#hongkongers own them our deep gratitude for their generous support. When #HKGov is reducing into a failed state and completely mishandles #coronavirus, it proves once again that a robust civil society with strong international networks is the only way out for #HongKong.

2. The exporter added HKgov always stresses One Country is above everything, even the Two Systems, "When the world starts to treat HK in the same way as they do to other mainland cities, our government now emphasizes 'independence of #HongKong’ instead. It's just ridiculous."

Not sure why Regina Ip blames me alone for saying the obvious: cops in #HongKong do not follow rules 🤷♂️ This is well-documented by the media. Also, polls consistently show >80% support for an independent investigation into police conduct, 1 of the 5 demands. Does she support too? twitter.com/WilliamYang120…
