5/ Any comments that were unfavourable to China-imposed red line will fall prey to China's hegemony. That will be a dire threat to the freedom of speech of Italian people. Also, overdependence on Chinese investments in infrastructure comes with tremendous political risks.

We call on the French government to call a halt to its export of tactical suits to our notorious #HKGov. We also invite the world to join our petition before April.
