She was loved for standing up to China. She may die in jail. The story of Claudia Mo is also that of 🇨🇳Beijing’s tightening grip on #HongKong ft.com/content/439fb0…
One year ago, #CCPChina🇨🇳 forcefully shut down Apple Daily, a newspaper that provided a voice for HongKongers. The forced closure of #AppleDaily🍎 effectively marks the death of press freedom in #HongKong. twitter.com/Stand_with_HK/…

China’s national flags and #HKSAR flags are displayed on the handrails of every floor of a residential building in #HongKong to welcome the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland on July 1, 2022. #HKSAR25YEARS

#HongKong cartoonist and visual artist Wong Chiu Tat said he left the city last year. Political cartoons are region specific, so it’s challenging to keep creating works abt HK, he said. “But it’s better than in HK, where I couldn’t even draw anything.” ynews.page.link/JrDP
2022.7.1 marks the 25th year of #HongKong’s handover. Historically, people came out annually on 7.1 to express their grievances of society. That changed 2 years ago, when #CCPChina🇨🇳 enacted the National Security Law. Now, many HongKongers are serving arbitrarily long jail terms.

My new oped just out, on the 25th anniversary of #HongKong's handover "When the U.K. handed Hong Kong over to China on July 1, 1997, the city was one of Asia’s freest and most open. Now it is a repressive police state. What went wrong?" wsj.com/articles/hong-… via @WSJopinion

On the 25th anniversary of the #HongKong handover, our CEO @benedictrogers calls in this @WSJopinion op-ed for more lifeboat schemes for #HongKongers to get to freedom and for sanctions against those responsible for dismantling the city's freedoms wsj.com/articles/hong-…
🇨🇳 CCTV’s Livestream unwittingly showed us what we were not supposed to see. Xi Jinping’s highly anticipated speech in #HongKong was delivered to a massive crowd of… FOUR people. This is how the Leader of a “Great Nation” is addressing ‘HongKongers’, inside of a train station:
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of #HongKong's return to the motherland, let us work together to create a even better future!

"Unless the regime is made to pay a price for its actions ... it will only be emboldened in its repression ... We cannot allow it to get away with breaking promises and destroying #HongKong with impunity." Our CEO @benedictrogers' writing today telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07/0…
Amid the large police presence in #HongKong during Xi Jinping’s apparent ‘visit’ on 7.1, a sign was found in busy Causeway Bay. It reads: “We have the right to mourn. I’ll keep mourning you til someone mourns me.” 「悼念是每個人的權利,所以直至有人悼念我之前,我都會繼續悼念你」
Enforcing central authorities' jurisdiction & keeping power firmly in the hands of patriots is a celebratory message for #HongKong by #China's leader. The remarks, as reported by #CCP media, whisked away freedom & the audience forever. Any more #1C2S illusions? Not in #Taiwan. JW

The new Chief Executive of HongKong basically says he is the judge, the police and the law maker. He just uses one sentence to destroy the foundation of HK. #大翻译运动 #HongKong #TheGreatTranslationMovement
