It's amazing to me that anyone even discusses whether the #CCP will live up to its promises on anything. How many examples of disingenuous agreements/promises do you need?
The only way the CCP ever complies is if you have the leverage to force it to (or it has one over on you).

This is so predictable that we might call it "Mao's Law." 1st draft, anyone care to edit?
"The #CCP's compliance w/ any agreement is independent of the nature or details of that agreement; happens only when 1) you have powerful leverage or 2) it's fleecing you & you can't tell"
"The #CCP's compliance w/ any agreement is independent of the nature or details of that agreement; happens only when 1) you have powerful leverage or 2) it's fleecing you & you can't tell"
Another version of, or perhaps a corollary to, "Mao's Law":
"Any promise or agreement the #CCP makes, it will break, and if you take issue with this you will find yourself in jail, bankrupt, or 'hurting the feelings of the Chinese people.'"
"Any promise or agreement the #CCP makes, it will break, and if you take issue with this you will find yourself in jail, bankrupt, or 'hurting the feelings of the Chinese people.'"
Here's a 3rd variant of "Mao's Law," thanks to @ikaxiao72's thoughtful commentary:
"'Goodwill' is not a concept the #CCP can remotely conceive of. In making agreements, it only considers raw power, and sees itself as entitled all of existence."
