Big @WSJ @LyonsNotes @frances_jisun piece on the qn consuming HK. Btw, Allan Zeman: this is not the ringing endorsement for freedom you seem to think it is: "I still do whatever I want & say whatever I want, as long as I choose not to be an antagonist." wsj.com/articles/hong-…
I wonder how this embarrassing scoop about Hong Kong’s National Security police impacts police threats to crack down on the press. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…
On “National Security Education Day”, Hong Kong’s Police Debut the Goose Step as City Marches to Beijing’s Tune wsj.com/articles/hong-…
