Two books by the activist Joshua Wong and one title by lawmaker Tanya Chan were among those listed as “under review” on the city’s online library catalog on Sunday. In a statement, a government spokeswoman confirmed that some books had been removed from circulation pending a review for compliance.
ghuzmi It could happen in Japan as well in the future.
NationalSecurityLaw is an extension of CCP brutal censorship culture that has damaged Chinese society for far too long. HongKong fall is a global threat from CCP rogue elements.
You should mention the books by Dr Horace Chin, the Godfather of Localism, are also removed by the government. Please be attended to Dr Chin as he advocates HongKong is a de-facto sovereign city-state, it is the foundation of the emergence of localism in HK.
Yeah, it’s very reflective of how Hollywood censors anything considered ‘male’ out of their films, TV, and books
This is happening in the US as well.
Wow, Chinese antifa
Carcharoth6 Cultural revolution 2.0
Hong Kong now is in the era of Cultural Revolution
Is our President unable and unwilling to do anything?
The extraterritorial nature of this legislation poses an assault on language and freedom of speech that is global in nature. To ignore it risks entrenching those absences worldwide.
brainwash students by stopping them from reading books opposing government.
No freedom
Yeah, just like how the Nazi regime started to censor a lot of information to keep their citizens ignorant and compliant.
This is what the democrats aspire to. Removing those 'problematic' books.
Well. Makes me think of my history lessons on Nazi Germany. StandWithHongKong
They burn the books, then they will bury the educated This ”焚書坑儒“ has happened before during the Qin Dynasty and CulturalRevolution
This is a removal of free flow of knowledge, and attempts to reshape history of 🇭🇰. Hongkongers will not forget and the world know the truth forever.
Freedom of publication will soon be eroded. Hong Kong was one of the freeist City in the world, but the free Hong Kong has been dead after implement of HongKongSecurityLaw. HongKongNeedsHelp
They are trying to rewrite the Hong Kong history
shiroihamusan What’s CCP is doing to “bring stability to HK” can be best described by Tacitus’s quote of a Scottish chieftain: “They make it a wasteland and they call it peace.” Very sad
Removing books is just the first step. The NationalSecurityLaw aims at blunting critical voices. The HK Gov can use 'National security' as the excuse to ban media, assembly, organizations, etc.
momimomibl Hongkong is no longer have freedom of speech. Please sanction the officals.
HongKong is totally off. The CCP destroyed the SINO-BRITISH JOINT DECLARATION already. OneCountryTwoSystemIsDead. HongKongers will be no more freedom and democracy and HongKong must become the NewWestBerlin after the NationalSecurityLaw. StandWithHongKong HKPoliceState
Not surprised by hongkong puppet govt action! china has already turned HongKong into another repressive city in its realm! Literature censorship & prison are the most Chinese characteristic sentence, in which FreedomOfExpression is a joke in china! standwithhongkong HKSOS
shiroihamusan This is already happening and no more freedom in HKPoliceState. Any freedom fighters will face the risk of hostage / jail from CCPChina in Hong Kong. China_is_terrorist
Can u imagine that the banning books criticising the gov will happen in an international financial hub? That’s the biggest joke I hv ever heard, can HongKong stop blasting? I sincerely hope that global leaders can sanction HK AND China ASAP, stop China taking over the world.
Where are the liberals? Wait, forget them because it's not orange man.
Time ⏰ to move to Taiwan 🇹🇼 ! U.S. should keep Peace with PRC yet also bring Taiwan closer better relationship with little Democratic island. HongKong 🇭🇰 2 Taiwan 🇹🇼
I am sure the publication or even purchase of books related to Hong Kong politics / democracy will be banned soon
It will let the citizens in Hongkong think that Hk become a place that decide everything by the Hkgovernment
Just as Cultural Revolution in China at the past, first killed books, next killed writers, then killed readers! HKSOS SOSHK HongKongNeedsHelp
CCPChina is starting Cultural Revolution 2.0. Self censorship and false accusations are prevalent. HK is completely devasted. CCP_is_terrorist Xitler Chinazi
Only by rewriting history and barring people from knowing the truth, CCP can brainwash the people to the extreme nationalists and maintain the evil regime
Interesting.. Singapore, S Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam n Indonesia remove certain titles from their libraries too... for decades. No outrage from the world media then... Why it's a problem now. Is it because of the directives from 5 eyes?
