This is true and may be convenient in some ways however it is bound to be a Pyrrhic victory as China will have a ruined HK with a much larger number of dispossessed people of little use to China who will then be disgruntled for valid non-political reasons.
The anti-China faction of the world wants China to move-in for their own propaganda purposes. They don't care how many people die. They want to use it for propaganda purposes. The West is warning China not to send in the troops. So for China to come out on top is let these protestors become the hooligans they are and wait until the people of Hong Kong have had enough and then they will want the PAP to restore order. Hong Kong is nothing unique. Nothing they do can't be done anywhere else. Hong Kong doesn't exists without China. Foreign companies are there not because of Hong Kong but because of China. In the YouTube video I posted earler, one of the protestors who was arguing with the Australian businessman was trying to paint him into a corner by trying to make him admit to being selfish. What's selfish is these protestors want the Western world to send in their armies to take Hong Kong from China. How many of their soldiers are going to die for Hong Kong when they won't take up arms and do it themselves? And the irony is these protestors don't know is they are their frontline soldiers because their saviors don't want to sacrifice their lives for Hong Kong because if they fail, they'll have legitmately angry China working against their interests in the world. President Duterte had it right when he taunted the US to attack China. He knows the Philippines is being used as a sacrificial lamb for a foreigner's self-interests that does nothing for the Philippines.
