Would add, need it be added, that the CCP and Xi wish to avoid the fate of Gorbachev from 1989-1991, whereby concessions to protesters and dissidents saw not just the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact but of the Soviet Union itself.
China's historic state is regional warlords or a strong central government. There is no "cooperative federalism" model in Chinese history. Suspect, strongly, that the CCP would prefer Xi bring down the hammer in HKG soon and risk Taiwan resisting all unification overtures.
PLA ostentatiously parking this amount of kit in Shenzhen serves as a warning for HKG protesters. Suspect the many PRC agents provocateur in crowds start to ramp up faux violence so as to "demand" a PLA response. The PLA is much more Soviet than Sun Tzuhttps://www.apnews.com/3fe7654b146b4f85b8f34f8f68881133 …

Australia and other Western nations really need to plan for a surge in Hong Kong residents (both there and studying/working here) who will require asylumhttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/i-m-not-sure-if-i-can-go-back-to-hong-kong-safely-the-australian-uni-students-afraid-to-go-home?fbclid=IwAR1aRsGde52XeK0CDwrfGBUYMbPVB-otxUiH9ilF62PGBnOXrW3PMwQCjX0 …
Mistake to think Beijing needs another 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. The Leninist PRC's state security apparatus has (with Big Tech's help) pioneered Orwellian technologies to enable Beijing to target dissidents+'un-person' them/families.....without any need for tanks & bullets
Again, you are wrong on this. There is no large-scale facial recognition system that can do this right now. This whole analysis is kind of bonkers.
