Gedenken an Tiananmen-Massaker: Dem Schweigen besser zuhören
Ein Viertel wie eine riesige Sardinenbüchse, im Herzen Honkongs: Bis 1993 ist die Kowloon Walled City zeitweise der am dichtesten besiedelten Orte der Welt. Und ein Gebiet, dass zugleich von China und Großbritannien beansprucht wird. Hier entsteht ein rechtsfreier Raum mit Opiumhöhlen, Bordellen, Spielhallen - und jeder Menge Zahnärzten.

Voice of America content is produced by the Voice of America,
a United States federal government-sponsored entity, and is in
the public domain.
YouTube says it will block access in Hong Kong to videos of
performances of a banned protest song.
Hong Kong's Court of Appeal ruled last week that "Glory to Hong Kong,"
which emerged as an anthem for protesters during the massive
anti-government protests in 2019, is illegal to sing or play in the
city. The ruling said the song's composer intended for the song to be
used as a "weapon."
There was no immediate comment from the government in Hong Kong.
The ban covers anyone who either broadcasts or distributes the song
with the intention of promoting Hong Kong's independence or
misrepresents it as the city's official anthem. Hong Kong is a
semi-autonomous city.
YouTube said in a statement Wednesday that it will block access in the
Chinese city to 32 videos of the song, which the court deemed was
"prohibited content."
"We are disappointed by the Court's decision but are complying with its
removal order," the online video sharing service said. The company said
it shared concerns with human rights organizations about the chilling
effect the ban would have on free speech online, and that it is
considering options to file an appeal.
A search for the 32 videos in Hong Kong resulted in a message saying
they were "not available on this country domain due to a court order."
The song has mistakenly been played at sporting events as the official
anthem of Hong Kong. The city does not have its own anthem, instead
using mainland China's official anthem "March of the Volunteers."
The appeal court's ruling overturned a previous decision issued last
year by the High Court, which cited free speech concerns. The
government went to court last year to have the song banned after Google
and other internet service providers refused to remove it from their
search results.
YouTube and Google are owned by California-based Alphabet.
The ban is the latest action taken by the government to silence
dissenting voices since Beijing passed a sweeping security law for Hong
Kong in 2020 in response to the protests. The law punishes anyone
believed to be carrying out terrorism, separatism, subversion of state
power or collusion with foreign forces.
Since the law took effect, hundreds of pro-democracy advocates have
been arrested, tried and jailed, and the city's once-vibrant civil
society has been stifled.
George Chen, the co-chair of digital practice at the Washington-based
business and policy consultancy Asia Group, said the ban could hurt
Hong Kong's reputation as a global financial hub if officials pressure
online platforms on a daily basis to remove content, as it could raise
questions about its willingness to allow the free flow of information.
