China: Building a ‘Patriots Only’ Hong Kong
- China’s government has erased Hong Kong’s freedoms since imposing the draconian National Security Law on June 30, 2020.
- The Chinese government has largely dismantled freedoms of expression, association and assembly, free and fair elections, fair trial rights and judicial independence, and ended the city’s semi-democracy.
- Other governments should press the Chinese government to end its repressive policies in Hong Kong by holding responsible officials to account.
