At a boba shop in #HongKong: “support one country one system”, “long live chairman Mao” , “Mao once said a single spark can light a prairie fire”.

I'm saddened to learn of the death of the civil-rights hero and Congressman John Lewis. He was a tireless champion of a more equal America, a more equal world, through his activism and public service, which have inspired so many of us. I'll never forget his support for #HongKong. twitter.com/RepTomSuozzi/s…

Supporting #HongKong is a bipartisan consensus in DC; neither party alone "owns" this issue, and neither is an "obstacle." Based on my experience, the trouble comes invariably from the business community who favors stronger ties to Beijing and thus access to the Chinese market. twitter.com/hkdc_us/status…

My thoughts on the shift of EU's attitude towards China. Change is happening and our values would lead us the way.

From London to San Francisco, from Tokyo to Kampala, the #FridaysForFreedom protest to defend #HongKong continues.
This Friday, join @now4humanity volunteers in front of Chinese Embassies all over the world to #StandWithHongKong.

In these troubled times when Hongkong is torn up by Beijing, the wisdom of our last governor, Chris Patten, inspired me to persist. Thank you for standing with us.

Great to be able to tweet again. Picking up from where I left off earlier: I urge our American friends who support #HongKong to call your Representatives and Senators in Congress to back the #HKSHA. We did it with the landmark #HKHRDA last year. Let's do it again now. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

Huge boost! A group of over 20 former top foreign-policy officials from the Trump, Obama and Bush administrations just endorsed the bipartisan #HongKong Safe Harbor Act, authored by @marcorubio, @SenatorMenendez, @CurtisUT and @JoaquinCastrotx. foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/15/chi…

Breaking: President Trump signed the #HongKong Autonomy Act into law.
“The bill that President Trump signed also allows for sanctions against banks doing business with blacklisted officials and agencies.”

There’ve been many spinoffs of the movie poster for #HongKong film Beyond the Dream. Even Big Waster, mascot of environmental protection department joined in at one point.
But we now have a winner, I think. “I don’t mind the handover, do you?”

#HongKong govt is closing amusement places amid 3rd wave of COVID-19, so it will be a while before I can check this out. But the Siu Hei playground, newly designed by One Bite Design Studio and Never-Never, is a sight to behold.

Vote counting at the #HongKong Public Opinion Research Institute continues after 610,000 casted their ballots at the two-day primary elections organised by pro-democratic politicians.

Main takeaways:
-HK movement is alive,primary election was successful
-Countries like the #US should end extradition to Hong Kong
-Sanctions placed on officials& Police that are responsible
-Boycott 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
-Countries should not be bought by China

ICYMI: This #HongKong retired double decker bus, now being used for the pro-democracy camp’s primary in Jordan, is actually Island district councillor Sheep Yeung’s mobile office.
He wrote on social media he will use it as office after the primaries & he will fit it with air-con

Collected from our readers. Pro democracy primary election. #HongKong people is truly amazing! Tell the world!

Beijing tries their every effort to halt the primary election of the pro-democracy camp. But the Hong Kong people will respond it with a firmer stance — we will exercise our freedom of expression to support our political representatives. Go VOTE! 🗳️

@joshuawongcf
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.

It would be so much easier to just give in, comply with the new laws, drop one’s ideals, stay alive. “But could you live with yourself?”

Pro-democratic politicians are holding a primary election in #HongKong today, ahead of the Legislative Council election in Sept. Held for the 1st time, the move is to consolidate support so the pan-democrats can take more seats in the legislature. legco2020.vote4.hk/primaries/stat…

Wow, a sitting U.S. Senator called @NBA out for allowing players to wear only pre-approved political slogans on their jerseys that DON'T address human-rights abuses in #HongKong and #Xinjiang. Then @wojespn replied to his office's e-mail with two words: "fuck you". Just insane! twitter.com/HawleyMO/statu…
