On the wall of the League of Social Democrats office, the Chinese characters for freedom are spelt out with court admission slips.

Members of the party take turns speaking into a microphone connected to a loudspeaker. They stand in front of a banner that reads “rather be ashes than dust”, written in Chinese. Founded close to 20 years ago, the party is known as the last protest group in Hong Kong.

“The red lines are now everywhere,” Chan Po Ying, the chair of the party, tells the BBC. “Our decision to disband was because we were facing a lot of pressure.”

    Amazing how you attribute no fault to China, who would be doing the actual killing. No, instead it’s the US’ fault that China wants to murder these people.

      China doesnt want to murder them, but America would sacrifice every person on the island if needed. They are separate points.
