I have explained to TJ already but for avoidance of doubt here it goes again. China's policies are direct inwardly as the Nomenklatura needs to show to the masses China is powerful and will not be bullied bu the foreigners. That, while pretending to be strong to internal consumption, displays weaknesses to us outsiders. How can a powerful country be afraid of one of its citizens winning the Nobel Price? Norway, China normalize ties after Nobel Peace Prize row reuters.com Or be afraid of an artistic expression? China’s UK Ambassador Has Nothing But Contempt for Ai Weiwei’s Art news.artnet.com HK must not show any balls ever. Else it becomes just like any other Chinese city. To show the rest of China that they will not budge to any challenges, they will bring HK into the fold as a message to Taiwan. China would have gone Russia if not for Deng opening the country for capitalism. Going Russia means dismembering like the USSR empire. China would have been Balkanized after Cold War if not for Deng reforms. This fear of balkanization is still there.
