Uh oh:
China’s president Xi Jinping has warned efforts to divide or destabilise China will end with “shattered bones,” as international pressure mounts over the government’s handling of protests in Hong Kong and a widespread crackdown on Muslim minority groups.
“Anyone attempting to split China in any part of the country will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones,” Mr Xi said, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
I tend to think that is a literal rather than figurative threat.
I fear bones will be broken and the only way for Hong Kong to survive with their freedoms mostly intact is to break the legitimacy of Peking's rulers and crush the Chinese Communist Party.
I hope the odds of that aren't as long as they seem.
And a reminder that Michael Yon is filming in Hong Kong, and moved his videos to YouTube from Facebook.
