Description
Summary:[...]any discussion about authoritarianism should also pay attention to the geopolitical role that China plays. Amid China's rising wolf warrior diplomacy, economic cooperation with China is increasingly subject to Beijing's intimidation, from economic sanctions to hostage diplomacy. [...]Australia's recent win in a trade war against China and the victory of Taiwan "freedom pineapples" perfectly exemplify that cutting the dependence on China is not implausible. While Hong Kong remains a significant global financial center, these new political red lines will certainly influence foreign investment in the town due to the deterioration of judicial independence, declining rule of law, and the risk of further security legislations as Beijing loyalists dominate the legislature.
