It has crushed a desire for positive change and in the ashes has planted the seeds of its own destruction. I cannot imagine why a government which has pitched the last 10 years of its diplomatic policy on its the illusion of its own stability and desire for peaceful reconciliation would. at the merest of provocations use exactly the sort of destructive violence that it has denounced so often in other countries. How must the people in Hong Kong feel. a colony of refugees from the Chinese Communists who have reluctantly accepted the terms of the 1997 agreement? What about the people of Macau. themselves scheduled for repatriation in 1999? China has directed much energy toward an eventual reunification with Taiwan but I have a feeling it has now undermined any progress made.
