More CCP tyranny.
With Hong Kong's streets in recent months cleared of mass protests due to the coronavirus, legislators and activists in the city's pro-democracy camp say the Communist Party and the Hong Kong authorities have used the opportunity to cripple their movement through a multipronged approach while world attention has been diverted elsewhere by the pandemic.
Aside from the mass arrests and increasingly pointed declarations about China's "supervisory" role over the city, Chinese officials in Hong Kong, including the newly installed director of the central government's liaison office, Luo Huining, have called for improved "national security education" in Hong Kong and the passage of a national security law that would toughen up law enforcement and prosecutorial powers to help prevent protests. |
