News agencies, both foreign and local including @AFP @Reuters @AP @rthk_enews @StandNewsHK were barred from the news press that entails the operation in arresting @JimmyLaiApple. The press was told only those who had obliged to the police before could enter.

BTW, for the people who think stock price is the only thing that matters during times like these:
Fair enough, just afraid something that affects your life will be too sudden and restrictive to be able to react to it... China doesn’t play fair. Ever

Yeah, second this... that Canadian passport you might still have means a bit different to you than to the CCP.
Just remember... there's never win-win solution with the CCP, it only means CCP wins twice. They "tolerate" you there because you have no value, and as soon as you become a person of interest, everything changes.

That was a freebie handed over to China on a silver platter. China did not even have to do anything and they all just quit. Ouch.

I was thinking the same. I don't know the workings of HK LegCo but does missing that many members mean that it now cannot make decisions?
Also the prodem candidates can still sweep the next legco elections though they can still be removed. It still sends a strong statement if they sweep the elections even if they are removed afterwards.

LegCo will still be in operation since there will be enough members to ensure a quorum. Essentially, it will now be a rubber stamp council.
I'm going to guess the NPCSC will enact a new legislation to ban all of these pan den members from reentering the election next year with some BS national security reasoning.
I only answer to my username, my real name is Irrelevant!

Naw these guys weren't allowed to run for reelection anyhow, because China says they can't, not for any other reason
