I think things escalated in Hong Kong much quicker than the CCP wanted--Shanghai isn't ready to take its place. But Shanghai is the long game, and business leaders in HK know that.
- khuey 6y agoShanghai doesn't (and never will, at the rate things are going) have things that international companies care about like the rule of law.
- wahern 6y agoI don't disagree, but what matters for HK's fate is what the CCP believes is possible and, presently, particularly what Xi Jinping believes.
- z3ncyberpunk 6y agoSince when do international companies care about laws? If they did, tax havens wouldn't be a thing.
