Lau Man-shing says island-state’s citizens swapped one authoritarian master for another in 1997. FMTNews
Lau Man-shing says current crop of dissidents have no choice after peaceful protests have fallen on deft ears.
At the time Lau was a loyal supporter of China’s Communist Party and a committed anti-colonial activist. “But Beijing is asserting more and more control over Hong Kong and is wielding the greatest force to suppress opposing voices.” Fuelled by resentment of colonial rule and inspired by the Cultural Revolution unfolding in China, the 1967 riots left 51 dead.
Lau said he was never tortured and that conditions were better than the more lurid descriptions given by former inmates who have remained loyal to Beijing.On release, Lau felt abandoned by the Hong Kong leftist groups who distrusted him because he refused to say he was tortured and stopped helping him after he lost his well-paid civil service job.
