I would love to see a military coup in the US in my lifetime. I'd probably end up in the hospital though from a torso hernia from laughing too hard.

Why don't they just work for Chinese or local Hong Kong financial banks? Just boycott these Japanese companies so that they don't have the chance to make money in a Chinese financial center.

This was quite a few years back. Back then Japan institutions still had a lot of prestige and China hadn't taken their lunch yet.

These days I'm pretty sure Japan financial institutions are kinda dead or loss making with just a basic presence in Hong Kong to not lose out. I can't imagine many needing their services now.

Macron is going to China shortly? China owes Europe because it benefitted from globalization? China has been trading with the world longer than the West tried to conquer it. How about Europe owes everyone because they raped the world to be where they’re at? China has to hand over its technology as payment. What’s really the point when it comes down to what does China get? If there was a legitimate offer that would be front and center not trying spin the West’s rape of the world as something good that happened.
