[#China new game crackdown on #CallofDuty]
1. After #CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar released its teaser, original teaser was swiftly under heavy criticism by Chinese trolls and banned in #China for having a one-second documentary shot of #TiananmenSquareMassacre (1:05) in the teaser.

[Secret deal: China's security cops can investigate in #Switzerland]
1. @NZZaS: #China & #Swiss signed a secret deal in 2015 allowing #Beijing's security officers to investigate Chinese nationals WITHIN #Switzerland for 2 weeks, even w/o official status.

2. Five years after the secret deal was signed, no Swiss MP had ever heard of the deal. In contrast to similar agreements between #Switzerland and other countries, the one with #China is harsher as #Chinese cops can come and investigate without prior discussion with Swiss govt.

5. Not to mention that dissidents in exile, #Hongkongers or even #Taiwanese overseas might be covered by the secret deal & extradited to #China’s courts. In fact, #hkpolice has already used the new law to arrest dissidents in exile and also a US citizen.

4. Clearly assailant has been targeting consulate for a long time. Under #China’s #wolfwarrior diplomacy, #nationalsecuritylaw & #HKgov's recent move to indoctrinate more nationalism in schools, it's worrying the attack will have longlasting consequences to the city from now on.

3. With the flow of information further blocked, #China is now effectively decoupling this international financial hub, as well as the major global media centre in the region, by weaponizing its visa system to stifle critical voices.

4. With a more stringent #nationalsecuritylaw in #China, as well as other draconian criminal laws #HK doesn’t have, it is worrying that they could be sent to #China’s secret courts & black prisons, with restricted access to lawyers & high risk of forced confession under torture.

6. Since their situation is extremely critical, given #China's highly controversial criminal justice system in black box, we hope the world can keep watch on the development and especially hope that they can be back safe.

6. Unreliable laboratory: The laboratory responsible for HK universal testing, Sunrise, is owned by #China’s company BGI. BGI was found by Swedish govt that thousands of its test kits generate false positive results.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/0…

[Dictators disguised as multilateralist]
1. While #Wangyi claims #China promotes multilateralism & peace, Wang just intimidated the democratic gov of #czechrepublic & warned its senate speaker @Vystrcil_Milos will pay a heavy price for his #Taiwan visit

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?
220
2. Under #China's #wolfwarrior diplomacy with authoritarian intimidation, it is just politically hypocritical for such a tyrannical regime to claim itself as the promoter of peace, not to mention its expansionist ambition in the South China Sea and its repression in #Hongkong.

[First anniversary of #831 #PrinceEdward attack]
1. In the past year, everything worsens in #HK, with a draconian #NationalSecurityLaw imposed, textbooks censored, #hkprotesters forced into exile, and the fate of 12 asylum seekers now left unknown during detention in #China.

[Religious talks via #GoogleMeet allegedly surveilled by #CCP security agency in #HK]
1. @hkcnews_com reports the HKCCCC church held an online talk on Christianity in #China via #googlemeet on Aug 30, illustrating the history of religious policies in China.

@joshuawongcf
4. It is the first time ever that even religious activities in #Hongkong were allegedly surveilled by #China’s agents two months after the new #nationalsecuritylaw has been put in place.

[#Germany intimidated by #China one year ago]
1. While #China threatened #CzechRepublic @SenatCZ head @Vystrcil_Milos on his #Taiwan visit, #German realized that same thing happened to them 1y ago when @HeikoMaas was intimidated by #Beijnig after his meeting with me last year.
