Today is a good day for China.

What about the riots in Hong Kong? Tempest in a teacup in the big scheme of things. No revolution is going to come out of it, no matter how much support and dark money the US and the UK would care to throw at it behind the scene. Wanna bet?

By the way, National Interest is a known deep state propaganda outlet where over 80%+ of the writers are morons and 95% of the articles are radioactive junk. (Personal experience since 1999.) Your hyperbole about independence for Hong Kong and the end of Communism in China is, sorry, simply laughable.

Many in Hong Kong have a negative view of mainland China. That's been the case for decades. However, they also happen to be Chinese with roots and extended family members across the border. Bilateral trade between Hong Kong & China is substantial - on a par with the US and Japan. If you think that Hong Kongers (99% Chinese) would throw away everything over an extradition bill, then I have a few World Trade Center Towers in New York to sell you.

Hong Kong Strike Sinks City Into Chaos, and Government Has Little Reply

The Hong Kong Chief Executive disagrees with your downplayed 'tempest in a teapot' assessment:

"Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s chief executive, warned Monday morning in her first public remarks in two weeks that the city “has become unsafe and unstable” and that “a series of extremely violent acts are pushing Hong Kong into very precarious circumstances.”"

You actually believe that stuff? Did you actually think it over, as a trader or investor?? Trump is lying through his teeth when he says China is paying for the tariffs, but he is a politician. You are a trader / investor - swallow Trump's horse manure at your own peril.

No politics. I am not anti or pro Trump, in fact I didn't vote for him last time.

I am a consumer, where I shop, the local Walmart stores have not raised prices much this year? So far, from one consumer's perspective, the trade war and tariff do not seem to affect prices of stuff I purchase: shoes, clothing, small appliances, supplies, electronics, etc. In fact food, produce and energy are cheaper. Are things different where you are?

As a trader, it is true, my performance this year is nothing to crow about, barely breaking even to date.:(

The most recent tariff affects toys and iPhones particularly but takes time to filter through. Companies have been loading up inventory in advance just in case. Let's see what Xmas "brings".

Cut down on the electronics. A 4 cores CPU is still good enough for trading versus an 8 cores one. 2019 is tough year. Wish you all the best.

I have nothing against the idea but that sounds beyond hopeful for the next upcoming years at Least.

Hong Kong is on borrowed time. The agreement when handed over on 1997 is for 50 years. 22 years has passed so one way or another in another 28 years it will be one country one system.

Thank you for the coaching. Is it good or bad for Singapore, the devaluation and trade war?

I trade mainly US stocks. The property market is still booming. Not sure how long it will last. The market here is small. A small drop will not just send ripples but waves. AS the trade war prolongs, it will definitely affect here.
