the essay that police asked to be taken down was “Our Time” by Siu Gaa, which imagines Hong Kong in 2050 after a government crackdown on linguistic and ethnic minorities as well as freedom of religion in the city

It's not about Cantonese. It's they hate this essay for some reason. Whether that's better or worse is up to your judgement.
