I've explained countless times to what extent is democratic self-determination different from independence. So reading a title like this can be really confusing. Alright, let's be clear: I've never advocated independence at all. thetimes.co.uk/article/joshua…

1/ In the new year, #Beijing and #HKgov choose not to answer #Hongkongers’ demands. Instead, they plan to escalate #policebrutality against HKers by arming #hkpolice with new electroshock weapons like stun guns and net guns. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

4/ Keeping silent will only make China apply the same censorship model overseas. The world must speak up to stop further deterioration of human rights and freedoms.

3/ Bit by bit, #Beijing tightens its red line on #Hongkong, isolates this international city from the world, and puts #onecountrytwosystems in peril. The case is the best indicator of #Beijing ’s authoritarian expansion and weakening human rights situation in #China.

2/ That is how #China’s global censorship regime works. First UK activist @benedictrogers, followed by reporters like @VJMallet and academics like @DanGarrett97, and now even US human rights advocates @KenRoth were denied entry.

Joshua Wong said that @iingwen victory was a "precious moment" for people of HK. "Today is the day for the majority of Taiwanese to choose their fate, to safeguard their democracy & freedoms, and most importantly, to say no to CCP's authoritarian invasion" nyti.ms/387Buoj

4/ Tonight is also the precious moment for #Hongkongers. #HongKongProtests have shown China’s intolerance to dissidence an d freedoms, and #Taiwaneses have defended their lovely island with their votes.

3/ Today is the day for the majority of #Taiwaneses to choose their fate, to safeguard their democracy and freedoms, and most importantly, to say no to #CCP's authoritarian invasion. People of #Taiwan also show the world their defiance of #Beijing’s lie of #onecountrytwosystems.

I hope our Taiwan friends really go for it, and with their votes show the Taiwan people’s determination to refuse to bow and scrape before Beijing. This is the greatest support you can give HK. I wish Taiwan the best of luck as the countdown to Election Day nears its end!

As the one who has been barred from leaving HK during an ongoing court case, I appealed to youths of Taiwan to protect Taiwan’s democracy. #Taiwan2020

We need to fight against climate change as we don’t want our home being on fire again. #PrayForAustralia

Heartbreaking scenes show that #AustraliaOnFire has turned this lovely country into inferno. It perfectly shows that the climate hazard for one country is the climate hazard for all the nations on earth. That is our war, not only for Australians but every one of us.

Beijing is putting more pressure on hk courts when NPCSC openly slammed court’s ruling on anti-mask law as unconstitutional. CCP stated to “strengthen law & enforcement mechanisms to safeguard national interests” All are alarming & we should stay alert to Chinese interference.
2099
McLachlin’s view appears too optimistic to me as we see NPCSC’s power of interpreting Basic Law remains as the Sword of Damocles on judicial independence.
