Translations: One Apple Falls, And A Thousand Apples Grow
Posted by John Chan | Jun 25, 2021
In a year of wretched milestones for Hong Kong’s civil liberties, this week stands apart, with the closure of Hong Kong’s only pro-democracy legacy newspaper, Apple Daily. From the arrest of five Apple Daily executives last Friday to the shuttering of the newspaper on Wednesday night, it took less than one week for the Hong Kong government to bury one of the city’s most popular newspapers.
On Friday, more news: less than one week after freezing Apple Daily’s assets, Secretary for Security John Lee will become the number two official in the Hong Kong government. It is the first time in post-colonial history that an ex-police and security official will assume the role of Chief Secretary. The police commissioner, Chris Tang, will replace him as head of the expansive Security Bureau.
