Protest of any kind is forbidden during the visit of China’s top Hong Kong official Xia Baolong, according to police, with cops actively polling known activists (including yours truly) to find out if they have any such plans. Here’s how I found out: this afternoon, out of the blue, I had a call from Kowloon West Regional Police Headquarters asking if I had any plans for any protests, marches or processions from 22 to 28 February, the dates of an “inspection visit” by the Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the China Communist Party (CCP).
Thanks for the heads-up. Really sad that Hong Kong, like china, is now a Potemkin village.
