    China Uncensored on YouTube does a lot of HK content as well in a satirical news magazine style.
    China Uncensored has also done a lot of exaggeration on Hong Kong matters.

    China Uncensored is largely pro-Trump trash indeed. HKFP is amazing though, and we should enjoy it while it lasts.

    Self Censorship is now an essential tool for press and punters. Write / talk about very win things, off to prison you go. Like Singapore but more pathetic.

    Singapore is bad but way less stringent than HK, and has more visible red lines than the ever worsening spiral here.

    Any examples of significant exaggerations?
