:::In July 2020, Trump signed a law to impose sanctions if China acted against Hong Kong. It was certainly a big deal in Hong Kong. For a few months, it seemed like the crisis was over. From December 2020 to February 2022, the city was under covid lockdown. In May 2021, Hong Kong was caught by surprise when Beijing announced that it would impose a national security law after all.

We've gone from 'speak softly and carry a big stick" {lick Russia and China do) to "Shout like a blowhard and carry a useless Javelin missile".
