I don't believe China will succeed in intimidating HKers but would instead “prompt them to resist”. If anti-subversion law goes ahead, hundreds of thousands are expected to be up in arms again, reigniting protest which has largely paused amid coronavirus. theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…

#Beijing loyalist Erick Tsang was promoted to be the minister on constitutional and mainland affairs. He was a big fan of #Xijinping by deliberately putting his picture in his office during interviews. twitter.com/demosisto/stat…

The Xi regime is taking aim at democracy in Hong Kong, using covid-19 as a cover. @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…

[A Game-changer for HK Protests] Thank you for interviewing me! As pandemic forces people to stay home, a new game for Nintendo Switch is proving to be a smash hit. @nhk_news World's Takamura Keiichi reports that it's also become an avenue for protest. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ne…

I like how I'm reflecting on the repression of HK/TW by great powers and critiquing the post-1945 international order here, and then, instead of at least attempting to engage with my argument, these Chinese "wumao" bots casually flood my feed with stupid things like this. twitter.com/XflJasmine/sta…

More on the nation-state framework's flaws: putting countries above peoples replicates unequal power relations. It legitimizes authoritarian regimes that pretend to speak for their subjects and, in cases like China, that claim territories over which they have no actual control. twitter.com/wilfredchan/st…

Hong Kongers have long faced the same problem: limited rights and representation anywhere in the past, despite considerable freedom offered by the British Empire. Since the Chinese takeover in 1997, we've been facing much worse. Solidarity with TW is both moral and necessary!

@joshuawongcf
Peoples overlooked by an international system built around the idea of nation-states must work even harder than otherwise to "prove" their "worthiness" for rights and representation, like minority groups in diverse societies. TW has far exceeded that bar and is still neglected.

TW offers *the* best model for combating the Wuhan virus we've seen thus far. The WHO's despicable exclusion of it is therefore not just problematic for silencing an entire country's people on the international stage, but is particularly detrimental to global public health now. twitter.com/stegersaurus/s…

5/ When all countries are now busy combating #coronavirus, the authoritarian regime of #China is now clamping down on democracy movements in #HongKong. I call upon the world to keep watch on #Beijing’s tyranny and #standwithhk.

3/ As #HKPolice hacked phones of mine & @chowtingagnes & extract our personal information without our consent, arrest this time is more than just prosecutions! Police took adv of this opportunity to hack all phones & gather WhatsApp & Telegram conversations of key activists.

1/ It is crazy for #hkpolice to arrest the 81-yo veteran democrat #MartinLee, the Father of Democracy. He is the one who helped draft #HK’s basic law under #1country2systems. For almost 40 years, he has been promoting democracy and human rights in #HongKong.

2/ Jimmy Lai, most high-profile pro-democracy media tycoon, has been critical of #HKGov & #CCP leadership. He was invited by @VP Mike Pence & @SecPompeo to share #HK situation. As press freedom isn't allowed under authoritarian regime of #Xijinping, he becomes the prime target.

@joshuawongcf
Crackdown on protest never stops even during the outbreak of #WuhanVirus. At least 12 prominent democrats and ex--/lawmaker have been arrested this morning: Martin Lee, Jimmy Lai, Albert Ho, Raphael Wong, @loktinau Au Nok Hin, Lee Cheuk Yan, Leung Kwok Hung, Jimmy Sham......
1744
@joshuawongcf
Over 30 #hkpolice today surrounded & arrested a #HKer when he tried to put a caricature of #Xijinping with #coronavirus head onto #lennonwall in #KwunTong #HK. Clearly, #hkpolice’s only duty is to carry out political censorship & save face for this authoritarian leader of #China.

1/ Even though the imprisonment meant a lot to me, I didn't shed tears or have any strong sense of fear when the judge announced my sentence. I viewed my imprisonment as the necessary step for the whole society to embrace the cruel fact that the city’s freedom is on shaky ground.

@joshuawongcf
2/ The days in prison also made me realize that the most fearful thing is not being put into jail but that ordinary life may one day look like a prison if none of our generations dares to stand up for our civil liberties.
