HONG KONG – Hong Kong’s security chief Chris Tang criticised an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on a seizure by the authorities of a statue commemorating Beijing’s Tiananmen Square crackdown on democracy protesters in 1989.
Reuters was not able to independently verify the letter and both the WSJ and Hong Kong government did not immediately respond to requests for comment.of the Pillar Of Shame statue was quietly executed and done without due process. “That the opinion piece presented the exhibit of the criminal investigation as an ‘artwork’ and the case as one concerning mere ‘dissent’ is totally misleading,” the RTHK cited Mr Tang as writing.
