BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Five members of a Hong Kong's book publisher, Mighty Current, disappeared in the last two months. The latest one is Lee Bo who disappeared on December 30 when he went to his company's warehouse to pick up some books.
It is suspected that they have been abducted into China to stop the publisher from publishing a book about the current President of China to be titled, “The Lovers of Xi Jinping”.
Hong Kong has been guaranteed freedom of speech from that of Mainland China under the agreement of "One Country Two Systems"
China's government media Global Times has published three editorials claiming that "Two Systems" is not above "One Country" in trying to justify China's action.
A Youtube video has gone viral in bringing attention to the case:
