Fifteen times Hong Kong made international headlines in 2024 Hong Kong made the news on several occasions in 2024 whether for passing new security legislation, censorship laws, or the mystery surrounding the deaths of several monkeys at a city-centre zoo.

Hong Kong protest drama "May You Stay Forever Young" has been uploaded to Youtube and is available to view for free -- and, for now, without a VPN in Hong Kong.

Trigger warning for those who were in Hong Kong in 2019. But also here's passing on the message that: "Even if in vain, we will sustain."

Court session for the verdict for Lam Cheuk-ting & 6 other defendants will be beginning in roughly half an hour. The 7 defendants are charged with "rioting" by defending themselves during the 721 Yuen Long station incident.

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.

I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.
