SR, this I doubt sincerely.  CHAZ/CHOP is landlocked, completely dependent upon its neighbors in all directions, unable to grow its own food or generate its own power, populated with people of unknown loyalty.

Stay and watch.  Their name change from CHAZ to CHOP is an early indication they see dim prospects in the immediate future.  In any autonomy, any autocrat is free to auto-select herself as the new or rival autocrat.

Hong Kong, on the other hand, hard to say where that ends.

I suspect life will return to normal within CHAZ/CHOP in two to four weeks.
