Book Bans and National Security: A Chilling Warning from Hong Kong's Top Cop Hong Kong's security chief, Chris Tang Ping keung, has issued a stark warning to booksellers: ensure your titles do not violate national security laws.
The clear implication is that selling a book deemed seditious by the authorities makes you complicit in undermining national security.
Tang's comments come on the heels of police raids on two independent bookstores and the arrest of five people on suspicion of sedition.
