I doubt many are thinking about why now China is cracking down on Hong Kong but it may well be

due to them realizing trump is going to lose reelection. They know he won’t stop them or do anything other than bluster and fume ineffectually as he always does.

Their real concern is that Biden will actually do something about everything going on in the South China Sea zone, including Hong Kong. But if it’s already a done act, little can be done short of all out war.

Biden is from a different intellectual and practical world....basically America good, China bad, at least politically. Trump is considered by most of the worlds leaders as a classic dumb ass who can be counted on to be cowardly and self dealing.
