金融時報: 香港親共派 對習近平政府感到失望

金融時報 - 海外新聞主要評論員Gideon Rachman :

- 本來對中國樂觀, 但習近平令我改觀.

- 習近平政府已漸漸回復毛澤東時期的「一人獨大」, 而不是「一黨獨大」

- 香港親共派也漸漸對習近平政府感到失望.  因為香港親共派一直力勸習近平政府以靈活手法解決香港問題, 但習近平政府一直拒絕接受意見, 只願照舊保持強硬.

- 香港親共派甚至懷疑 他們的意見跟本未能傳到習近平的桌上.

- 部分親共派香港親共派甚至懷疑 習近平政府已經相信自己製造出來的propaganda (政治宣傳), 以為香港所有問題都由外國勢力製造出來

- 中國的經濟改革派也漸漸害怕習近平政府會扼殺中國的企業創業.

- 一位北京頂尖學者認為中國越來越像極權國家.

- 但沒有跡象顯示中國大陸會發生革命.  因為中共的維穩網絡與科技實在極度強大, 人民難以作出反抗.

Mr Xi also now faces a Hong Kong in open revolt. Even pro-Beijing figures in the territory are frustrated by their inability to persuade him to take a more flexible approach, and wonder if their advice ever makes it to his desk. Some fear that Beijing believes its own propaganda: that the problems in Hong Kong are the product of agitation by hostile foreign forces.
