But that would violate "one country, two system" pledge, which would damage the creditability of Beijing. Henceforth whatever Beijing says will be suspect. I don't think this issue is critical enough to take such a hit.

Li Ka-shing has played his part, non-patriotic capitalists have no use in China and HK today. Laying corruption charges on his family business is easy as pie.

Sometimes Taiwanese media are the most truthful. It would be ironic if CTI news becomes the major local news that remains after reunification.

There is a reason why states should not get involved in purely commercial dealings casually, because henceforth *all* commercial dealings will be treated as political.

I read somewhere before that "economics" was actually more of "political economics" before, joined together, then after ww2, world became kinda stable politically, unipolar, and forgot abt the "political" part.

LMAO, "commercial dealings".

Sir this is 2025, did you just come out of prison or a time machine?

Anything that was negotiated by a private enterprise alone is a commercial dealing by definition.
As far as China is concerned, this is a commercial dealing.

What exactly is your definition? I failed to understand your reasoning. Could you explain without resorting to ad hominem insult and self evident reasoning?

Likely or not, that becomes a convention. And like all 'rules', this favors the stronger side. Since China now dominates the international trade, China has an incentive to preserve this rule.

And US, by flaunting the rule it has established, it now invites response in kind. And by responding in a targeted fashion, China retains moral high point and preserve the rule for dealing with the rest -- hence retaining the benefits.
