Beneath the calm, Hong Kong's new security law drives deeper, quieter changes ========== Life in Hong Kong appears unchanged on the surface after the new national security law took effect. The law, enacted in 2020, drew protests and arrests, but this time there have been no arrests or newsroom raids. However, beneath the calm, the law is driving deeper and quieter changes in the city. Critics argue that the law is eroding Hong Kong's freedoms and autonomy, while supporters believe it is necessary for maintaining stability and national security. The impact of the law is still unfolding, and its long-term effects on Hong Kong's political and social landscape remain uncertain. #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw #Protests #Arrests #Freedom #Autonomy https://apnews.com/article/hong-kong-new-security-law-impact-ca4e181da02e5eed23a8f31dbcc1cef1
