[Is NBA sacrificing our free speech and kowtowing to #China again?]
1. Immediately after blocking #FreeHongKong to be printed on its custom gear, #NBA just once again kowtowed to #China by pulling the whole custom gear section from its store.

2. Since the high primary turnout demonstrates #Hongkongers’ determination for democracy and captures the world’s attention, Joshua Wong urged #China to think twice and holds itself from further imperiling the city’s autonomy and democracy with the new sweeping #NSL.

2. When #China attempts to crush dissents with fear and force, nearly 600,000 #Hkers have used our actions today to ward off fear, cast ballots in this first and maybe last #hkprimaries and proved to the world that - Our spirit of resistance will not be killed.

When #China fails to silence #HK's dissents with fear, it appeals to force. Pro-#Beijing thugs disturbed one of our booths this evening when we urged more #HKers to vote. Also, helpers of other democratic parties were reportedly assaulted by Beijing supporters. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

The primary election is our first time to let #Beijing know #HongKongers never bow down to #China. The turnout will serve as a litmus test of broader opposition to the #NationalSecurityLaw. We urge the world to put #HongKong under the global spotlight.

5. But the law is just the first step as Chinese officers like Deng Zhonghua had already announced that #China will introduce more laws in future. As our voices may not be heard soon, we hope the world can continue to speak up for us & reassess the city’s human rights conditions.

[In response to Australia's new policies on #HK]
1. When #China is imposing the new sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw on the city, Australia’s new visa policy serves as a vital safe haven for freedom-loving #HongKongers amid political persecution under China’s new Orwellian law.

Under loosely defined terms, #Hkers were warned of breaching #NationalSecurityLaw for displaying just white papers, without any slogan. Now #hkpolice is suggesting #China's national security will be threatened because of pieces of white papers.

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.

First time in #HK's history: #hongkongers are warned that their flags, banners, slogans or other behaviours during demonstrations or protests may be arrested on charges of "secession" or "subversion of state power" under #NationalSecurityLaw, which was once only found in #China.

#NationalSecurityLegislation adopted by #China's NPC is a serious violation of what Beijing promised #HongKong before handover. It's also a blow to HK's freedom & basic rights. We join the international community in condemning the move & will keep helping #HongKongers in need. JW

4. However, even under the ill wind of #China’s direct authoritarian rule, #Hongkongers will continue to fight for our freedoms and democracy for the city’s next generations. When justice fails, our fight goes on.

4. Not to mention that offenders could be extradited to #China’s courts for trials and subject to forced confessions through tortures, televised confessions, arbitrary detention and secret trials.

6. Under new draconian law, activists will be thrown into an extremely dangerous situation. The same law has been used for crushing #China's activists like rights lawyers #WangQuanzhang. Extracting confessions through torture, black jail & secret trial will be ubiquitous in #HK.

#China has proven itself as an aggressor, a warmonger, and a bully country. #India, as well as #Australia, #Taiwan and #HK - everyone who had been bullied by China should stand firm and stay united against #CCP aggression. twitter.com/TimesNow/statu…

Breaking: A @demosisto's campaigner was just arrested when he set up booths with high schoolers & teenagers to call for the withdrawal of #NationalSecurityLaw. Clearly, the law is killing all voices of dissidence and putting our next generations under #China’s full control.

Friends from liberal democracies of the world, thank you for #standingwithhk. Please remember this: by helping #HK, you are also helping yourselves to bring #China back to embracing a rules-based world order which #CCP has promised to do upon China’s accession to #WTO! twitter.com/ipacglobal/sta…
