Meanwhile, In Hong Kong . . .

 .


 

Five members of a trade union for speech therapists have been arrested in Hong Kong... for conspiring to publish children's books. 

This must be condemned by everyone who cares about freedom of speech and freedom of thought.

And that's all I have to say. Because what else is there to be said?

You can read the CBC article about the arrest here.

An interesting op-ed by a Canadian diplomat, who I doubt is planning any trips to Beijing: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-us-and-its-allies-must-pursue-regime-change-in-china/

Wishful thinking, I suppose. I have his book on the ever-growing TBR list. It would be good to see the end of Chairman Xi's terrible regime!
