The lights are going out in HK. My poor friends there.
Autocracies do not tolerate criticisms of the government or any kind of transparency, and those who try to shine a light on despotism are treated as enemies of the state.

What a shame for China to snuff out this once vibrant city with its dynamic culture and economy. In the long run, these actions are going to hurt China in many, many ways.

All the police in that raid should be ashamed. Following an illegal order is a crime in many places.
I'm surprised not to read that Beijing didn't confiscate all the newspaper prints immediately.
