Hang Seng Index plummets after Beijing made bold moves
Following Beijing's unilateral introduction of the anti-subversion in Hong Kong, Hang Seng Index plummets by 5.5%, the largest daily fall over 5 years. Sino Land (0083) and Link REIT (0832) dropped more than 10%.
Beijing loyalist Liao Cheung-kong, a non-official member appointed to the Executive Council, said "National security is more important than the stock market."
Liao is also Steward of Hong Kong Jockey Club and Hong Kong Deputy to the PRC's National People's Congress.

UK urged to ban fur imports from China over animal abuse claims
Campaigners are urging the UK government to ban fur imports after an investigation done by from Humane Society International (HSI) appeared to show widespread animal abuse and disregard for Covid-19 health protocols at more than a dozen fur farms in China.
“Our investigators witnessed an almost total lack of disease control and health protection measures on fur farms, which is extremely worrying considering that mink, raccoon dogs and foxes are all capable of contracting coronaviruses,” said HSI executive director Claire Bass.
Both HSI and British animal welfare charity the RSPCA want the UK to ban imports, after the country halted fur farming on cruelty grounds two decades ago. The UK imported more than ÂŁ55m worth of fur in 2019, including ÂŁ5.3m from China, according to HM Revenue and Customs data.
