Hong Kong freedom lovers deserve global support against Chinese Communist Party's new Red Terror

Hong Kong advocates for democracy are being targeted and arrested as China seeks to stamp out dissent.

The dramatic arrest of Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai and the invasive raid of Apple Daily, the pro-democracy newspaper he founded, this week signals the start of a new Red Terror for the formerly free city. When China imposed a new national security law for Hong Kong on June 30, activists knew they may soon be living under the same repressive laws that keep the rest of China in line. Now the worst fears of freedom lovers in Hong Kong are confirmed as authorities ramp up arrests of high-profile pro-democracy leaders.
For Lai and Apple Daily, enforcement of the national security law means the death of freedom of the press. He was arrested on suspicion of “colluding” with foreign forces, an offense that was created by the new law. But none of this came as a surprise to the publisher. In a New York Times op-ed published in late May, Lai wrote, “I have feared that one day the Chinese Communist Party would grow tired not only of Hong Kong’s free press but also of its free people. That day has come.”
