The Chinese government is making a high-stakes bid to force Hong Kong –long an outpost of freedom – into abject political and civic submission while sustaining the territory’s status as a global hub for finance and a gateway to the mainland’s vast markets.
But key features of Hong Kong’s cosmopolitanism – its free press, provisions for access to government data, and international media presence – are facing dire pressure and constraints, interrupting the flow of news and information that commerce and culture depend on. ....
