Do you know what happened in Hong Kong on July 26, 2019?
The first ”fly with you” rally took place at the Hong Kong International Airport on 26 July, 2019 in protest of the authorities' plan to allow extradition to China.
Workers from the aviation industry and many civilians distributed posters in the arrival hall and explained to tourists Hongkongers' "five demands" in the anti-ELAB movement. Some participants used their bodies to imitate the Lennon Wall.
Back then, the airport was filled with tourists and businesses went on at the terminal.
Later on, the government obtained an interim injunction from the court, banning enty to the airport except having a boarding pass. Since then, no one can go see their friends and family off at the airport.
On the contrary, the government refused to close the border in face of the coronavirus outbreak. As the pandemic is hitting, the once bustling airport has become a barren island.

Estonia condemns Beijing for implementing National Security Law in Hong Kong,
Eastern Europe sees China and Russia as foremost threats
At a time of increasing tension between China and the United States, many Eastern European countries are gradually changing their attitudes, equating China with Russia as their main threat, openly criticizing Beijing, and even withdrawing cooperation on infrastructure projects.
At the United Nations, Estonia joined other countries in condemning Beijing's push for the National Security Law in Hong Kong, and opposition parties called for a stronger government towards China.
The Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian parliament, Enn Eesmaa, said he joined other lawmakers in condemning China's push for the National Security Law in Hong Kong. Estonia joined more than 20 countries in a similar statement at the UN Human Rights Committee late in June 2020.
The Estonian president visited China in September 2018 to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and others but mentioned the "Chinese threat" three times in the past year. She said it may even be more significant than Russia's and called for vigilance against China's expanding influence.
The leader of the Estonian Reform Party, Kaja Kallas, criticized China's persecution of Uyghurs in Xinjiang as equivalent to the Nazis' treatment of Jews in Germany and called on the government to be tougher to China and to criticize Russia for human rights violations. She also mentioned that the Estonian government did not even dare to publicly and formally thank Taiwan for providing health care supplies to Estonia.
