Tim Hamlett, former associate professor of journalism at the Baptist University of Hong Kong, a public affairs commentator for the Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP), and contributor to most of Hong Kong’s English media outlets, wrote an opinion piece, “Why I am giving up writing about Hong Kong politics,” published on May 12, 2023, in his blog as well as HKFP.
Hamlett attributed this decision to the “dangerous times” in Hong Kong for people who “do not share our government’s high opinion of itself” and to his lack of interest in experiencing the “inside of a Hong Kong police cell.”
