Chapter 2 draws on the author Joanna Chiu’s experience reporting on Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement and its struggles to counteract both the shadowy forms of influence by the CCP’s “United Front” agents and the blunt-force use of laws and policing to quash dissent. Key topics include Hong Kong, democracy, civil disobedience, the Opium Wars, British Hong Kong, the Umbrella Movement protests, Covid-19, and more.
