Way back in my very first Weekend Book Recommendations post, I mentioned Among the Braves: Hope, Struggle, and Exile in the Battle for Hong Kong and the Future of Global Democracy by Shibani Mahtani and Timothy McLaughlin. I can't recommend it highly enough as a chronicle of the recent state of Hong Kong (as well as of the concessions over the years that led there). Really sad to see how things are going there.

One of the things about this that is most tragic is that Hong Kong used to host vibrant, large Tiananmen commemorations in physical spaces. One of the first things an "expanded definition" of national security has been focused on is social media content related to 6/4 in Hong Kong - a total 180 degree turn. As a result, it now appears that Hong Kong has gone from hosting thousands of people in the open to talk about June 4th to criminalizing social media posts about it. Indeed, a dark turn.
