** 11-Aug-2019 World View: Hong Kong protests - the tenth weekend
This is the tenth consecutive weekend of anti-Beijing demonstrations
in Hong Kong.
Among the analysts I've seen on tv, there are two opposing views about
how all this is all going to end.
One view is that an invasion by the mainland army is imminent.
The other view is that the protests will fizzle out a month from now
when the schools open and the protesters go back to class, and
then everything will go back to normal.
The two views aren't necessarily in conflict, as Beijing could wait to
see if the protests fizzle out, and then send in the army if they
don't.
