Prohibited from gathering, pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong still want to commemorate the anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre. The Hong-Kong Free Press site has chosen to publish, on this occasion, photos from 1989, from the archives of Human rights in China, an NGO created during the Tiananmen uprising. Entitled "Students will prevail," this series of photos shows, in particular, residents of Beijing reading protest poems, plastered on the walls. The images are accompanied by this reminder: "The Tiananmen massacre occurred on June 4, 1989, ending months of student protests, and hundreds, perhaps more than a thousand people, died , when the military suppressed the protesters in Beijing. "

Hong Kong Free Press also reports on Chinese reactions to Prime Minister's threat to welcome Hong Kong residents with open arms if China persists in imposing national security law - activists say pro-democracy perceive as an attempt to undermine the semi-autonomy of Hong Kong. Beijing immediately responded to Boris Johnson, calling on the UK to "cease all interference" in the affairs of its former colony and in turn threatening retaliation.

As for the Guardian, he wonders why the Prime Minister decided to "stand up" to China. The British daily jokes: "The promise to offer millions of Hong Kong citizens a path to British citizenship is a remarkable offer from a government that has spent four years struggling to enforce Brexit and to end the free movement of people from Europe ”. According to The Guardian, part of the conservative deputies considers that the rise of China under Xi Jinping is a threat to the West, and that as such, it must be fought. The newspaper warns that Boris Johnson "bet big", by deciding to oppose Beijing openly, by proposing to make his country a "safe haven" for the Hong Kongers. A bet, which The Guardian wonders if the Prime Minister has "properly measured the extent".

Criticized also for his management of the Covid-19 epidemic, Boris Johnson is accused by his detractors of having been too light at first, then of being overly cautious - in short, of having sailed on sight. And it is not scientific quarrels, especially over hydroxychloroquine, which will simplify the task, suggests a drawing signed Bob Moran, found on Twitter. "Follow the science", yes. But according to which expert? The British Prime Minister seems somewhat confused.
