Geo Political Risk

[Davexl]

How will a challenge to President Xi play out? I thought he was establishing quite a solid footing.

He appears to be safe for now, attempting to snuff out the Democratic freedoms of Hong Kong, one of the key sources of cross-border Democratic ideas.

However in the longer term, he has already failed, starting with Tienanmen, a whole generation of liberal Chinese waiting for an opportunity,

and the economic failures and mass unemployment brought on by Covid 19, he has to take responsibility for all of it, under his personality cult -

and for people like Liu Xiaobo who kept the flame burning...writing & circulating the Democratic manifesto "Charter 08".
