Hongkong protests are growing day by day and will have big impacts on the Chinese and world economy. Hongkong is the business gateway of china for the word and current protests will have serious consequences on the Chinese economy.

The Chinese Hypocrisy

Not only Pakistan but China are also advising India on Jammu and Kashmir. Not surprisingly, both these countries do not see the agitation by their citizens against the local administration.

While Balochistan’s issue in Pakistan is not hidden from anyone, Hong Kong’s issue for China is getting troubling. In this case, the US is reminding China of civil rights. On the other hand, China is suggesting that the US should not interfere, saying that it is our internal matter. But experts say China’s economy shaken by developments in Hong Kong.

The situation has been almost out of control in Hong Kong for the past two months. The number of police and soldiers is constantly increased to monitor and control the people of Hong Kong.

China accused the United States & Other foreign powers, of inciting the demonstrations in Hong Kong.

Comment from a US lawmaker Tom Cotton

China has repeatedly said that it will not tolerate any kind of demonstrations. US lawmaker Tom Cotton commented that China’s use of force to suppress the protests would not be tolerated. Tom also said the US president demands that sanctions imposed and China is outraged some other MPs supporting Tom as well. The comments made after clarifying that the force would not use force to stop protests have made China more alarmed.

Travel advisory released by multiple nations

The United states requesting caution for travellers to the Hongkong in the wake of civil unrest and strong street protests.

“Hongkong protests, taking place without notice, are likely to continue”. The advisory raised to level 2 on a 4-point scale.

Australia warned their travellers in a fresh advisory.

The impact of the Hongkong protests in China

The devastating protests in Hong Kong are sure to directly impact China’s economy. China’s entire economy is directly dependent on foreign investment. Hong Kong is an important medium.

It would not be wrong to say that FDI arrives in China via Hong Kong. Hongkong’s image is better than China in the international market. Hong Kong is a financial hub for China. For that reason, China’s direct impact of demonstrations or instability of any kind will have a direct impact on China.
