It is unclear how many books are under review. Two titles by Chinese Nobel Peace Prize-winning political dissident Liu Xiaobo were still available, according to the online search.

Hong Kong was such an amazing place to visit. Sadly, China has ruined it now. Bye bye tourism.

I am really glad National Security laws passed in China HK just like in every other Countries, Inc Australia, USA. Can SMH stop referring to a Canadian citizens as sources, considering J. Wong incited Rioters/Terrorists and sponsored by another.

Burning the books. Always a bad sign.

Time for the Brits to go in.

Fuc% China! Their pushing for world dominance under Xi Jinping, Taiwan is next on the to do list! Xi Jinping can go sit on a air hose as far as I'm concerned!

Next step Chinazi book burning.

Articles which don’t support SMH’s agenda don’t appear on SMH so same same in a sense

A pro-democracy that assault and beaten up and burnt anyone, especially old men and women when they expressed their freedom of speech. What a bunch of fake democratic warmongers puppets and yet these warmongers media keep brainwashing the world :-)

This will be Australia in a few years if we let the commies take over.

Hong Kong medic first to be charged with inciting secession, terrorismA 23-year-old Hong Kong medic has become the first person to be charged under a sweeping national security law that Beijing imposed on the territory earlier this week Of all the things to be first in, I hazard this is not one . Example to be made by CCP I'm afraid for this guy. He was arrested for his flag that wrote: Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times. This slogan had been used for almost a whole year’s movement asking for justice and change, without linkage to independence. Independence was not even one of HKers’ 5 demands. Why don't the ethnic Chinese accept that they are Chinese? It is like Asian Australians not accepting that they are Asians. Or that European Australians are not Europeans!

China isn't just after Hong Kong's protesters. It wants the city's childrenIf similar 'national security education' activities on the mainland are anything to go by, China's Government now has the legal basis to begin patriotic classes for Hong Kong's next generation, writes Bill Birtles. Authoritarians love to brainwash the vulnerable. A bit like our PM seeking to create more evangelists through Hillsong “outreach” in Australian public schools. Grotesque.