You can’t ban an idea. HongKongers have had enough of CCP. Hongkong belongs to HongKongers.
No freedom in HongKong even freedom of speech. The free world needs to stop CCP's human rights abuses.
Take away your thinking abilities! HongKong
danielee2020 Fuck china. HongKong HongKongProtests StandwithHongKong china PoliceBrutality
No freedom of speech but HongKongers still need to find the way out for resisting. Don’t give up, Internet is a good friend.... StandWithHongKong CCPChina NationalSecueityLaw
Hongkongers finally can travel to China without money and time.
This is China-style freedom of speech :) StandWithHongKong
It’s interesting to see Hong Kong happening such things, I wonder if China conducts some sorts of laws or regulations to resume the slavery ,would they follow that as well ?
Wow....... world need to begging to boycottchinaproducts
In the US the woke mob takes care of this.
Same shit has happened in America but now we’re worried about it?
Bradbury knee what he was talking about
Trump is favoring the totalitarian dictatorship of Xi. Censoring library books. Has Trump recently fought thru the US court the publishing & distribution of 2 books?
Next step: everyone MUST wear red in public

Two books by activist Joshua Wong & one by lawmaker Tanya Chan were among those “under review” on the city’s online library catalog. Govt spokeswoman confirmed some books had been removed from circulation pending a review for compliance with new security law.
This isn’t a surprise no?
Don't let this happen here. All your rights all the time 💛 VoteGold jojorgensen2020 teamjojo jonotjoe letherspeak letherdebate
So much the the 99 year deal with GB.
Its amazing that a govt will hide books ..censorship.. they are so afraid of their people and ideas. Good ideas are worth millions.Stop being afraid of your people.
“Concern” shows naivety. It will happen. It already happened.
Like the current US 🇺🇸 media then...both communists propagandists.
Why do weakminded people want to control other people? All we want to do is live our lives with as little trouble as possible. I hurt for hong kong. Promises were lies and now their lives will be horrible. There's a simple solution to get rid of lutin, chi(?), truml, maduro, 1/
Concerns authorities will censor...are you joking this is the Chinese Communist Party we're talking about....
Sounds like some of our own states and removal of certain books.
You're worried about Hong Kong? Looks like the book burning parties are starting again US style..
“Mein Kampf” is not available in Europe. Censorship? Or common sense?
Same tactics being used here in the USA by the left post modern Marxist
justice4hk
The freedom of publication no longer exist in Hong Kong. Please help us to resist the infringement of CCP. StandWithHongKong SOSHK
Silence critics Quash political dissident These are what “National Security Law” takes aim at.
And probably, sooner or later, owning those books will become illegal too. Then all anyone has to do is plant books or flags with 'illegal' slogans to get people arrested. CCP plays dirty.
Here comes CCP’s censorship.
CCP brainwashing HongKong by banning ideS from free minds.
Yes, Hongkongers have lost our freedom of speech and expression! Our next generation will be deprived of the truth! Poor Hong Kong being totally destroyed!
We're up next.
ReTweet. Stay 6 feet away from any unconscious idiot who takes a live virus covid vaccine. 'First the jewish stars on their lapels, then came the extermination camps. 1940s. 2020s. First the masks, then the extermination vaccines. In 2020, the demons fail.' W. Andrzej Ziarno
China is removing all of Hong Kong’s freedom and oppressing it’s people
Mask theater.
How is that different than the book banning in US schools and libraries?
Not cool
Brain washing tactic number 1: remove all books and authors against CCP.
China must be checked critically, she crossing the red line.
GOOD! As they should since those two bitches worked under the CIA.
😡😡😡😡
