Plus a lot of vulnerabilities in Windows 10 or 11 also exist in Windows XP but they're no longer mentioned.

Windows XP on it's own, behind Windows Firewall and a router firewall not doing anything too controversial may be fine. Where the risks become higher is when you have many machines across the network. That one host would lower the overall security of everything else around limiting the ability to disable weak protocols.

Backwards compatibility with Windows/AD has always caused issues with Active Directory becoming such a juicy target in the way system-to-systems interacted.

Does anyone have any insights to how enterprises will be managing passkeys for corporate accounts with the potential of creds being leaked to potential compromised devices.

That would never happen because HK is already part of China, while it's political system differs than Mainland China - It's still effectively China. It has PLA garrisons all around HK.

Would highly recommended reading about Taiwan. Taiwan is what China should be but with the amount of manipulation and corruption i don't see it ever happening.
