HONG KONG -- The operators of the world's only museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen crackdown have begun a global crowdfunding drive to take their collection online, prodded by the looming national security law Beijing plans to impose in Hong Kong.
"We have to preserve it, because we have an uncertain future," said Lee Cheuk-yan, chair of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and a former legislator, at a news briefing on Saturday. "We don't know what will happen to this museum after the national security law is promulgated. This is also risk control, so what we have now could be preserved."
