Topic: Carrie Lam
Carrie Lam’s tenure as Hong Kong leader has been marked by significant crackdowns on free speech and press freedom.

The government’s increasing surveillance measures and control over the internet highlight a troubling trend towards censorship and the erosion of individual liberties in Hong Kong.
