Time is bound to split Hong Kong
For the prosecution expert and professor of Lingnan University’s Department of History, Liu Zhipeng pointed out that the use of the "light time" slogan in the political environment of Hong Kong must mean the separation of Hong Kong from China.
Zhou Tianxing pointed out that defense experts also accept that the slogan can be interpreted in this way.
Refers to incomplete and biased defense research

Someone destroyed the national emblem on the day the slogan appeared
Liu’s report considered that Liang Tianqi, who advocated Hong Kong independence, participated in the 2016 Legislative Council by-election speech.
