    Theoretically I agree it's interesting. But how likely? Not very in my opinion. Beijing will never allow a non-Chinese to be the CE, no matter how pro-establishment he or she is. It smacks too much of the colonial era when a foreign Brit is the governor.

    Not only that. They want full loyalty, immediate obediance and enough leverage should those first two not work out. Impossible in Zeman's case. It would also not be conform with the domestic messaging why a foreign white man was made leader in a Chinese territory.

    Alan Zeman is Chinese.
