In June 2020, China bypassed Hong Kong&#8217;s legislative process to impose a National Security Law which claims to criminalise any act of subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces while critics say it is another tool for authority to suppress dissent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powerless to bring changes to the city, many Hongkongers have started to think about leaving the city \u2013 a phenomenon once happened in the nineties before China took control of Hong Kong from the British.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longing for a relatively free society has come to a reality for some after the launch of the British National Oversea (BNO) visa in 2021.

Citing political reasons, the founder of Arm Channel TV, a Hong Kong-based YouTube channel which has 300,000 subscribers, announced to emigrate and start another channel to tell Hongkongers\u2019 stories in the UK <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rfa.org\/cantonese\/features\/hottopic\/feature-armchannel-10042021070759.html\">last August<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wouldn&#8217;t have thought of using my channel to talk about immigration,\u201d says Moon Ma.

Some experiences, he says, make him feel like he is a second-class citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cultural shock is a shared difficulty among many Hong Kong immigrants, but living in the UK guarantees them chances to speak out and raise awareness of their home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rallies are seen every month in the UK to raise awareness of the Chinese grip on Hongkongers&#8217; freedom. 12 June, for example, marks the start of the 2019 protest and police brutality against protesters, and Moon Ma attended a rally that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think protest is already impossible in Hong Kong because of the imposition of National Security Law. If you continue to chant or protest, authorities can use the law to arrest or prosecute you,\u201d says Moon Ma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For decades, Hong Kong had been the only place in China to hold an annual candlelight vigil to commemorate the hundreds of deaths in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/06\/04\/1103072441\/police-hong-kong-park-tiananmen-vigil-ban?t=1657101147224\">Tiananmen Square Massacre<\/a>. In 2020, Hong Kong authorities for the first time banned the vigil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, the vigil organisation disbanded after many of its members were arrested for violating the National Security Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2003, Hongkongers had held a rally every 1 July, the anniversary of Britain handing control of Hong Kong to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, thousands of Hongkongers <a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongfp.com\/2022\/07\/02\/timeline-hong-kongs-july-1-carnival-of-dissent-how-17-years-of-protest-demands-fell-silent\/\">defied a police ban<\/a> and gathered to protest.
