NFTs offer haven as authors self-censor amid intensifying crackdown on free expression. As Hong Kong’s publishing industry feels the growing weight of the political, legal and social changes China’s communist party has imposed on the city, a Taiwan-based auction house is selling non-fungible tokens of manga artwork created in the former British colony as a way of preserving its distinct culture and history. Lootex, a decentralized, Taipei-headquartered NFT marketplace, recently held a sale of NFTs of the first volume of “Buddha’s Palm,” a famous Hong Kong manga series first published in the 1980s.  The NFT platform quickly sold out of a total of 20 copies, each sold for 0.05 BinanceCoin (about US$15.60 at press time), according to Lootex Co-founder and CEO Justine Lu.
