"Chairman Xi's reign of terror in Hong Kong has now gutted the remnant of the city's elected democratic opposition. Xi cannot tolerate a political system in Hong Kong that is anything less than an unblemished rubber stamp for his despotic policies. Those continuing to fight for democracy in Hong Kong should know the free world stands with them." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
