Hong Kong among the bottom 30% in democracy ranking, having the highest increase in repression of civil
society in 2021
In the "Democracy Report 2022: Autocratization Changing Nature", the V-Dem Institute’s report notes that a new wave of democratization is being seen in 15 countries, while 32 countries suffer a decline in democracy.
The Swedish institute's report highlights that #autocratization has “worsened” in Hong Kong, along with India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Thailand and the Philippines in the Asia-Pacific region in the last decade.
Hong Kong is also among the countries with the highest increases in repression of civil
society. On a 0 to 4 scale, these countries are Afghanistan (–2.6), Hong Kong (–2.2), and Nicaragua (–2.1).
The report points out that governments in all three countries "evidently engage in extensive subjugation of civil society."
On the worldwide level, the report shows that the level of democracy enjoyed by the average global citizen in 2021 is down to 1989 levels. “The last 30 years of democratic advances are now eradicated.”
