11. This incident is giving me a lot of hope in youth activism and transnational social engagement. Perhaps we can build a new kind of pan-Asian solidarity that opposes all forms of authoritarianism. ขอบคุณ!!! 💪💪💪

10. The Vietnamese people — having endured decades of racism, imperialism and geopolitical oppression from China — have likewise long been standing up for Hong Kong, even as the Vietnamese government is reluctant to say anything pro-democracy.

9. Of course the Thai youth supports Taiwan, the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage, just as progressives around the world should, my friend @jeffreychngo has argued. This is most important at a time when it faces exclusion by the WHO. dissentmagazine.org/article/island…

7. Angry Chinese nationalists think they can attack the Thai people by attacking the Thai regime. But the King of Thailand is especially unpopular: Rather than combating the Wuhan virus, he has been hiding in a German hotel with 20 women! nypost.com/2020/03/30/kin…

6. Over the past few days, Vachirawit Chiva-aree (Bright)'s girlfriend has been accused for advocating Taiwanese independence. Thai netizens came to their defense and also showed an overwhelming support for Hong Kong. I've been so moved.

4. It was one of my scariest experiences ever: foreign country, foreign language. I also thought of the infamous cross-border abduction of Gui Minhai — one of the five missing Causeway Bay booksellers — from Thailand to China in 2015. theguardian.com/world/2015/dec…

5. Someone else in the cell could use his phone, and alerted my friends by msging @demosisto's FB page. For a while I thought I might be imprisoned for years. Thankfully I was sent home. I'll never forget the activists who waited for me at the terminal, raising their umbrellas.

2. Four years ago, I went to Bangkok for speaking events at Chulalongkorn University and Thammasat University. But the Thai government blacklisted me at Beijing's request and detained me from Suvarnabhumi Airport for over 12 hours. hongkongfp.com/2016/10/06/jos…

1. Hong Kong stand with our freedom-loving friends in Thailand against Chinese bullying! #nnevvy

3. I had no access to my phone or a lawyer. Communication was difficult, and the authorities kept replying "no" to my questions. I distinctly remember one of them telling me: "You should know this is Thailand, just like China, not the same as Hong Kong."

Will #PresidentXi banned those games I played and promoted on Twitter? 😱

After banned #AnimalCrossing in China, perhaps now might be the time for Beijing consider to ban #McDonald or at least not allow McDonald sale Chicken McNuggets and french fries together lol...... #TankMan

From my live-streaming of the game just now with my friend William Liu. (He’s much better than I.) Feel free to rewatch it in full on @demosisto’s YouTube channel 👆

Alright, now they are flocking to #AnimalCrossing and promoting Chinese propaganda there to “challenge” me... Do they really not see the irony!? twitter.com/yinyangren21/s…

Now that they can't protest in the streets, people are doing it inside the hit social simulation game.
“For lots of people around the world who play this game, they have to put their ideal life into the game, and for HKers, we have to put our protest sites inside the game”

[HK Gamers Protested Inside ‘Animal Crossing.’ Now China Wants to Ban It.]
Joshua was among the first to show how this could be done, posting a screenshot of his island, which he decorated with a banner saying: “Free Hong Kong, revolution now.”

This is what we do in #AnimalCrossing... maybe it’s why these people are so anxious to go back to the game!!
