2/ In the past, Hong Kong has firewalls to fend off the political influence from China, such as guarantees of human rights protections, an independent judiciary and loose business regulations. These are the reasons why businesses choose Hong Kong as the destination of investment.

I like how I'm reflecting on the repression of HK/TW by great powers and critiquing the post-1945 international order here, and then, instead of at least attempting to engage with my argument, these Chinese "wumao" bots casually flood my feed with stupid things like this. twitter.com/XflJasmine/sta…

We invite you to join petition (bit.ly/save12youthspe…) & upload photo with #Save12 to urge the immediate return of the 12 HK detainees from China. I wish more people can pass our devotion on and do as much as you can to stand with people of Hong Kong.

2/ If it is the case, I am utterly disappointed about German Gov’s unprincipled response towards evil law. Even though I entirely understand that German may have concerns about sanctions, but it doesn't mean that Germany has to wholly ignorant of domestic & foreign concerns...

[Media meltdown to a new level]
1. Terrifying to know #Australian reporters #BillBirtles & #MichaelSmith were forced to flee amid #Beijing's political intimidation. In the middle of the night, agents visited their homes & once banned them from leaving.

【My Speech at Cambridge Union】
It wouldn’t be surprising if the @cambridgeunion debate would later become proof of crime at a Chinese courtroom. That freedom of expression is not just vanishing, but non-existent to many people in HK as the authority requests total conformity.

This is the new look of the No. 2 Bridge, a pathway into @CUHKofficial, the college campus under siege by the #HKPolice for five days last November. Now it looks like a pathway to prison. What an ironic visualization of how the government sees our generation: all criminals. twitter.com/hkStephenSYY/s…

Joshua concerned that national security legislation will only exacerbate police overreach. He was arrested last summer on charges & his phone was among others seized and searched by law enforcement using technology that allowed them to crack his passcode. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Happy birthday to @durov, founder of @telegram, which powers leaderless movt against authoritarian rules & censorship in #Hongkong & #Belarus, and enhances our resilience against #China’s oppression & #policebrutality. #HKers owe you for what you've done.

9/ Worse still, it seems that the chance of bail is slim under the national security law, not to mention the high possibility of being extradited to China’s secret courts and black prisons. Today is a painful day for every freedom-loving Hongkonger in the city.

If HKGov arrested political leaders, including Martin Lee, in Nov, 100000 people would've taken to the street immediately that night in different districts. But due to safety concerns over the coronavirus which make it difficult to gather people on the street, it has taken adv.
