All lies flying around… Anyone who spoke any voices against are all caught and sent to prison. Freedom of speaking up and enjoy locked up in prison, is this kind of freedom he is referring to??? Ridiculous
@SariArhoHavren That’s ridiculous… All those politicians or artists who are speaking up are all caught and sent to prison… having said that we are all fighting for a home to live as the Chinese keep buying and raising the price of flats… Living in Hong Kong gets so hard nowadays.
