Same boring show

It seems that Ching Cheong will be charged as a spy. I suppose there will be some sort of show trial, then someone from the United States will make a high-level visit to Beijing a few months after he is convicted, in preparation for that trip Mr Ching will be released, probably into exile to the United States, and in the meantime journalists in Hong Kong will assimilate the fact that they can only talk about topics within the parameters set by the CCP.

Perhaps there will be some protests in Hong Kong, I don't know. I wonder why Beijing thinks this sort of charade is interesting: it's the same trick over and over again.

Dammit, I still cant get BBC up here in the mainland, and this would be an interesting article, I'm sure. But Beijing never tires of the act, it's truly amazing.
