Most US outlets are not reporting on this part of the story of the siege of CUHK university.<p>If the police seize control of the university, they can monitor / filter all traffic. The whole city can go dark.
I wouldn't be surprised if the domestic HK security services haven't already sunk their claws deep into this organization... Pretty much every pipe is being tapped in western countries and I'm sure in Asia too.<p>Of course explicitly controlling it and manipulating it is a bit different.<p>This is probably a better article than the Wikipedia:<p><a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1269773/hong-kongs-internet-exchange-offers-snoopers-rich-pickings" rel="nofollow">https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1269773/hong-kon...</a>
