[grey-area]

So as long as you don't cross any of the constantly shifting and entirely arbitrary red lines (Tiananmen, Tibet, Lockdown, Taiwan, Xi, any gov policy) you're safe?

This sort of behaviour and cooking the books by falsifying data is not compatible with foreign investment or a growing economy.

Now Xi (and unfortunately the rest of China with him) will reap the inevitable consequences of his policy shift from relatively open to a closed dictatorship.
