4/ HK’s judiciary independence will be in peril since #Beijing has already criticized local courts’ rulings last year, let alone more sensitive matters like national security. It will be the new weapon for Beijing to put pressure on UK companies like HSBC to side with China.

@joshuawongcf
But in newyear, I see hope in HKers & other freedom lovers of the world. HKers do not fight alone. This is a global fight against the authoritarian expansion of CCP worldwide. We don’t want basic freedoms, human rights & democratic systems fall prey to #beijing’s manipulation.

@joshuawongcf
4/ Nevertheless, in the face of mounting calls for a full shutdown, Carrie Lam has repeatedly dismissed public demands, just like how she handles call for an investigation into police & political reforms. Her decision is disputed by public policy experts & Pro-Beijing parties.
1930
@joshuawongcf
1/ Concerning what the world could do, as the new law criminalizes all international advocacy, any calls for concrete actions that the world should do become politically sensitive, especially when several activists are now wanted on charges of colluding with foreign forces.

It's an adage that he admits pushes him to fight the good fight for democracy in his homeland. The documentary almost plays out like the origin story of a superhero movie; it’s the scrawny teenager versus the unflinching, shadowy government.

7/ 또 중국 공산당이 우리를 말살하려 할 때 더 큰 민심의 압박을 받게 될 것이라는 것을 그들이 깨닫게 할 수 있을 것입니다. 중국 공산당이 우리가 국제 사회와 연대하는 것을 막기 위해 들이는 비용과 수고를 더해주기 위해서라도 저는 이렇게...

[#AntiELAB Movement vs #UmbrellaMovement: are #HKers walking on the old path?]
1.1/ #HK's protests have indeed reduced due to the #COVID19 and the #NationalSecurityLaw. #HKGov mass arrests protestors, and crackdown on the education, mass media, medical and judicial industries.

黃臨福 Hoang, 16
Wong is the youngest among the 12 detainees. Supposedly, as a teen under 18, he can't entrust a lawyer on his on device. However, HKGov claimed that Wong voluntarily did so. Wong’s family lawyers requested a meeting with officials but were forced to withdraw.

6/ In order to safeguard Hong Kong’s civil liberties and foreign interests in the city, the British government should consider all measures to call for the withdrawal of the national security law, such as ruling out Huawei from its involvement in the 5G network in the UK.
1936
@joshuawongcf
17/ However, Xi Jingping’s rigid regime has not taken lessons from the explosive outbreak and is clamping down on the coronavirus coverage. “We want freedom of speech” was trending on social media channels with millions of views before it was quickly deleted.
1937
@joshuawongcf
7/ All mask imports from China are now barred from entering HK. Logistic companies and e-commerce platforms simply reject orders to the city. Even more ridiculously, HKGov has filed appeals against the court’s ruling of the ban on face masks as unconstitutional early last month.
1938
@joshuawongcf
5/ Worse still, HKGov just claimed that national security is not part of the city's autonomy and entirely under charge of CCP. Beijing is literally imposing a CCP-led secret police agency to enforce China’s law in the territory of HK that threatens HK's judiciary independence.

郭子麟 Kok, 18
Apart from his family, Kwok, an HKU Student who loves drama, was also thinking about a girl whom he knew from the Drama Club. Perhaps she is, indeed, the main cast of his life. Before leaving his homeland, he plucked up all his courage to confess to the girl...

03. Urging Article 23 legislation
The maintenance of national sovereignty, unity & territorial integrity is the constitutional responsibility of the HK. The HKSAR shall complete the national security legislation procedures as prescribed by the Basic Law of the HKSAR asap.
1941
@joshuawongcf
5. The implication is enormous - while investors value rule of law & judiciary independence as crucial factors for their confidence in this global city, the new interpretation on the roles of judiciary and legislature will further harm their confidence under #NationalSecurityLaw

@joshuawongcf
Again, @icao proved how Beijing continue to put pressure and bully international organizations by its authoritarian value and sharp power. Aviation security should not be hijacked by those Beijing loyalists.

鄧棨然 Tang, 30
Suffering from asthma and skin disease, 30-year old Tang might not have medicine since related information was not found. Worrying, his mother’s every single word in the press conference was heartbreaking to many.
1944
@joshuawongcf
3/ Draconian laws strengthen authoritarian-inclined leaders’ grip on the city’s liberties. but it only makes more HKerds support democracy in HK. In our cause for democracy, we hope the world can continue to #standwithhk & confront Beijing crackdown.

6/ To protect our #Belarusian fellows from crackdowns, #HKers call upon @Cellebrite_UFED and Israeli government to stop exporting cyber forensics technologies to #Belarus. #EU should impose export bans on all equipment that can be used for international repression in Belarus.

...echoing to one of students’ sayings - “striving all your effort and leaving no regrets”. Life is like a play. Contemplating on the rippling waters, was he wondering whether this his affection would simply be buried, like a pearl sinking into in the vast ocean?

5/ To defy the greatest human rights abusers is the essential way to restore democracy of our generation, and the generation following us.

6/ 다음 주에 있을 선거를 홍보하는데 국가 보안법의 시행으로 조금 망설여지는 듯도 합니다. 하지만 초선 표 수가 많은 수록 그리고 더 많은 사람들이 투표할수록 우리와 특정 정치인의 안전을 보장받을 수 있을 것입니다.
