Analysis: China dares Trump to hit back with Hong Kong power grab

On the first day of China’s biggest political event of the year, Xi Jinping sent a clear message to Donald Trump: We’re going to do what we want in Hong Kong, and we’re not scared of the consequences.

“Xi feels threatened, the leadership feels threatened — this is a crisis,” said David Zweig, an emeritus professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and director of Transnational China Consulting Ltd. “This is, ‘We’re not going to give an inch, we’re going to tighten up, and Hong Kong’s national security as a potential subversive centre is greater than its economic value.’”

“We will strive to keep existing jobs secure, work actively to create new ones, and help unemployed people find work,” Li said. “The Chinese leadership does not want to be accused of walking away or reneging on the U.S.-China trade agreement,” said James Green, a former State Department official who is now a senior adviser for geopolitical consulting firm McLarty Associates. “If it fails, in their view, the U.S. will have to be the one to pull the trigger and walk away.”

No matter what, U.S. actions won’t have much impact on how China governs Hong Kong given the recent decisions in Beijing, according to Antony Dapiran, a lawyer based in the city and author of “City on Fire: The Fight for Hong Kong.”

Why would any country make an agreement with China if China does not keep the “one country, two systems” agreement?
