Hong Kong is a young democracy. Before its return to the motherland in 1997, it was a colony with absolutely no democracy, as all decisions were made by a governor working for the British Empire.

In 1945, the world woke up to a new reality, a new world order. The US had escaped World War II unscathed while Europe and Asia were completely destroyed.

October 2021 will be another chapter of this theater celebrating Western elected Nobel peace prize, among the contenders "bla-bla-bla" Greta Thurnberg, US backed-sponsored Hong Kong agents Martin Lee & Nathan Law.

The only hope for the USA now is to have proxy wars, get other countries to fight US wars, while the USA will provide weapons, training, funding.

Hong Kong and Mainland China are the big winners here; by enacting a long due National Security Law, Hong Kong has finally decolonized and the "one country, two systems" is a reality now with the restoration of Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong. The recent economic setbacks should not last long as Mainland's economy is strong and once Covid19 is under control, tourism and the Hong Kong financial industry could experience a "Renaissance", with the increased support by the Central government and the opportunities that the Greater Bay Area will bring to Hong Kong.

Myanmar is going through the same challenges as most of the Southeast Asian countries which are trying hard to rightly balance the relationship between the USA and China.

"It always comes down to the wallet, nothing else. Here it is all about China challenging the dollar hegemony and a possible reset of the world monetary order."

Democracy has created the best people in the art of being elected but not the best people in the art of leadership and management.

China surpassed US$ 40 billion last month. With a drop in exports of only 3.3% in dollar terms and a drop of 16.7% of imports, the decoupling of USA-China should mainly affect the USA.

China did learn all it could from the mistakes of the Western liberal democratic system and adapted it to its unique system that is only a continuation of an over 2000 year system of meritocracy "mix of selection and elections".
