The pro-democracy Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union (HKPTU) – the city’s largest single-industry union with more than 95,000 members – passed a special resolution in September 2021 to dissolve after Chinese state-run People’s Daily and news wire Xinhua denounced it as a “poisonous tumour” that must be “eradicated” and the city’s education authorities severed ties with it.

Now the dissolution is set to complete, the union announced. Remaining funds will be distributed to its members.
