You could say this about 1/3 if the world. Most are glad to be rid of UK colonialism.

The UK had no business controlling Hong Kong. I don't think China does either.

I assumed you were from HK.

I also assume that most people want to be governed by themselves.

Hong Kong is a wealth region.

You guys can take care of yourselves; given the opportunity.

I'm sure you agree.

"Fresh arrests"?

Is that better, or worse; than regular ol' arrests? How does this term invoke an emotional response? Does it affect the way that you interpret these arrests?

How about "fresh detentions"?

Yes it shows they are new

That's funny. I was asking in terms of a phycological response from the reader.

I'm wondering if there's a secondary reason for using that adjective.

I think it's just to re-focus, show new things are happening and it's not a stale situation, which is exciting to the reader interested in how the situation is evolving over time
