"Renowned economist Stephen Roach's thought-provoking @FT article reveals Hong Kong's disappointing stock market performance since the handover. Roach points to the impact of local politics, including Carrie Lam's initiation of the extradition bill and the subsequent national security law imposed by China. These developments have further eroded Hong Kong's autonomy and contributed to its worsening situation. Without significant measures, the city risks being trapped in a prolonged downturn. #HongKong #StockMarket #China #Autonomy #ExtraditionBill #NationalSecurityLaw"

On this day in 2019, during the anti-extradition protests in Hong Kong, police fired rubber bullets and bean bag rounds at demonstrators, marking the first time such force was used. The government labeled the protests as a "riot." The clashes erupted as the Legislative Council was set to debate the controversial extradition bill. The violence resulted in injuries, including a teacher losing 97.5% vision in one eye. Several individuals were subsequently charged and received prison sentences for their involvement. #AntiExtraditionProtests #HongKong #ExtraditionBill #PoliceViolence #Injustice
