This week on Conflict Zone, we talk for a second time to Regina Ip, long-time lawmaker in Hong Kong’s Legislative Council, and head of the pro-Beijing New People’s Party.
“Hong Kong is being re-unified with China under the kind of repressive rule that tolerates no dissent. You happy with that,|” Tim Sebastian asks Regina Ip
“There is no rollback of freedoms. Our freedoms are well protected under the Basic Law,” she replied.
The biggest symbol of resistance in Hong Kong, the June 4th vigils recalling the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, have now effectively been shut down. Last year Beijing had enough, HK police closed organizers, froze their assets and arrested their leaders.
Since Beijing imposed a national security law on the territory, electoral reforms have excluded most opposition candidates from elections to the Hong Kong’s Legislative Council and pro-democracy publications have been shuttered.
