China has growing pains as it becomes a world super power

Issues of an internal nature, relating to the governance of Hong Kong have become today's headlines around the world!  How will China deal with Hong Kong?  Given that Beijing believes in provincial governance, it should decide to let Hong Kong handle its affairs independently of Beijing when it concerns only its own self-governance.

But if Beijing assumes the stance of an autocracy (dictating to every province its will from Beijing), it will impose its own will and suffer whatever the consequences of that interference will bring.

That's what I believe.
