Hong Kong politicians are kow towing to Beijing over extradition issues to mainland. I support the protesters on this. But sadly, 'one country, two systems' is quickly going the way of one system, which is whatever Beijing says. Which explains why so many Hong Kong people are heading to Canada. Taiwan, you may be next.
China is of course standing off with Trump over tariffs. Vietnam reported China is trying to get around that.
China is playing the long game and intends to win. China is going for the South China Sea, disputed islands with Japan, and Taiwan. It would not surprise me if China has plans to eventually go for the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore too.
