"The reunification remains a priority for Beijing, said Veerle Nouwens, a research fellow in the Asia-Pacific region at the Royal United Services Institute, a defense think tank. "China has continued to exercise at sea and in the air in the South China Sea and around Taiwan," Nouwens said. "This is not particularly new but takes place in a wider context of increasing Chinese assertiveness on its borders and in the surrounding region.""

"Taking a "harsh retaliatory stance" could close doors to future investments elsewhere in Europe, said Veerle Nouwens, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a British defense and security think tank. "Irrespective of Chinese grandstanding, we can't forget that China is also still recovering economically from the pandemic. It may therefore feel that the costs of reacting very strongly against the UK may outweigh the benefits of doing so," Nouwens added."

"Xi always seems to act as though in a hurry. In playing global grandmother’s footsteps, he is the child who rushes large distances, rather than quietly advancing one step at a time. He may have reason to do so in Hong Kong. September will see Legco elections. The overwhelming victory of the democrats at the expense of the pro-Beijing parties in November’s district council elections hints at the possibility of the democrats winning control in Legco. It is not a risk the CCP will take. "
