Apparent criminality in the Scottish government - a comparison with China in 1793, when Lord Macartney visited

Now that we now that almost everyone of note in the SNP is trying to cover their tracks about their murderous Covid policy (which killed old agers in care homes due to infections received in hospitals), it seems pointless to comment on Scottish politics anymore. 

We are the victims of a coup d’etat and neither of the two organisations which are supposed to safeguard legality, the British government (constitutional) and the Scottish police (criminal), seem interested in doing anything about it. Either they are corrupt or complacent.

What lessons can we derive in this crisis from the story of the mission of Lord Macartney to Peking in 1793 to open trade relations with the richest country on earth?
