Over 30 #hkpolice today surrounded & arrested a #HKer when he tried to put a caricature of #Xijinping with #coronavirus head onto #lennonwall in #KwunTong #HK. Clearly, #hkpolice’s only duty is to carry out political censorship & save face for this authoritarian leader of #China.
2/ Jimmy Lai, most high-profile pro-democracy media tycoon, has been critical of #HKGov & #CCP leadership. He was invited by @VP Mike Pence & @SecPompeo to share #HK situation. As press freedom isn't allowed under authoritarian regime of #Xijinping, he becomes the prime target.
#Beijing loyalist Erick Tsang was promoted to be the minister on constitutional and mainland affairs. He was a big fan of #Xijinping by deliberately putting his picture in his office during interviews. twitter.com/demosisto/stat…
4/ With the ill-defined law interpretation and a #secretpolice agency imposed in #HK, the law will harm all foreign interests and ex-pats in this global city. #Xijinping proposed in 2017 that China’s #nationalsecurity covers economic and social aspects.
4. Evidently, the decision is one step closer to the implementation of “cooperation of powers” policy proposed by #Xijinping in 2008, emphasizing that judiciary and legislature are required to support the administrative branch.
4. Even now, teachers in China are reprimanded after students report them for questioning the governance of #Xijinping during lectures. nytimes.com/2019/11/01/wor…
