    I have a hard time imagining how an Internet shut down could be implemented in Hong Kong, but even the suggestion of the Chief Executive acquiring such powers is a devastating idea.https://twitter.com/charlesmok/status/1166316470453727232 …

    "Internet shutdown" will truly be the darkest day for Hong Kong: Emergency Regulations Ordinance grants the Chief Executive sweeping powers to bypass the legislature and control everything inc telecommunications and may shutdown the Internet. Hong Kong will die! pic.twitter.com/hmmLNuHX49

        Oh they know how to do it. I was blacked out/blocked once during Golden Week. No American websites or vpn's worked.

        This is truly horrifying and would be economic suicide.

        “Hong Kong will die!” Please tell me that’s just a quirk of non-native English-speaking and not actual violent malice for a city of several million people.

        He means that it will destroy the things that make Hong Kong the city it is right now.

        I doubt it. They've employed this tactic before, if anything probably India taking cues from China.

        Beijing has employed communications blackouts before esp. in Xinjiang, cutting off both internet and phone services to an entire region. I don't doubt they could if they wanted to, and it would be economically devastating.
