14/ It's of vital importance that we acknowledge coronavirus is not an excuse for xenophobia & definitely not a substantial excuse to attack anyone. The most frightening part of current epidemic is not virus itself, but the fear & hatred that is caused by false rumours & biases.

As the Coronavirus became a worldwide health emergency, it frightens almost everyone in the world.
1/ The disease itself is terrifying, but what is more terrifying is the panic caused by misinformation, false rumours and bias.

5/ I think it is time for #CCP to wake up from its dream and face the damages they have done to the civil society and democratic aspirations on its territory.

4/ Just hours ago, Dr. #LiWenliang, one of the 8 disciplined whistleblowers died. When truth-tellers are accused of “spreading rumours and severely disturbing social order”, this authoritarian regime is doomed to fail.

3/ Under the surface, we see the powerlessness of power. Burnished by the personality cult, this rigid regime rules the people with fear and distrust. #Beijing's iron-fist control on citizenry also makes it unresponsive to social grievance.

[The outbreak has been more than just #WuhanVirus spread]
1/ By covering up the severity of pandemic with force & fear, #China has turned whole crisis into the Chernobyl disaster of the 21st century. China's still clamping down on #coronavirus coverage as cases surge day by day.

"We call upon ICAO to reverse its practice of blocking discussion of #Taiwan on Twitter & make clear publicly its understanding that freedom of expression must always supersede political insecurities of member states"
@icao, did you read this yet?

Support the strike! This is the only last-ditch leverage medical professionals have before our healthcare system collapses. The government is clearly incapable of protecting Hong Kongers as they put politics before our wellbeing. twitter.com/business/statu…

Long lines across #HongKong due to a severe mask shortage. We are terrified as the coronavirus spreads. But the Carrie Lam administration withholds its stockpile from the public and still refuses to close the border. Have they learned anything since 2003? #有沒有口罩一個給我 😷😷 t.co/f9yZJtkYhL

When China’s leaders finally declare victory against the current outbreak, they will undoubtedly credit the CCP’s leadership. But the truth is just the opposite: The party is again responsible for this calamity.

Again, @icao proved how Beijing continue to put pressure and bully international organizations by its authoritarian value and sharp power. Aviation security should not be hijacked by those Beijing loyalists.
