is unlikely to put up with this escalation indefinitely, only long enough for the protestors to discredit themselves. The West is unlikely to intervene directly, and imposing more sanctions won't matter much either. The decision seems to have been taken to decouple. 

In the long run, this bodes ill for Hong Kong. It will be replaced by similar facilities and operation on the mainland, and that is already in the works. How does that affect Hong Kong real estate, some of the most expensive in the world?
