Correct, the US (and by extension its allies) considered Hong Kong separately from the rest of China in areas like export controls and trade tariffs.[1]
China took full advantage of this, and the US is probably betting that revoking this special status hurts China more than it hurts the US.

I'm well aware; it cannot possibly be worse than where Hong Kong will be, is all I'm considering. Besides, the Brexit brain drain might actually work in my favour... ;)
That said, I'm open to other options; for example, I really liked Berlin as a tourist, but need to research more on what it's like to actually live there.

So I've finally convinced my wife that it's time to leave.
As a 40 year old software eng manager, where should I go? My top choice at the moment is London as my wife has British citizenship and several of my wife's friends are in Europe; I also have access to the E-3 visa so the US is also an option.
