This merely exacerbates what I wrote earlier about what China.

Companies must be quaking in their boots about any employees they have in China. It matters not whether they are expatriates or local chinese.

hostage diplomacy will not attract companies to china. Arresting local employees on so called national security grounds does the same thing.

What China is doing will do long term damage to their economy as companies simply make the decision is it too hard to trade with China or to have subsidiaries in China.
