For decades, Beijing followed a policy of ‘hide your strength and bide your time’, but since Xi’s accession that has changed, creating alarm in the West over China’s growing influence. As Xi faces his greatest test yet - a confrontation in Hong Kong - how will the newly resurgent China react? *Trigger warning: CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES.
