Hong Kong cancels events and visits amid tensions with China and the West

Hong Kong authorities are taking steps to limit activities that could upset China, while also pulling back from international engagements. This includes cracking down on commemorations of a sensitive historical event and having a top official cancel a planned trip to the United States.

Separately, a popular singer from Hong Kong, Raymond Lam, called off concerts in Japan, which appears connected to broader political friction between China and other countries.
