THE WAY WE LIVE NOW: Hong Kong police squash dissent in display of China’s muscle

You can’t use Telegram in mainland China, but the messaging app allows Hong Kong users to mask their phone numbers so police can’t find them.

China reclaimed Hong Kong from Great Britain as a “special administrative region” and gradually tightened its grip.

The uniformed enforcers have a secret weapon: Hong Kong’s famously efficient COVID-19 stay-at-home orders.

Protesters and journalists lining the pavement get a hail of pepper balls from more than 40 officers at once.
