Yes, there were. They were very public flags. One was when Beijing began its violation of the 50-year Sino-British agreement between the United Kingdom and the People's Republic of China governing Hong Kong.
You will recall that around the time of 2018 and 2019, Beijing started to violate that treaty and cracked down on the civil and human rights of Hong Kongers. It began with an attempt to impose an extradition treaty on Hong Kong that would have allowed the PRC to extradite anybody from Hong Kong for much broader reasons, which would have undermined the rule of law. It subsequently led to the introduction of a draconian new national security law, the results of which we've seen in recent years.
When those actions were taken by the PRC, out of an abundance of caution I decided to cut off communications with my family in Hong Kong. As a result, I don't know what's happened to them.
