3. That’s another case that #Hongkong judges biasedly praise pro-#Beijing assailants. Earlier in April, HK judge hailed another assailant for having "noble sentiments” after he slashed three #HKers with beef knife, causing one's lung collapsed and wounds on their necks and backs.

3. Just another controversial incident after Daryl Morey’s tweet supporting #Hongkongprotests last year, the #Freehongkong uproar is sounding alarm bells about NBA’s dedication to stand up against #Beijing’s political pressure and uphold the liberal values that we all embrace.

5/ Also when #Beijing faces more international critics after its crackdown on the city’s election, it is paving ways to arrest somebody like me, extradites to China, and takes me hostage for more diplomatic bargaining powers.

#Zhengzhou city in #CCPChina is under #lockdown (again). In order to prevent people from leaving the city, the highway to #Beijing is blocked like this.
For the latest situation regarding the #CCP’s #ZeroCovid policy, watch this: youtu.be/2qb2Fup3tMg

In usual years, about 300 bodies are burned daily in #Beijing. Now all crematoriums in are operating 24 hours. They can handle 4K bodies/day. But still, many people have to wait for 7 days to get an appointment.
Many people are puzzled why the death toll is so high. #COVID19 twitter.com/jenniferzeng97…

Looking out of the window. Really enjoy the beauty & safety of #Beijing.

2. Before that, #Beijing has already been toughening its curb on media, from setting up a new #nationalsecurity unit in Immigration Dept to screen foreign correspondents' visa application, replacing news heads of credible TV providers, to interrupting local media's news coverage.

#LegCoCoup under way in #HongKong:
#Beijing loyalist Chan Kin-por, who was appointed to chair the House Committee election circumventing house rules, takes his seat in LegCo, with a line of security guards in front of him blocking any dissent.

5. With such systematic oppressions of HK freedom seekers, especially under #nationalsecuritylaw amid #Beijing’s mounting influence, it is foreseeable that more and more people will lose trust in the city’s judicial impartiality which this international financial centre lies on.

Not sure when or where this is.
It is said that No. 21 Cold Storage Warehouse at Yuquanying in #Beijing (北京玉泉营冷库21号) , which has a capacity to store 15K bodies, was requisitioned, & 10.7 K bodies went in on that one day.
Not sure whether this is that or something else.

This happened in Sheung Shui & apparently a group of pro-#Beijing people clashed with anti-Govt protesters #HongKong #HongKongProtests

Talked to @CBNNews about how #HK #Catholic textbooks are now used for #Beijing’s nationalist propaganda under #nationalsecuritylaw, while #China’s office in HK has just waged a new "struggle against the three mountains” - the city's legal, education and social service sectors. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

4. Although the treaty claims excluding #Tibetans & #Uyghurs, it is dubious if this exemption can really hold since #Beijing in the past treated China-born foreign nationals as Chinese, such as Swedish citizen #GuiMinhai that was sentenced to 10yo prison. wsj.com/articles/china…
