Forget the elephant in the room, it is the the anaconda on the ceiling you need to worry about. Brilliant essay on China’s successful taming of Hong Kong. https://t.co/zyEK1z8u7v

“Even going alone to Victoria Park could end in an arrest for unlawful assembly.” I genuinely don’t know how authorities here keep a straight face sometimes. An underrated skill, to be sure. https://t.co/WzUs8pkZgV
