Hong Kong police have raided a pro-democracy newspaper.

200 police carried out a search warrant and 200 entered the Apple Daily headquarters. Police arrested the chief executive, the editor and three other senior executives.

Police made the arrests on suspicion of collusion with a “foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security”.

As I take leave of this sacred office, I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people – and people around the world – look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation.

May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.

Joe Biden 1-20-25.”
