And so it begins …?

 

Front page South China Morning Post
Well done China! Not that all critics of Jimmy Lai, the owner p, really wanted this, bit that’s why you get when you piss off an authoritarian dictateial government. You’ve already called them tyrants and Nazis. What did you expect they’d do?

So far, this paper, the South China Morning Post seems to be getting along ok. Still reporting and stil critical. I’ve thought that perhaps that’s because it’s English language and Beijing is not worried by expats playing in their little sand pit. Then again, the obsession with national security, secession, and all, is focussed on foreign influence. So that’s a slight puzzle.
