Hong Kong has implemented a new National Security Law, leading to the arrest of at least 180 people, including seven under the new regulations. The law aims to curb subversive activities, secession, terrorism, and foreign interference, shifting Hong Kong from a rule of law to a state of fear. The police presence was significant during the 23rd anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China, a day marked by division. Pro-Beijing supporters celebrate the end of British colonization, while democracy advocates protest against Beijing. This year, protests were banned for the first time in 17 years due to COVID-19 measures.
