It’s my pleasure to speak with @jonsnowC4. Indeed, under #nationalsecuritylaw, continuing to fight for freedoms in #Hongkong is always risking our life by #Beijing, but that is the duty of our generation to carry on the cause. twitter.com/jonsnowC4/stat…

1/ #Hongkongers welcome @BorisJohnson’s visa offer to 3 million #HongKong citizens, at the time when #Beijing government completely ignores the will of #HKers and unilaterally imposes the draconian #nationalsecuritylaw over the city.
28
1/ Soon after #Beijing issued arrest warrants for the first non-Chinese national under its sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, @SenatorMenendez and @RepEliotEngel condemned #China’s move in their statement, "today we are all Hong Kongers.” patreon.com/posts/today-we…

4. With a more stringent #nationalsecuritylaw in #China, as well as other draconian criminal laws #HK doesn’t have, it is worrying that they could be sent to #China’s secret courts & black prisons, with restricted access to lawyers & high risk of forced confession under torture.

[In response to Australia's new policies on #HK] 1. When #China is imposing the new sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw on the city, Australia’s new visa policy serves as a vital safe haven for freedom-loving #HongKongers amid political persecution under China’s new Orwellian law.
31
3. Since it could be the first case that #HKers are put on trial in China’s secret court under #nationalsecuritylaw, we hope the world can keep watch on the situation and wish they can all come back safe. #save12hkyouths #save12hkyouth #save12
32
[Response to US's visa ban on CCP officials] 1. When #Beijing insists on ramming through an unpopular & sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw that imperils HK’s autonomy, @SecPompeo just announced visa bans on #CCP officials responsible for undermining #HK’s autonomy and human rights.
33
[Witch hunting under #nationalsecuritylaw] 1. I just wrote back to electoral officers this morning. Clearly, a large-scale witch hunt is underway & electoral officers are cooking up #nationalsecurity charges against all pro-democracy runners, not solely vetting our candidacy. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…
34
[Primary Election Tomorrow: Our vote is our voice to the world] 1. In next two days, primary election for pro-democracy camps will be held. First time after enactment of #nationalsecuritylaw, #HKers can show our determination for democracy & liberty w/ our votes in this election
35
[Joint Statement by primary winners on #nationalsecuritylaw] 1. As #Beijing plans to set endorsing security law as prerequisite for running in LegCo election in Sep, 16 #hkprimaries winners read out a joint statement today, urging all parties to stand firm to oppose sweeping law
36
1. While #China imposed a new law that can expel elected lawmakers directly, HK regulators attempted to comfort foreign investors in this int'l city by claiming "financial institutions can implement US sanctions" w/o fear of violating #nationalsecuritylaw ft.com/content/0ba08d…
37
Under #nationalsecuritylaw & #China’s #WolfWarriorDiplomacy, it's just a matter of time for foreign firms to consider withdrawing from #Hongkong, esp when even Australian reporters can suddenly fall victim to #Beijing’s #hostagediplomacy threat overnight. japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/09/0…
38
[First judge resigns amid #nationalsecuritylaw] 1. Appalled to hear that our prominent #Australian judge James Spigelman resigned from #HK appeals court over #NSL, days after #Beijing claims there is no separation of powers in HK abc.net.au/news/2020-09-1…
39
4. More than just turning lies into truths with disinformation, today’s incident sends a worrying signal to how #HKgov will enforce #nationalsecuritylaw in the city, where even basic facts can be rewritten to suit the official narrative and justify future repression.
40
Gov declares “liberate #hongkong, the revolution of our times” is illegal under the new #nationalsecuritylaw
41
[Financial censorship amid unfree speech] 1. More than just crackdowns on dissidents, #nationalsecuritylaw has repercussions on this global financial city, as global banks now screen clients’ accounts, public speeches, interviews and online posts. reut.rs/2OCACAf
42
[First #hkprotesters, then teachers & lawmakers, now reporters, who's next?] 1 4months under #nationalsecuritylaw, #hkpolice just arrested a reporter #ChoyYukLing for using car records to identify assailants of #YuenLongMobAttack on #HKers in documentary hongkongfp.com/2020/11/03/bre…
43
BREAKING: Lai Chee Ying, Jimmy, founder of Next Digital and popular newspaper Apple Daily, was just arrested for collusion with foreign forces under the new National Security Law. His son and other five people were just arrested. #nationalsecuritylaw #hongkong
44
3. Even after the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw comes into force, HKers have shown our determination for democracy, by protesting with blank white papers and casting ballots in #hkprimaries, in order to let our voices be heard by the world.
45
[New clampdown on #HK press freedom] 1. While Beijing claims #nationalsecuritylaw won't affect #PressFreedom in #Hongkong, #HK Immigration Dept just denied w/o reason the work visa for a @HongKongFP reporter, who has been closely following #hkprotests hongkongfp.com/2020/08/27/vis…
46
2. Clearly #Beijing and #hkpolice attempt to create fear today when #Hongkongers staged protests urging gov to resume the #LegCo2020 election, opposing DNA collection and #nationalsecuritylaw and releasing 12 #hkers detained in #China.
47
30 years after #TienanmenSquareMassacre, #Beijing’s state-owned paper now framed annual candlelight vigil's organizer, #HKAlliance, as a “subversive body” that is alleged to peril national security & collude w/ foreign forces, & urged #HKgov to suppress it w/ #nationalsecuritylaw
48
5. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, no one would know if you will be tailed by security agents next time. But despite all forces and fear, #HKers will continue our fight for justice, as our spirit of resistance will never die. #savehk12youths #savehk12youth
49
While ppl worldwide living under growing authoritarian influence, I just wrote my first @LetterWiki letter to @DJtotheS w/ thoughts on how HKers respond w/ hope through persistent resistance while #China rules the city with fear under #nationalsecuritylaw letter.wiki/conversation/8…

2. It is the first time that sacred texts are largely replaced by Chinese nationalistic education in religious textbooks. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, now even the controversial sinicized Christianity in #China started to expand to #HK with HK diocese kowtowing to #Beijing.
