4/ Not to mention that expats will also suffer, especially when #China is carrying out #WolfWarrior diplomacy worldwide. 2 Canadians became victims of hostage diplomacy as retaliation against the arrest of #Huawei's Meng. Foreign reporters were denied entry for political reasons.
127
#HKPolice fired rubber bullets at protesters defying #China ’s push. Hundreds have been arrested. @joshuawongcf and I witnessed the first round of tear gas since the COVID19 lockdown. #HKers will never back down and will resist the #NationalSecurityLaw. #StandWithHongKong

.@mingpaocom reports that a mainlander from #China took part in the protests against the #NationalSecurityLaw, saying #HongKong shouldn’t be a place without #FreeSpeech. Paper says he held a placard “God destroy #ccp” 內地人首參加示威:不想香港沒言論自由 news.mingpao.com/ins/%e6%b8%af%…

Today #Hongkongers once again took to the streets to rescue the city’s eroding freedom🗽 Will the #FreeWorld listen to our cries and stand up against #China? #FreeHongKong and impose sanctions against #PRC 🇨🇳 #StandWithHongKong

The @CECCgov chairman is correct here. While @SecPompeo's decision today to declare #HongKong insufficiently autonomous from #China has taken many aback, it does reflect the actual situation, and hence its bipartisan support in DC and embrace by most pro-democracy Hong Kongers. twitter.com/RepMcGovern/st…
131
2/ Today’s decision is a direct assault on the will of #HKers. China is scrapping its promise of autonomy under the Joint Declaration, a legally binding international treaty, & burying 1Country2System when a #secretpolice agency can enforce #China’s laws within territory of HK.
The decision to impose #NationalSecurityLegislation on #HongKong by the #NPC shatters #China's solemn promise in 1997 to respect #HK's autonomy & freedoms. Now is the time for democracies to #StandWithHongKong! #Taiwan will be ready to offer necessary humanitarian assistance. JW
133
2/ In fact, #nationalsecuritylaw will affect all netizens since #China has a long history of regarding critical voices on social media as a threat to its national security. It has imposed the most restrictive cybersecurity rules & clamped down on the flow of information in China.
134
A change of U.S. policy on #HongKong will certainly have an impact on #China, as @WSJ explains: "Hong Kong remains a key financial gateway between mainland China, which maintains strict capital controls, and the wider world." wsj.com/articles/china…

@CGTNOfficial Let's not forget it's been less than a month when black people were denied service, evicted, assaulted in the streets in of Guangzhou, China. #BlackLivesMatter not only in the West, but in 🇨🇳#China as well. twitter.com/WBYeats1865/st…
137
2/ According to the latest poll, 64% of the city’s population opposes #China’s blackbox #nationalsecuritylegislation that completely bypasses local legislative scrutiny. However, Beijing chooses to ignore all critics and turns #HK into another Mainland city.
138
4. The law is just the stepping stone for more interventions from #Beijing. With its ill-defined scope, the law will doubtlessly become the new weapon to crush dissents. With the new #secretpolice agency, Beijing can enforce #China's law in the territory of #HK.
139
6. To safeguard the city's democratic aspirations, civil liberties, and the last hope to remember the atrocity publicly in the future, I call upon the world leaders to take actions to urge #China to withdraw this evil law.
140
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…
141
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.
142
#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…
143
8/ Your personal information can also be sent to #China, since the new body will share information (with ill-defined scopes) with #hkpolice. Without checks and balances, #Beijing requires #hkpolice and courts “cooperate with new China’s office”.
144
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.
145
4. New measure will affect #China’s “naked officials” whose spouses/kids reside abroad. Certainly when #CCP officials indoctrinate toxic nationalism at schools, they should not worry abt visa ban, but shd be 1st ones to set examples by not travelling & staying in Greater Bay Area
146
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.
147
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. Photo: Lam Yik Fei
#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
149
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.
