** 16-Nov-2019 World View: Anti-government rebellion could spread
It looks more and more like the Hong Kong protests are building to
another anti-government rebellion from southern China, like the
Taiping Rebellion (1850-64) and Mao's Communist Revolution (1934-49).
I think that the CCP are aware that if they send in troops, they
will trigger this larger rebellion.
I think that they will continue to hold back unless and until
it spreads to the mainland.
As long as it's restricted to Hong Kong, even if it gets worse, the
mainland army cannot do anything more than the local riot police can
do. They might as well leave it to the Hong Kong riot police, unless
it begins to spread to southern China.
