💨 Abstract

The U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong condemned the local government for imposed constraints on celebrating U.S. Independence Day, accusing it of repression and interference. Hong Kong's education authorities reportedly advised schools to refrain from participating in these events, citing potential violations of the national security law. The consulate criticized the moves as an attempt to stifle freedom. The education bureau has not commented, and the law has driven many residents to leave.
