Post launches anthology of reporting on year of Hong Kong protests

 It’s been almost a full year since the anti-government protests broke out over the now-withdrawn extradition bill, and the South China Morning Post has just launched Rebel City: Hong Kong's Year of Water and Fire, a book chronicling and analysing the social unrest. The 512-page anthology is a non-partisan account of the events of 2019 and a fact-based attempt to explain the nuances and complexities of the protest movement and its impact. Do check it out. Meanwhile, the return of the social unrest this year has been galvanised by Beijing’s plan for a tailor-made national security law for the city. While the government has made repeated assurances that it will have no impact on existing rights and freedoms, and only a small, violent minority will be targeted, many remain worried about the implications. Stay with SCMP as we bring you the latest to help you understand what is happening to our city.
