Tibet’s fate reflects a broader shift in China since 1949, as Beijing has centralized power and dismantled the freedoms once promised by the Republic.

When Stand News shut down in 2021, arrests and raids dominated headlines. Less noticed was what vanished next: years of reporting erased from public access. The loss of its archive reshaped journalism in Hong Kong, thinning the historical record and narrowing space for accountability, an absence that still matters today.
