4. The nomination also sends a worrying sign as #HK scholars and students will gradually face more political pressure when studying and researching in #Hongkong, especially for studies that are regarded as sensitive or too critical on the situation in #Hongkong and #China.

3. It casts more concerns on the city’s academic freedoms and #freespeech when #CCP members are now nominated to head #Hongkong’s university directly, let alone the chilling effects of the sweeping #NationalSecurityLaw.

[#CCP members nominated to head #HK's university]
1. According to @StandNewsHK, two #Chinese scholars (at least of them is #CCP member) are nominated as the vice presidents of #HKU, months after the university sacked the co-founder of #UmbrellaMovement #BennyTai.

Clearly, this self-censorship is not something that the club's fans or other soccer lovers should tolerate. #IStandWithOzil on #MesutOzil's fight against inhumanity and injustice. We also urge the club to reconsider the decision. #JusticeForOzil #M1Ö twitter.com/MesutOzil1088/…

3. I always remember #ArseneWenger's parting words before his retirement - "Take care of the values of the club." Unfortunately, reality appears to be the opposite.

[No one should be left out of the team for his words for justice]
1. I am deeply disappointed by @Arsenal's decision to take @MesutOzil1088 out of #PremierLeague squad, just because he has spoken out for #Uyghurs now detained in hundreds of internment camps in #Xinjiang.

7/ More recently, the hashtag has been aligned with news of satellite evidence showing that Chinese dams withheld water from the lower Mekong region during a damaging drought in downstream countries, raising alarm in Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam.

6/ The alliance represented not only widespread anger over China’s stance on Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet, but also wider regional issues linked to growing Chinese influence and expansion through its Belt and Road initiative and infrastructure development, he added.

5/ “Milk Tea Alliance is more about how netizens and key opinion leaders on social media can take a leadership role and generate pressure against the momentum of Beijing’s propaganda machine,” he said.

4/ Joshua described the spontaneous online movement in an interview as a “paradigm shift” of solidarity in Southeast Asia against China’s “authoritarian ideology” that dovetailed with existing cross-border networks of pro-democracy activists.

@joshuawongcf
3/ I added my voice to the throng, posting a meme of three figures clinking glasses of milk tea and calling for pan-Asian solidarity “to fend off all forms of authoritarianism from China.” (Interview from @niccijsmith @Telegraph)

@joshuawongcf
2/ I believed #MilkTeaAlliance could create a “pan-Asia” grassroots movement that would draw more attention to social causes in Asia. “Be it Belarus, Thailand, or other places where injustice is happening, we are constantly fighting for the same beliefs."

One of the boats is dedicated to Wong Wai Jin, one of the detainees, who wrote a letter asking his parents' forgiveness for his sudden departure. In order not to scare them, Wong didn't even have chances to wave farewell.

I drew attention to protesters in Bangkok over the after they unified to part & create a path for an ambulance. A similar moment occurred in HK during the tumultuous protests in June 2019.

It's just completely insane for #Thaipolice to investigate four media outlets in #Thailand over covering #ThaiProtests, and also to censor #FreeYOUTH's social media account.
The people's will should be respected, instead of repressed. This kind of censorship must be stopped.
