Hong Kong in the Sights of Xi JP

      So, the pandemic of Covid-19 has been brought under control in China. Maybe, maybe not.  Regardless of facts pertaining to the virus,  Beijing and Xi signaled a new crackdown on Hong Kong and its pro-Democracy movement.  In the interest of national security, Beijing issued a new statement regarding law and its administration in the 'Special" province of the City.  essentially, the Hong Kong people will feel the full weight of the Chinese Communist government now and for the future.  No more Mr. Nice Guy.
       Mr. Xi has had his authority questioned as a result of his handling of the virus outbreak in Wuhan in December/January.   Now it seems he has some room to go after the students and their followers in Hong Kong.  He must feel confident that the world is preoccupied with dealing with public health and the containment efforts made by all nations against the spread of Covid.  Hmmm.  So, we have the Chinese hacking problem; we have the human rights violations problem; we have the South China Sea problem; we have the money lending efforts to vulnerable 3rd world country problem; we have the Belt & Road policy problem; we have the military build up along the Pacific Rim problem; we have the economic decline problem ; we have the lack of consumption in China problem; we have the quality control problem; and lets not forget the virus.
     Have a nice day.
