Hong Kong is important coz it's a business and financial center, people around the world care about their money, and the lingering hope of American political designs on China.

> Clinton began his term believing that trade sanctions could pressure China to improve human rights conditions. But after a year of debilitating debate, he was forced to reverse his policy of link- ing trade to human rights. >He was right to do so. By continuing to grant MFN to China, Clinton will help advance the $38 billion trading relationship which the U.S. now enjoys with the world's fastest growing economy. Moreover, by increasing prosperity in China through greater trade, the U.S. can help to create the economic freedoms that are the foundation upon which political freedom will someday emerge.
>Clinton began to end this spectacle of confusion last week when he decided to renew MFN almost with- out condition. Perhaps the most important aspect of his decision is philosophical; the President has now adopted the view that trade relations must be separated from U.S. political goals with China. Moreover, he has endorsed the view that increased U.S.-China trade can promote economic freedoms, which in the long run will spur the growth of political freedoms in China.
>This step alone will help to reassure Asian friends and adversaries that Clinton plans to get a better grip on foreign policy.
>Now that Clinton has reversed his policy, he should move quickly to exact a price-of Beijing's cooperation in two areas of critical concern to the U.S. They are:
* Ending North Korea's nuclear threat...
* Better treatment for Hong Kong and Taiwan... -

The translation is soft, literally it should be:
>... are filled with indignation and strongly condemn it, also absolutely object to ...

The west should quit pretending that the majority of Chinese hate the CCP.

In the game of pledging allegiance, any resemblance of disloyalty will be crucified.

This is just inevitable, if it's not NBA, it could be any big company who gets caught in it, execs can pretend it will be all good and surely do wish this day comes as late as possible so they can make the most of it.
This is like many things in the current world, vicious cycles, the more unsympathetic ordinary Chinese perceive outside China, the more they will embrace the CCP and strongmen, the more powerful the party will be.
And solution seems don't exist. Xi said "You don't eat the meal then break the wok", So there's only one question:
Who's next?

He's not native speaker.
The stories alledge that he argued with his Indian boss (which commonly features in all kinds of Chinese stories about Sillicon Valley tech companies), was denied request to change group, an emergency project was assigned to him, attempts to extend the dealine failed, the fear of being fired and family visas revoked drove him to that tragedy.
The story went viral in China, played on his past of being local National Exam champion from modest upbringing, and the popular notion of Chinese being coolies in SV and widely discriminated in the US.
