When stickers citing Bibles were accused of breaching #NationalSecurityLaw, Deputy director of #China's office on #Hongkong HKMAO just said the new law is not one-off. #Beijing will introduce more China's laws to #HK in the future.

#China’s attempt to block #Taiwan’s int’l participation will only reinforce our determination to play an active & positive role in the world. At this testing time, it’s heartening to see former #US @DeptofDefense #SecDef Ash Carter reaffirm our shared democratic values.

3. Using its sweeping powers under #NationalSecurityLaw, #China now extends its reach to #HK media by clamping down on critical voices on media, halting flow of information to international audiences and turning the city's media outlets into state-controlled propaganda apparatus.

Thank you, @weimers. While #China is still cuddling up to #Russia, #Taiwan is working with the #EU to promote peace, #DefendDemocracy & #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦. The war atrocities teach an important lesson: Forces for good must unite to deter & defeat authoritarianism. JW twitter.com/weimers/status…

Branch of Scarlet Finch (血雀,Carpodacus sipahi) is drinking water, in Yunnan province.
The brilliantly red male is fittingly named and unmistakable. The female is duller.

While ppl worldwide living under growing authoritarian influence, I just wrote my first @LetterWiki letter to @DJtotheS w/ thoughts on how HKers respond w/ hope through persistent resistance while #China rules the city with fear under #nationalsecuritylaw

3. Also it’s doubtful whether the so-called “change through trade” policy really works. After decades of economic cooperation, #China's human rights situation just worsens, w/ universal values becoming taboos & hundreds of rights lawyers arrested. What are we really changing to?

2. It is the first time that sacred texts are largely replaced by Chinese nationalistic education in religious textbooks. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, now even the controversial sinicized Christianity in #China started to expand to #HK with HK diocese kowtowing to #Beijing.
