3/ Beijing may block representatives of pro-democracy candidates or observers from entering mainland China which would leave the polling stations in mainland China unmonitorable.
952
@joshuawongcf
4/ It will also enable the government to influence the results of future elections by manipulating the results of polling stations in mainland China. It is abundantly clear that the proposal of overseas voting is politically driven and in favour of pro-Beijing candidates.
953
@joshuawongcf
2/ We strongly oppose Carrie Lam's proposal, given that such a proposal will create an opportunity for election fraud. We concern that the fairness of elections will be undermined.

9/ No one knows when the election will be reopened, whether the postponement will be extended, how the current legislature will be shaken up, and how many pro-democracy incumbents will be arrested under #nationalsecuritylaw.
959
@joshuawongcf
8/ While #Beijing once claimed there would be no speech crime, the reality turns out to be the exact opposite.
After all, the situation becomes more critical, especially after the election was postponed.
960
@joshuawongcf
6/ Meanwhile, #hkpolice has issued arrest warrants for 6 activists under #nationalsecuritylaw, including one American citizen, Samuel Chu, who just exercises his rights to free speech OVERSEAS and urges his own govt to pass legislation, but now falls prey to this sweeping law.

1/When #HKers hope to secure a historic majority in the upcoming election, Gov postponed election & asked #Beijing to deal with whether and how incumbent lawmakers can extend their tenure.
962
@joshuawongcf
5/ #Hongkongers are not merely the people living in #HK or speaking Cantonese, but also those who strive to safeguard liberal values and democracy that we all cherish and #StandwithHK under authoritarian oppression, no matter who you are and where you live.
963
@joshuawongcf
4/ It was the time when the regime began to build Berlin Wall, and East Germany surrounded West Berlin amid the Cold War. When #Beijing tightens its grip in HK, the world starts to realize HK has become West Berlin, despite China’s propaganda campaigns whitewashing its crackdown.
964
@joshuawongcf
2/ In case you don’t know, this line refers to President John F. Kennedy’s famous "Ich bin ein Berliner!" speech when he visited West Berlin in 1963, "Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was civis Romanus sum..........

@joshuawongcf
1/ Soon after #Beijing issued arrest warrants for the first non-Chinese national under its sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, @SenatorMenendez and @RepEliotEngel condemned #China’s move in their statement, "today we are all Hong Kongers.”

5. DNA samples are used for tracking ethnic minorities and dissidents and also added to its sophisticated facial recognition systems, as per reports. As China is paving ways to extend its surveillance systems to #Hongkong, it is worrying that HK might soon become Xinjiang.
968
@joshuawongcf
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…
969
@joshuawongcf
2. Up to now, Beijing and #hkgov fail to provide details primarily about how DNA samples will be used during and after test, and whether those samples collected will be sent to Mainland afterwards.
970
@joshuawongcf
3. Worse still, even the city’s head in charge of controlling #covid19 never heard of the plan. As a result, it casts more doubts on whether #China is imposing genetic surveillance in #HK while #hkpolice recently took DNA swabs of #hkprotesters under sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw
971
@joshuawongcf
[The city's largest-ever DNA collection by #China]
1. Starting from today, #Beijing will send medical personnel from China to #HK for mass testing. Just like #nationalsecuritylaw legislation, the decision is unilaterally imposed without public consultation.

7. We didn't have anywhere to eat, and you told us to go eat in public parks.
8. We helped you fight the virus, and you froze our pay.
9. We lost our jobs, and you tell us that only our bosses will get financial relief.
973
@joshuawongcf
10. We spoke out for what we believed in, and you accused us of subversion.
11. We were academics fighting for democracy, and so you made us trade our classrooms for a prison cell.

4. We opposed the extradition bill, and you rammed the National Security Law down our throats.
5. We stood for election, and you disqualified us.
6. We went abroad to speak the truth, and so you issued warrants for our arrest.
