The WHO is an arm of Chinese diplomacy under the guise of liberal internationalism or global governance. Transnational cooperation is of course crucial to combating pandemics, but the institution in question is the anthesis of it, as the shunning of Taiwan makes painfully clear. twitter.com/RepJimBanks/st…

9/ When more people who defend against an evil law fall behind bars, it only reveals the injustice of the system. June 12 of 2019 was the time when #HKers came up with our 5 demands & urged for a more accountable & democratic gov, and an independent probe into police atrocities.

2/ Recently I have received several complaints from current workers at Apple Store in Hong Kong, who blasted the company’s managers for imposing restrictive guidelines at the workplace, including banning employees from wearing yellow masks or those printed with “Hong Kong”.

저는 한국어를 하지 못합니다. 언론사에서 보내준 번역 그대로 업로드를 하다 보니 '광주사태'로 표기된 점을 알지 못했습니다. 사과드립니다.
한국 언론에서 정치적인 목적의 인터뷰는 자제해 주세요.

10/ Democratic values and the virtue to respect treaties are the foundation of democracies. If China’s flagrant breach of Joint Declaration, a legally binding international treaty at the @UN, is tolerated, it will set a bad precedent to all other treaties and agreements alike.

13/ There are fears Beijing could accuse him of colluding with foreign forces to jeopardize national security, one of four crimes under the new security law, which introduced penalties ranging from three years to life imprisonment.

4. In fact, since 2017, China has built a nationwide database of DNA samples. In the pretext of free health checks, blood samples from millions of Uyghurs were gathered without consent. nytimes.com/2020/06/17/wor…

As #Thai government is silencing dissents and putting #freespeech under attack, #Hongkongers and the world please #StandwithThailand, continue spreading their words and make their voices heard.

[#China blocks MPs from meeting pro-democracy figures]
1. #Beijing exerted pressure on #Canadian MPs, urging them not to meet #HK democracy figures, incl recently arrested media mogul #JimmyLai and me during their tour to HK in 2017, per @globeandmail.

9/ The sanctions should not only be restricted to personal sanctions like travel bans and asset freezes (since China won’t really realize the severity), but also partial sanctions on pro-#CCP companies and dual-use technology.

@joshuawongcf
4/ Especially when commerce chambers like BDI and European Union Chamber of Commerce in China have already warned of the grave consequences, it is just scandalous if Berlin fails to take any action to urge China to withdraw the law.

@joshuawongcf
4/ Beijing has labelled him the “black hand” of foreign forces for his campaign for international support for HK protests – an accusation that makes him vulnerable to the “collusion” charge of the new law, punishable by jail terms between three years to life imprisonment.

[Coming out to vote shows that you care about the future even if you don’t support any candidates on the ballot]
Commenting on democratic erosion, I pleaded for all to exercise their right to vote while HKers can't even have the right to elect the leader.

3/ Now is the time for us to work closely in this perennial struggle. Free-election is the only way out. I just remember the quote from Lord Alton “If great cities like London or NY can have directly elected mayors then why can't HK?"

[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

4/ Joshua Wong says he expects to be arrested at any time and fears disappearing into a secret jail across the border in mainland China. "My arrest seems to be a matter of timing. Time is running out on my personal safety."

@joshuawongcf
5/ The world should be shocked by a slight glance at how Beijing uses the law in Mainland China - Booksellers and liberal writers like Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo were put into prison in the name of national security.

4/ There is no way for Beijing to turn deaf ear to our demands. I hope the Italian government and society can stand with HK in our fight for freedoms. The incident also shows that democracy is the best solution to enhance HK’s autonomy and defend against China’s interference.

6/ Citizen reporters like TanZuoren were put into prison in the name of national security. Religious groups & pastors like Wang Yi were put into in the name of national security. Bloggers that just mentioned Umbrella Movement were put into prison in the same of national security.

7/ When Beijing is introducing this ambiguously defined law, unchecked enforcement practices and a Gestapo-like national security branch in the territory of Hong Kong, does Germany still believe that it can remain business as usual with China?

After hearing Jack Ma’s speech at the Shanghai Bund Financial Forum, Xi ordered the suspension of Ant Group’s fund-raising plan of more than $US34 billion. It proved how Beijing shows no respect on economic freedom and market mechanism with abuse of power. wsj.com/amp/articles/c…

4/ The proposed law is the stepping stone for its future intervention. In order to protect the business interest in the city, especially those choosing Hong Kong as the regional headquarters, it is crucial for companies to voice out and oppose the passing of the law.
