Skamstøtten i Hongkong af Jens Galschiøt

Pillar of Shame in Hongkong  

October 2021, China plans to remove the Pillar of Shame from the university of Hong Kong, which has led to an international scandal.

The pillar of shame is the only monument in China that commemorates the thousands who died at the Tiananmen Square massacre. China is trying to erase it from their history, and has therefore decided to remove the shame pillar, which is a thorn in the side of the Chinese government.
