July 1 2020 was the 23rd anniversary of Britain handing Hong Kong back to China who reportedly took charge on the evening of June 30. Ten people have been arrested amid protests and a further 360 or so according to recent news who are suspected of previous offences. Political groups are said to be disbanding, activists are believed to be fleeing overseas and posters supporting the protests have been ripped down. Issues are said to be the pro-democracy movement and threats to national security such as collusion. The western emphasis on China’s ethics even though they were victims of colonialism and exploitation is believed to be focused on opposition to the secret police, said to be feared. According to a recent report they are now operating in the city. In mainland China there have been reports of women who were sexually abused whilst in custody because of political differences.
