I think it is a very obvious response to the economic Bullying being used against it by the US. China is using what it has to fight back. Europe and many western countries have invested heavily in Hongkong.
Remember democracy is merely an illusion.
One system of government is no different from a other. Try demonstrating against Trumps arms sales to the Saudi Regime and see how far you get.
When money is involved they all work together.
I point you to the international space station. The US is reliant at the moment on the Russians. That may change but will they stop them from using it in the future?

Dear @andyjem
It is an illusion to some degree. But at the same time democracy is the only reason why some politicians (especially those who aren't yet in power and are just "climbing up") will care about some groups of people (supporters).
I just had a chance to read you comment (somehow i didn't notice your reply earlier on) and I wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughts. Appreciate it.
Yours
Piotr
Yes @crypto.piotr I like to believe all politicians start out with good ideals. But the system is so strong and well intrenched that most just fall in line. Power and money soon start to influence their decisions.
