6/ Apart from what the new administration should do, it's clear that HKers look forward to who the next Secretary of State will be and how the national security council is formulated. Even under same administration, @SecPompeo has placed more attention on HK than his predecessor.

3/ Since China’s red lines were freshly imposed upon the city overnight, it still needs more time to figure it out. However, beyond any doubts, Hongkongers will continue our fight and never surrender, just as tens of thousands of the city’s demonstrators showed yesterday.
