An explanation of Article 23 and the implication of how "foreign collusion" can be interpreted since it's still vague last I checked.

Hong Kong’s own NSL passed in Leg Co.

Some (token) opposition members now have made their social media posts hidden or had them removed.

Not surprised that HK SAR wants to fight for that.

China Observer mentioned this on the wave of mainland Chinese persons moving to HK. The HK Top Talent Pass Scheme is mentioned as propaganda since mainlanders are indicated as the majority of new HK residents.

According to the "Passenger Flow Statistics" released by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, from July 2020 to June 2023, a total of 6.33 million Hong Kong residents departed through the airport, with only 5.8 million returns. This indicates a net outflow of 530,000 people over these three years, marking the most severe population loss in nearly 60 years. This trend is particularly pronounced among young people in their twenties, including high-end professionals like doctors, nurses, teachers, and financial sector workers.

Update to say that I asked a moderator on whether it's fine to change the title since the protests are long dead and the NSL in HK is making it hard for most legit protests to go ahead.

Sad and true. I don't think anti-NSL protests are gonna happen in our lifetime.

It really shows the limits of protest when confronting a regime that doesn't really need to worry about public opinion.

Meanwhile, Beijing's continuing to harass the HK community overseas.

Matthew Trickett (Home Office immigration officer/head of consulting firm MTR), accused of helping Chinese intelligence hunt down pro-HK democracy dissidents in the UK, was found dead after he's allowed bail.

He worked with Chi Leung Wai (Peter Wai) (UK Border Force officer/City of London Police special constable) and Chung Biu Yuen (ex-HKPF officer turned trade official with the HKSAR government - He's stationed in London) to keep an eye on the community. Likely on behalf of MSS and/or the HKSAR government.

He provided recordings where the NSD will find him.
