Hong Kong on Thursday (July 1) marks 24 years since its return to Chinese sovereignty in a politically fraught atmosphere, with traditional anti-government protests on the anniversary banned by police citing pandemic restrictions and authorities warning people against taking part in illegal gatherings or violating the city’s national security law .
The city on Thursday also celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, and police will deploy some 10,000 officers across Hong Kong , with contingency plans in place to lock down Victoria Park – the gathering point for annual protests – if necessary.
