[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.
[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.
[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.
[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…
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.
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.
