I think the argument is that there wasn’t any movement to take control of Hong Kong and replace its basically independent government for years. Until there was.
Same with the whole China Sea expansion. Circumstances can change on a dime and the optimal outcome is if nothing happens.
Hong Kong had become a safe haven for corrupt capitalists and politicians so China decided to start extradition to the mainland so they could be put in jail instead of bribing they’re way out of every change. Hong Kong still has plenty of autonomy.
As for the Sea expansion, they claimed the 9 dash line after world war 2 and we’ve been arguing over it ever since. They’re being reactive to America’s constant provocation. Nothing will come of any of it though.
Remember Hong Kong?
