[New era for #HK academia under uni head w/ #CCP membership] 1. Despite backslash, #HKU council, mostly appointed by pro-#Beijing #Carrielam, approved 2 #Chinese scholars incl one, #MaxShen,who's listed by #Tsinghua 3 times as "party committee member" scmp.com/news/hong-kong…
[Cherrypicking evidence for #speechcrimes] 1. Hours after #Carrielam’s #freespeech assurance, #HKpolice charges #HK activist #TamTakChi on “uttering seditious words” just because he chanted slogans like “#5DemandsNot1Less”, “revolt” etc. Worse still, Tam's bail bid was banned.
3. In fact, the city’s Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal, Geoffrey Ma, had once rebutted the "no separation of powers" narrative in 2014, but #Carrielam insisted today that local courts have to be responsible to #Beijing.
[Cancelling separation of powers in #HK] 1. #Carrielam claimed today there's no separation of powers in HK after #HKGov’s recent textbook censorship. Even the next Chief Justice that she appointed, Andrew Cheung, said in 2008 that separation of powers is enshrined in Basic Law.
[City-wide testing by three #China-based laboratories, with one allegedly involved in DNA collections of #Uyghurs] 1/ #Hkgov has just announced a city-wide #Covid19 testing. Without proper tendering procedures, #Carrielam directly granted 150,000,000 HKD for the project.
In a failed state like #Hongkong, #Carrielam only knows how to suppress, but not govern. What #HKers should do is not merely #FreeHongKong, but also save Hong Kong.
