Xi Goes Full-On Trump

The Hong Kong government has postponed September's parliamentary elections by a year, saying it is necessary amid a rise in coronavirus infections.
China's hand-picked puppet, Carrie Lam, says that she made the decision, but that's a laugh. Lam doesn't wipe her ass without the consent of Chairman Xi.

(You know, sort of like the dynamic between Trump and Putin.)

Xi, er, Lam, is also removing non-Beijing-approved candidates from the ballot, so whenever they get around to holding the election, it will be essentially meaningless.

This has taken considerably longer than I expected, but is the expected result. People were given about twenty years to get out, it’s on them now. Businesses, they’re just enjoying the coming cheap labor and reduced rents.

I agree. The writing's been on the wall since the handover in 1997.

China appears not to care about the lost Hong Kong domestic income from cracking down on democracy even though China's economy is in meltdown. Always more important for the dictatorial, conspiritorial 'elite' communist party to maintain control than for people to get enough to eat. Anyone could have seen it coming and made plans to flea. Though being a forced immigrant running from dictatorship must be a fearsome thing without boatloads of dough. Good luck to them.
