Advisors to President Donald Trump were reportedly considering proposals to strike against the Hong Kong dollar peg, in response to China implementing a national security law on the city.

China has the world's largest foreign exchange reserves — at around $3 trillion, according to Reuters.

"Hong Kong and China's central government are prepared for this," ANZ's Yeung wrote, referring to the possibility of the U.S. undermining the peg. "Hong Kong's Financial Secretary Paul Chan has stated that even if the US takes measures to make Hong Kong dollar settlement inconvenient, the government has a contingency plan," he added,Analysts point out that banning Hong Kong from buying up U.S.

"To isolate Hong Kong from Wall Street and the dollar system could severely impair the HKD peg and Hong Kong's global financial center status, resulting in capital exodus," they said. DBS analysts said: "Given Hong Kong's importance as the third largest forex centre and its status as an international financial centre closely integrated with the global economy and financial system, it is improbable that the US would deny Hong Kong access to the USD clearing system."Demand for the Hong Kong dollar has surged this year, despite fears the peg could be threatened on the back of those U.S.-China tensions.

The new Hong Kong: Disappearing books, illegal words and arrests over blank white paperLess than two weeks under a new national security law enacted by Beijing, Hong Kong residents already feel a curtain of control falling over the city's realms of speech and thought. But twitter has words that can’t be used as well. United States has disappearing history books. Yikes. Let’s see if Lebron James will make a stand for Hong Kong. He promotes China, that slaves, and murders people by the millions. And the NBA, will bow to them as well. Instead they want to tell us there is white privilege. They are weak!! Sounds like the and nytimes and liberal media's tactics exactly. Leftists hate America
