[China’s top lawmaking body has unveiled plans
to ensure only “patriots” can govern Hong Kong as Beijing tightens its grip on the city with electoral changes including a vetting process for all parliamentary candidates. In an annual “work report” delivered to Beijing’s most important political meeting on Friday, Premier Li Keqiang also swore to “resolutely guard against and deter” interference by external forces, amid growing international alarm at Beijing’s attacks on pro-democracy voices. Li also pledged to “resolutely deter any separatist activity” in Taiwan, and revealed significant economic and population goals for China’s future, including GDP growth above 6%.] https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-tightens-grip This a China making 100% sure no more Protests will be valid in China's Hong Kong Island.

it was never going to end any other way. They may have had another 10 years of freedom, but their pro democracy protests ended any chance of that

We need to take in as many people as we can, it is our fault for handing Hong Kong back to China when they obviously had no intent of following the terms of the deal. We left them stranded with a dictatorship breathing down their necks, we need to offer them an out.
Hong Kong is a hub of business and scientific development, we'd be lucky to welcome such talent into the UK. |

I can't believe that we're having to talk about Hong Kong people leaving their own homes though, and it's all because of that evil Government in China who won't let them be more independent.

[Apple Daily: Hong Kong pro-democracy paper announces closure
Hong Kong's largest pro-democracy paper Apple Daily has announced its closure, in a blow to media freedom in the city. The tabloid's offices were raided last week over allegations that several reports had breached a controversial national security law. Police detained the chief editor and five other executives, and company-linked assets were frozen. The publication had become a leading critic of the Hong Kong and Chinese leadership. The Apple Daily management said that "in view of staff members' safety", it had decided "to cease operation immediately after midnight" - making Thursday's publication the final printed edition.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-57578926 It was just a matter of time with China taking more Control of Hong Kong Media.
