definitely.. think this has been the playbook since at least Xi's Davos keynote 3 days before Trump's inauguration

I'm sure acceleration was always the plan. I'd guess 1) Xi has DJT's (private) blessing (so long as china does truncheoning w/o making him look dumb), 2)DJT thinks being milquetoast on HK is a savvy play& 3)the politburo defacto gameplanned extradition & will subsequent invasion.

Seeing this as accelerated by China seems incorrect to me. What I see is a critical mass of protesters who want the hard experience, pushing and pushing till they got it. Do we have any analyses of what's going on that don't immediately fit this into the standard narrative?

ie an analysis by someone who got ANYTHING from the recent past (Orange Revolution?, Arab Spring?, Brexit?) correct. All I see is "mad libs David and Goliath edition" or "Fantasy Island (now with extra fantasy)".
