This short program combines news footage, pop music, and sketch comedy to ask: What has become of Hong Kong today? It takes aim at the Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Hong Kong to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the handover. It mocks Hong Kong’s chief executive CY Leung and his claim, ‘I will continue to go to communities with my cabinet, taking with me a stool, a notebook and a pen, to listen to your views’. And when human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo is diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and subsequently granted compassionate release, it asks: Does this mean the regime is magnanimous?
