In submitting his bid to run in #HongKong #Legco2020 Kowloon East, @joshuawongcf says the decision to #DQ him or not is one that involves foreign diplomacy & the geo-political environment. “It’s up to the Chinese Communist Party officials” to consider these factors

It’s impossible to summarise the new horrors #HongKong ppl wake up to each day since Beijing imposed a national security law, but in a story for @WPReview, I try to explain why the day Hong Kong dies is different for everyone.

Extra security at #HongKong Govt HQ ahead of vetting of national anthem law, with special metal railings that apparently cannot be unlocked erected. Activists have been unlocking them to use them as makeshift barricades to block roads during months of #HongKongProtests

Thank you @SecBlinken for concerning and standing with #HongKong. More actions, particularly economic #sanctions and coordinated efforts with other like-minded nations are paramount as the next step forward.

Hong Kong is transformed from Asia's financial hub to Xi's 'wallet'

I have a lot of respect for @RishiSunak. The way he handled the pandemic was deeply impressive. But I think we all want to know what his #China policy is & where he stands on #UyghurGenocide & dismantling of #HongKong's freedoms

A totally absurd & outrageous injustice.
@DrewPavlou is a totally peaceful young man who heroically devotes his energies to highlighting #UyghurGenocide, #Tibet, the dismantling of #HongKong's freedoms & #China's #CCP repression
He should be applauded, not arrested / twitter.com/DrewPavlou/sta…

香港警察が子供に殺意を沸かし、殺そうとしてる瞬間。
政府が黒幕である以上、我々一般市民はあらゆる方法を使って子供を守りながら、悪の集団へ裁かなければならないです。

It’s a question you always hear, as if it’s a solution to all the problems in #HongKong - are you leaving? Many think of moving as the easy way out. It is not. The pain doesn’t subside after you go. As one family explains in tears, you bear the guilt of abandoning your home. twitter.com/ShibaniMahtani…

無論雨怎麼打自由仍是會開花 "No matter how it rains, freedom will blossom", a line from Flower of Freedom, sung at every Tiananmen vigil. By banning this year's event, #HongKong govt may have made it the most meaningful yet. Ppl held vigils across town despite the political storm twitter.com/rachel_cheung1…

A regime that dismantles #HongKong's freedoms, in total breach of an international treaty, does not deserve to host Olympics.
That's why we will not watch #GenocideGames #Beijing2022 #Beijing2022WinterOlympics
