Library books should not have ‘unhealthy ideas’, says Hong Kong leader

HONG Kong must not “recommend books with unhealthy ideas”, the city’s leader John Lee said today, following the removal of library books related to the deadly Tiananmen Square crackdown and other political issues.

The finance hub has undergone huge legal and political changes since Beijing imposed a national security law on the territory in 2020, silencing dissent following massive, and at times violent, pro-democracy protests the year before.
