2/ 문재인 대통령은 홍콩에 대한 지지를 표명하는 것에 주저하는 경향이 있습니다. 이것에 대해 어떻게 생각하십니까?
2.1/ “이해관계가 인권 원칙보다 우선시 되어서는 안됩니다. 특히 문재인 대통령은 예전에 인권변호사였습니다.

Rare footage of Nancy Pelosi going to Tiananmen Square in 1991 with two House colleagues to mourn those who'd died. As I wrote in an earlier thread reviewing a new biography of her by @mollyesque, she has been in this fight for decades. Thank you! twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s… twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/…

This is amazing. Time and again, we see how people fighting oppression in Hong Kong continue to stand with people fighting oppression in the United States. #BlackLivesMatter twitter.com/austinramzy/st…

6. To safeguard the city's democratic aspirations, civil liberties, and the last hope to remember the atrocity publicly in the future, I call upon the world leaders to take actions to urge #China to withdraw this evil law.

@joshuawongcf
5. Arbitrary arrests, censorship and Chinese-styled snitching culture will become ubiquitous in Hong Kong. Under its #wolfwarrior warrior diplomacy and the ambiguously defined "foreign forces", even foreign investors and ex-pats may fall victim to the new autocratic law.

4. The law is just the stepping stone for more interventions from #Beijing. With its ill-defined scope, the law will doubtlessly become the new weapon to crush dissents. With the new #secretpolice agency, Beijing can enforce #China's law in the territory of #HK.

@joshuawongcf
3. Even before this evil law is implemented, #HKgov has already tightened its grip by banning this years’ candlelight vigil for the first time in 30 years. To block #Hongkongers from joining the vigil, the venue was locked down w/ barricades, with thousands of #hkpolice deployed.

[This year might be the last year of annual #TiananmenVigil in #Hongkong]
1. 31 years ago, Beijing crushed dissents with tanks and guns. 31 years later, Beijing is ripping out our democratic aspiration with a tyrannical law.

@joshuawongcf
2. At the time when #Beijing is unilaterally imposing the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw upon #Hongkong, this year might be the last year that Hongkongers can talk about #TiananmenSquareMassacre publicly.

On #Tiananmen2020, and especially when #HK is in the growing shadow of #NationalSecurityLaw, #Hongkong's stock market today has its unique way to remember #8964 #TiananmenSquareMassacre.
1412
@joshuawongcf
5/ We have the right to remember what happened 31 years ago, and if we gave it up, we will forfeit the right to remember what happened throughout the course of the last 12 months in Hong Kong.

@joshuawongcf
4/ We expected the police to disperse any gathering that takes place on June4. We are worried, but we can't give up our freedom. It might be easier if we stood by, but we will act, not only for ourselves, but also because we believe, plainly & simply, it is the right thing to do.
1414
@joshuawongcf
1/ This year might be the last year that we get to talk about June Fourth publicly. Once the national security law is in effect, simply mentioning the event will be subject to legal prosecution.

[Opinion: Tiananmen has always served as a moral to learn from]
Implementing the new national security law in HK and banning the Tiananmen massacre vigil in the city are attempts to silence Hong Kongers, write activists @joshuawongcf and @KwongGlacier.

Calling on UK to rule out Huawei from 5G infrastructure
1/ With loose capital controls & economic freedom, HK has long been viewed as cash cow for Beijing. China uses HK's currency, equity & debt markets to attract foreign funds, with over 70% of China’s foreign capital via HK.

4/ Under its wolf warrior diplomacy, ex-pats & foreign companies can easily become the targets of new law due to its ambiguously defined “foreign forces”. I call on UK Gov to take vigorous actions & impose necessary sanctions if China insists on scraping Joint Declaration.
1420
@joshuawongcf
5/ Since the law introduces legal and political uncertainties to the city, the world should also reconsider Hong Kong’s special status in order to protect foreign interests and as a way to push for the withdrawal of this evil law.
1421
@joshuawongcf
2/ Business circles, banks, lawyers and scholars fear that the law will introduce Chinese styled snitching culture and censorship to HK. It's foreseeable that more companies are forced to kowtow to Beijing once the law is implemented in HK.

[My respond to HSBC’s top Asia exec has come out in support of the national security law]
1/ HSBC provides a vivid example demonstrating how China will use the national security law as new leverage for more political influence over foreign business community in this global city.
1423
@joshuawongcf
HK’s freedoms have been under constant attack by China, but the situation has been dramatically deteriorating recently, with the CCP pushing through a security law that will effectively put an end to "1country2system". Please take this short survey: now.world/hong_kong_surv…
1424
@joshuawongcf
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.
1425
@joshuawongcf
5/ In order to safeguard HK’s liberties & foreign business interests, I call upon the #UK Gov to impose necessary sanctions & restrictive measures in order to push for the withdrawal of the bill & urge China to honour its promise of autonomy under its UN-filed Joint Declaration.
