Media mogul Jimmy Lai has been arrested. Press freedoms are being curtailed; elections are postponed. Businesses hope Hong Kong will settle on a model resembling Singapore. That looks far-fetched, argues petesweeneypro:
Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai became the highest-profile person to be arrested under a new national security law on Aug. 10. He was detained over suspected collusion with foreign forces. Around 200 police searched the offices of his Next Digital-owned Apple Daily newspaper.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam on July 31 postponed a Sept. 6 election to the Chinese-ruled city's legislature by a year because of a rise in coronavirus cases, dealing a blow to the pro-democracy opposition which had hoped to make huge gains.
