Blank Walls on Hong Kong Campuses
Hong Kong’s top-ranked university has boarded up its famous “Democracy Wall,” once a space for free student expression. The move marks the true end of an era.

Established in 2007, the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (CEDB) is a policy bureau of the Hong Kong Government. It manages sectors including external trade, inward investment, intellectual property, and tourism. Led by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, the CEDB oversees departments such as Invest Hong Kong and the Trade and Industry Department. The bureau holds administrative authority over the telecommunications sector and the public broadcaster, Radio Television Hong Kong. Recently, the bureau implemented regulatory changes, including mandatory SIM card registration, while focusing on managing Hong Kong’s commercial relations and the development of creative industries across the territory.
