China is the most powerful autocratic regime. Our struggle has become your struggle, whether you like it or not. I call the Hong Kongers’ fight “an infinity war” which “I am afraid, may be coming soon to a political theatre near you.” areomagazine.com/2020/02/19/big…

[HKers Petition for Taiwan’s Bid to Join the WHA 2020 by @SunnyCheungky & @joshuawongcf:chng.it/KH8c8PVdBY]

[Stalker got caught & jumped over metro turnstile to escape]
Getting dogged by police, pro-China paparazzi and other unknown persons has been a part of my daily life, but this time I’d like to share a rare and hilarious scene of an amateur stalker running off when he got caught.

Last year I asked you all to add a 😷 emoji to your Twitter name in support of the #HongKong protests after the government outlawed masks. This ban has since been reversed by the court but we now wear them for a different reason: the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak 😷😷😷😷😷😷

[Please #prayforthewestcoast as #WestCoastFires rage]
1. Unbelievably upset & horrified to see how #wildfires rage across #WestCoast, blanketing #California, #Oregon & #Washington in apocalyptic orange glow, destroying towns, burning homes & killing many.

1/ Among many differences in ideals and tactics between us, Tony has been through similar state-driven harassment and attacks as I had in previous months. Today he carries four charges, including #secession under #NSL, publishing seditious material and 2 money-laundering offences

【Who is responsible for #COVID19, China or US? In #HKer's perspective|Joshua @demosisto, @SunnyCheungky】
#WHO came out twice to applaud China & Xi for his effort & “transparency” in fighting #WuhanVirus, when whistleblowers were detained & silenced.

5/ Today’s rally is the prelude to a larger scale of protest before the announcement of evil law. It's time for HKers to fight back & safeguard HK. I call upon the world to #StandwithHK & oppose #nationalsecuritylaw which poses a threat to all ex-pats & travellers in global city.

5/ Also, I also call on Hongkongers and Taiwanese to support our allies in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It is utterly immoral for China to control the water in the Mekong River and let people die of severe drought. China must #StopMekongDam.

Asian collaboration will enhance the unity of youths. China should realise sharp power expansion & Wolf Warrior diplomacy is not working. If anyone believes in democracy & against authoritarian crackdown, they could recognize as part of #MilkTeaAliance. time.com/5904114/milk-t…

[Detainee faces indefinite detention & tortures in #HK]
1. A detainee from #India on hunger strike was brutally beaten by officers at Castle Peak Bay Immigration Center (CIC, aka "black prison"), before unwillingly sending to hospital for forced injection, per @appledaily_hk.

Great thank to Patrizia De Graziai @grazia_patrizia, @stefano_lodola & other activists from @Radicali who are calling for more local attention to #12hkyouths detained in #China by sailing 12 paper boats on the Po river in #Italy, on Day 6 of their hunger strike for #Hongkong.

Europe can no longer afford Germany's failed China policy of 'change through trade'.

Less than 24 hours after the law comes to effect, the most absurd thing happened when a #HKer that chanted "Long Live Liverpool" was accused by #hkpolice for inciting HK independence. Most importantly, #Beijing can use this law to arrest foreigners or foreign companies in #HK. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

Joshua was transferred to Stanley Prison after finishing his sentence early this month. In January, HK Court of Appeal reduced Joshua's sentence to 8 months for participating in the June 4th Vigil. The date of his NSL trial is yet to be fixed while he remains in custody.

As the Coronavirus became a worldwide health emergency, it frightens almost everyone in the world.
1/ The disease itself is terrifying, but what is more terrifying is the panic caused by misinformation, false rumours and bias.

A good oped worth reading.
"I’m an HK doctor – police crackdown on protesters has turned even hospitals into war zones. I've been labeled a ‘riot medic’ for attending to injured HKers, & police have intimidated colleagues who volunteered as first aiders."

My speech in @cambridgeunion: China is the New Imperial Power in HK
1/ China’s national pride & interests override HK’s own interests. The development in past decade has shown that many of the competitive edges of HK as a global financial city.

[When reporting becomes Orwellian thoughtcrime]
1. @JimmyLaiApple's arrest and the raid of @appledaily_hk is a litmus test for the city's #pressfreedom, one of the cornerstones of whether #HK remains open, free and tolerant to critical views under #Beijing's authoritarian rule.

Thai Protests Are Looking More & More like HK's Democracy Movement vice.com/en/article/wx8…
I drew attention to protesters in Bangkok over the after they unified to part & create a path for an ambulance. A similar moment occurred in HK during the tumultuous protests in June 2019.

4/ Some people are respectable because they indeed did something great and conquered the limitations of humanity— being selfless, leading an Europe-wide climate change campaign, sacrificing their future and even their lived for the sake of fundamental human rights.
