China's ludicrous new Hong Kong strategy

Subject: China's ludicrous new Hong Kong strategy Sat Nov 02, 2019 8:18 pm

Alarmed by continuing protests, China has a new strategy for Hong Kong. It's predictably authoritarian and entirely idiotic.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the plan centers on three tenets: more patriotic education, more surveillance of Hongkongers, and more control over the city's political system. Each of those steps is in overt breach of the Sino-British declaration, and Beijing's treaty commitment to respect Hong Kong's political freedom until at least 2047. Beyond that observation, however, this strategy is just absurd.
First off, the strategy fundamentally fails to recognize that the Hong Kong protests are not rooted in the protesters inadequate patriotic knowledge, but their overt rejection of Chinese Communist Party per se. Beijing's problem is that Hongkongers understand the nature of regime and despise it for that reason. They are not patriotic not because they don't understand Communist China, but because they understand it all too well. China's delusional diagnosis of the problem here is matched by its intended solution.
