3.5/ It is foreseeable that HKers are prepared to fight to protect our vanishing freedoms. To uphold autonomy and freedoms of the city, I call upon the world to stand with HK once again, and oppose this draconian law and urge China to honour its commitment in Joint Declaration.
1559
@joshuawongcf
3.4/ Hongkongers have carried out a large-scale demonstration once in 2003 to block the first introduction of national security legislation. Now Beijing's move is actually ramming this most controversial and unpopular law down HKer's throat without any legislative scrutiny.
1560
@joshuawongcf
3.2/ This is not a question of whether our choices are easy or not, but right or wrong! To fight for any slight hope of democracy under China's authoritarian claws, we insist on not because we are strong, but because we have no other choice.
1561
@joshuawongcf
3.3/ We will continue our cause for democracy since truth and justice should not die in silence. The new law will spark new rounds of protests in the city. In fact, the reason for 2 millions of HKers took to streets is to protect our next generations from evil laws from Beijing.
1562
@joshuawongcf
3/ [And how is the mood in HK?]
3.1/ This is the critical moment of the beginning of the end for every single citizen in HK. In the face of this draconian law, HKers will not be scared off from telling truths and fighting for our justice.
1563
@joshuawongcf
2.3/ China is now scraping the promised autonomy in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, a legally binding international treaty at the United Nations. Hence, it also carries deadly implications to other agreements and cooperations with China.
1564
@joshuawongcf
2.2/ However, we are just the one who tell the truth of autocratic oppression and police brutality to the world. A few days ago, the CCP's mouthpiece, CCTV, publicly accused Nathan Law and me as the leaders behind the movement even though HKProtest is well known as a leaderless.
1565
@joshuawongcf
2/ [How do you see this planned law?]
2.1/ The new law is the direct retaliation on HKers' international lobbying efforts over the past year. I will be probably the prime target of the new law since many of Beijing's officials have been criticizing me for attending hearings.
1566
@joshuawongcf
1.7/ Therefore, this draconian law, once promulgated, is just the prelude to more oppressive controls on the local circles and ex-pats living and working in Hong Kong.
1567
@joshuawongcf
1.6/ China is known for its hostage diplomacy by arresting foreigners as hostages to serve its diplomatic purposes. Foreign reporters were also denied renewals of work visas for covering political dissents in the past.
1568
@joshuawongcf
1.4/ China has been notorious for arresting dissents or foreigners in the name of national security or foreign collusion. The so-called foreign collusion is more than an excuse to rip away pro-democracy forces.
1569
@joshuawongcf
1.3/ The promise of “2systems” can no longer be held. The claim of "foreign collusion" will doubtlessly lead to arbitrary political prosecutions since the law is now enforced not by local courts but by a newly established secret police body, just like China.
1570
@joshuawongcf
1.5/ The law also carries deadly implications for all expats living and working in Hong Kong. In fact, Beijing is notorious accusing critical voices by civil society, ex-pats and media outlets of posing threats to national security in Mainland China.
1571
@joshuawongcf
1.2/ More worryingly, Beijing plans to set up a national security agency to enforce the law in the city. This new secret police body will probably supersede HKGov & police forces and launch secret arrests of all dissents in HK, just like Liu Xiaobo and Gui Minhai.
1572
@joshuawongcf
1/ [Could you give a brief assessment?]
1.1/ The new National Security Law in HK will kill future democratic movements, since all pro-democracy protests in the city can be classified as attempts of subversions of China's authority, just like how the Beijing does in China.
1573

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)
我豈沒有吩咐你麼？你當剛強壯膽！不要懼怕，也不要驚惶；因為你無論往那裡去，耶和華你的神必與你同在。

Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, I hope you find out what it is soon, and do indeed address the issue very strongly. The bipartisan #HKHRDA, which you signed into law last November, provides some important tools to respond. #HongKong needs the world now. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

@joshuawongcf
6/ HKers will not scare off in the face of wolf warrior policy on HK. We will continue our international advocacy & tell the truth of China’s authoritarianism to the world! Deep down HKProtesters know, we insist on not because we are strong, but because we have no other choice.
