    China arresting a diplomatic delegation would be considered an act of war. China has absolutely nothing to gain by attacking individual Statesian CEOs, and far more to gain by building alternative partnerships that sidestep the US and Europe altogether, if need be, which is what they have been ramping up in the last decade (and why the heat is turning up).

    What would China gain from arresting any of these goons, who would immediately be replaced? You’re treating them like they believe themselves to be, special individuals that got to the top through merit and cannot be easily replaced, when in reality it’s the working classes that built them.
