The Shift in Hong Kong's Political Landscape

This chapter examines the drastic changes in Hong Kong's Legislative Council following the enforcement of a new security law that curtails dissent and strengthens Beijing's control. With pro-democracy legislators resigning and elections being canceled under the guise of COVID-19 concerns, the absence of opposition raises urgent questions about the territory's democratic future. The narrative delves into the implications of these developments for Hong Kong's autonomy and the ongoing struggle for political representation amidst increasing authoritarianism.
