hong kong: Other topics, including the Taiwan question, China-US trade war and populism will also be discussed at the forum, according to Global Times China. In his opening remarks, Global Times Editor-in-Chief Hu Xijin said one of the most unforgettable things in 2019 must be Hong Kong social unrest . He added that there must be a strong force behind the changes that suddenly turned one of the world's largest financial centers to one of the most chaotic and lawless cities in the world. This year the Hong Kong-related issues have for the first time become the focus of discussions at the annual forum amid the ongoing months-long social unrest in the city. He also described the China-US friction as a mixture of opera and square dancing and the current relationship between China and the US as turbulent and fraught with uncertainty. Hong Kong lawmaker Junius Ho Kwan-yiu said governing Hong Kong according to law is a basic condition to solve the current problem of the city and he believes the nature of the crisis gripping Hong Kong is an attempted color revolution and currency war. Qiang Shigong, a law professor at Peking University, warned that we should be cautious of the Hong Kong crisis transforming into a situation like that of Taiwan and that there is danger of the issue becoming one about recognition of the national identity.
