SCMP: China set to step up tear gas production as demand for crowd control weapons booms at home and abroad
* While mainland China does not currently supply the Hong Kong police force, analysts expect growing civil unrest and higher military spending to boost domestic and export markets
* Chinese-made tear gas has been used against protesters around the globe, including anti-government protests in Sudan and Venezuela
China is expected to increase its production of tear gas and other crowd control weapons because of higher demand from domestic law enforcement and from abroad, according to manufacturers and market researchers.
Although Hong Kong – where tear gas has been extensively by police during the ongoing anti-government protests – relies on foreign suppliers, mainland China produces its own supplies along with other so-called “non-lethal” weapons such as acoustic and electromagnetic equipment.
These items have been used to equip both China’s own military and riot police and have also been exported around the globe.

China in rapid decline.
Once the people on the mainland get free access to the Internet back - someone will think of a way even if it's only for a couple days - they will be like "what the fuck is Xi doing? He's created dozens(!) of enemies over the last years, many of them with nukes, including NATO, the USA and Asian nations like India and Vietnam and Philippines and Australia's like wtf this guy is mad! " ...and then the streets will fill and then then tear gas will be used and people will see. ...and then change will come. If not, and if Putin keeps helping this madman Xi - who had his military personally sworn to him - who has himself declared emperor for life - we are looking at a very very dangerous new cold war.
And this time we might all die for real. We got very, very lucky last time because of heroes on both, the Russian and American, side. This "luck" and the thinking of these heroes to act bravely, was partially enabled because of a deep cultural connection (ethical, ethnical, cultural and religious) and it transcended animosities on the political and military and economic level. But this time. I don't know. Not even ethnicity or cultural believes are shared. Even the concept of personal dignity and human individual value is different. I don't see us survive if China keeps going this route. Xi must be stopped. Persuaded to stop this. But you cannot speak up in China. It's a very, very different culture in which the thought of the individual, especially of the younger ones is not valued and if you speak up you bring shame to all because you imply you don't believe in the leader. In our culture an idea must stand on its own and constructive criticism is incredibly valued.
We either give up or values and our way of life or we confront China and tell them we need to be free or we'll die trying. This needs to stop now and China needs to back down because a free man will never wear shackles again
Your comments remind me of a prediction I learned years ago. The Eagle and the Bear will come together and finally defeat the Snake.
