Hong Kong booksellers kidnapping?
Just had dinner with friends in Central tonight. One of the women was a cousin of one of the booksellers who has 'disappeared'. Allegedly mainland chinese agents kidnapped 5 of them, who's bookshops sold books here in HK critical of the mainland leadership. The HK Govt is paralysed with fear as to what to do. I can't imagine the local populace is exactly feeling filled with confidence either. I always wondered what the 'watershed' event would be to turn the dark corner with HK, suspect this might be it. Worrying times. Comments? btw, the woman is so scared she is planning on moving to Canada within the year.
