Calling Xi Jinping a clown is enough to get arrested. Other times, those corruption allegations are either selectively enforced or made up. It can be hard to tell because China has poor rule of law. That’s why Hong Kong had long played an outsized role in the Chinese economy. It is part of the Chinese economy, but before the recent “security” law it had very strong rule of law. And before you misinterpret me, strong rule of law means that the people are governed by clear, well defined laws instead of by either fiat or laws that can be flexed to target damn near anyone.
