"Xi's History Points to a Hardline on Hong Kong"
By Steven Lee Myens
New York Times July 5, 2019
Recent statements from China's official and semi-official sources and past statements of Xi including one in 1989 when he was in Fujian point to the probable unfolding events:
1. Mobilization of "a vast network of" pro-Beijing "supporters in Hong Kong" to counter and contain the mass movement.
2. Failing the measure above, Being may launch a pinpointed para-military operation on the leaders of the Hong Kong mass demonstrations, employing non-bloody instruments of war of paralysis.
3. Failing even that, the para-military forces will take over Hong Kong with the PLA stationed outside.
Cold-blooded analysis apart, one prays for the most peaceful and at least the least violent solution awaiting at the end of tunnel of uncertainty.
