God, that democracy 'schtick' can be really, really embarrassing! Especially when you are the self-appointed 'Leader-for-Life' of 1.42 billion Chinese people as Xí Jìnpíng is supposed to be. Just one tiny election in a minute, single-city enclave and the 'dreaded Peeps' had the nerve to stick two fingers up at the self-important little gangster! Saying "bollocks to the Bishop' hardly comes near it!
I can't help wondering how long the Central Committee is going to allow this 'loss of face' embarrassment to continue. Of course, they think, because they're monumentally 'stoopid', that because they control the 'meeja' no-one else in China knows what is going on - suckers! How long, I wonder, before 'Ping-a-ling's fellow gangsters take action to stop this threat to their own gangster fiefdoms?
Let's hear it for plucky little Hong Kong!
The coming clash between freedom vs communism. For China, Hong Kong must be dealt with but so must a trade deal with Donald Trump. Pray for HK.

So this pops up elsewhere: Business in China today like business in Russia in the 1990s.
