HKSAR just banned all UK flights to land in HK starting from 1 July, because UK is now listed as a extreme high risk area.

Among the many stupid things about these charges, this is possibly the most ridiculous.
This morning I, a U.S. citizen, woke up to the news that an arrest warrant & a HKD $1 million bounty have been placed on my head by the Hong Kong govt. for exercising my freedoms in my own country.
More to say later but for now: I will never be silenced, I will never back down.
