Stephen Roach’s latest take on Hong Kong and China…

“The spark is gone. After having spent the past week in Beijing and Hong Kong, there can be no mistaking a darkening mood in both cities. Their unbridled enthusiasm and can-do energy have given way to a relatively grim sense… https://t.co/75vpIVIN9i pic.twitter.com/BwxlzKYGkv

The mood is darkening in both Beijing and Hong Kong — worrisome ahead of China’s 3rd Plenum and the “judicial patriotism” now undermining HK’s rule of law. Intense pushback from HK government. My latest take after having spent a week in both cities. https://t.co/4LEiRmq9P7

The rule of law is at the top of the list of those arguing against my position that “Hong Kong is over.” Recently resigned HK Judge Sumption presents a strong case to the contrary —warning of the mounting perils of “judicial patriotism.” Deeply disturbing. https://t.co/Lttr7bkKpP

”I was an overseas judge of the Court of Final Appeal until my resignation last week. I remained on the court in the hope that the presence of overseas judges would help sustain the rule of law. I fear that this is no longer realistic.” https://t.co/LZBa2C5lOf

The sad rants of Regina Ip. HK needs leaders with a strategic vision rather than a PR script that fixates on me. Facing PRC-centric economic and political constraints, marginalized by the GBA, and suffering a talent exodus, Ip’s denial deepens my concerns. https://t.co/zzB0Pc9PW1

Stephen Roach doesn't really understand Hong Kong and he is irrelevant to our furure. People should stop treating him as though he were an oracle on Hong Kong.https://t.co/Crigm2a2vi

Hong Kong legislator + CCP stooge Regina Ip wrote a rebuttal letter to FT in response to Stephen Roach’s article last week… Ip took a page out of the CCP playbook and blamed everything on foreigners… 🤦🏻

No, the US didn’t curb capital flows into Hong Kong. That’s not why stocks… https://t.co/cU2Z4C2XtT pic.twitter.com/jHZyIpbKKQ

#ReginaIP still harping for the #CCP/#CPC hoping they'll throw her a bone and make her #HKSAR #ChinaziExecutive one day (prob not going to happen due to her Standford time among other things (like being as stupid as a steamed bun.)) … #JustSaying https://t.co/OnnEyaLNGH

Messi plays in Japan but not in Hong Kong… CCP stooge Regina Ip goes “wolf warrior” but she doesn’t represent Hong Kong people at all…

Stirring up nationalism by claiming the presence of foreign “black hand” or influences comes straight from the CCP playbook.

Xi Jinping has at least $700 million in hidden wealth invested via proxies in the U.S. and Europe.

There's your Communist leader who tells his people to struggle but doesn't even trust his own country for his wealth. https://t.co/v1CDjJaQ3d
