8/ China emitted over 12 gigatonnes (Gt) CO2eq of greenhouse gases and makes up almost 30% of the world total. And in 2018-2019, the emissions shows an increasing trend, contrary to the promise China made in the Copenhagen Accord and Paris Agreement.

@joshuawongcf
9/ However, when China were asked publicly about this, its response is simply “China is a developing countries and it is in desperate needs of economic development”. This clearly shows China does not take the pledge it made in the global arena as promises it has to fulfil.

6/ Climate Change and the fight for democracy in HK share some similarities. Both of them cannot be resolved simply by the handwork of one place, and China has to be held responsible for both issues, and China’s response to them appears to be similar as well.

@joshuawongcf
7/ Greenhouse gas emissions by China are the largest in the world. It is found by scientific research that global warming cannot be kept below 2 °C unless the emission of greenhouse gas in China falls sharply.

@joshuawongcf
5/ These figures hope to encourage more people to do the same to really address the issues. It is not up to a few people to resolve problems that requires collective effort.

@joshuawongcf
4/ Some people are respectable because they indeed did something great and conquered the limitations of humanity— being selfless, leading an Europe-wide climate change campaign, sacrificing their future and even their lived for the sake of fundamental human rights.

2/ I applaud for her statement “We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow.” There is a future where Greta and I will live long enough to see, and we are responsible to shape it into a desirable one.

3/ When world cheer & appalled for youth standing up against threats of climate change or dictatorship, we actually all play a role in the fights. No man is an island. We 're all living here today, and we will be living here tmr as well. It's not only up to the youngsters.

@joshuawongcf
[Climate change & HK - China is reacting similarly to both]
1/ @GretaThunberg was named #TIMEPOY by the @TIME. She's a Swedish Schoolgirl that inspired #FridaysForFuture against climate change. She's regarded as the figure of the power of youth, and inspired many, including me.

11/ President Xi Jinping proclaimed that HK movement would end in "crushed bodies and shattered bones". CCP urged legislation of national security laws. It's worth noting that Beijing tries to frame the movement as "terrorism", the same thing that they do to Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
2161
@joshuawongcf
12/ Therefore, it is expected the similar model of repression will take part in Hong Kong. There is no exaggeration to say "Xinjiang today, Hong Kong tomorrow."

@joshuawongcf
10/ Italian foreign minister Luigi Di Maio has criticised china which is insightful. I hope the Italian foreign minister can support our democratic aspirations in Hong Kong, as democracy is the only way to de-escalate the situation and maintain prosperity and stability in HK.

@joshuawongcf
8/ Hong Kong police have imported 129 Daily HI-MATIC model patrol cars from Italian manufacturer Iveco in 2017. As countless news reports show, patrol cars were used to crash to Hong Kong protesters. I urged the Italian government to stop selling patrol cars to Hong Kong.
2164
@joshuawongcf
9/ I also called on the Italian government and parliament to support our cause for democracy in Hong Kong, since that is the only way to secure our autonomy and protect Italian business interest in Hong Kong.
2165
@joshuawongcf
7/ In fact, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines that have taken part in China's BRI are considering pulling out those large projects, due to the political concerns about the growing reliance on Chinese investments.
2166
@joshuawongcf
6/ Beijing is now pushing its companies to grab markets overseas. Italian firms have to face direct competition from Chinese companies & may be easily squeezed out, not to mention China's poor record of stealing strategic technology through the practice of forced tech transfers.
2167
@joshuawongcf
4/ Italy joined the belt and road project, signing a memorandum with China cause concrete risk for Italy to fall completely under chinese influence. It's a perfect example that China will use it's as the economic leverage to export its authoritarian value and censorship to Italy.
2168
@joshuawongcf
3/ As latest polls, over 80% of the city population support democracy. Even the ex-head of legislature Jasper Tsang supports the need for political reform. The landslide victory of election is another proof. I urge Beijing to honour its promise of true and fair democracy in HK.
2169
@joshuawongcf
5/ Any comments that were unfavourable to China-imposed red line will fall prey to China's hegemony. That will be a dire threat to the freedom of speech of Italian people. Also, overdependence on Chinese investments in infrastructure comes with tremendous political risks.
2170
@joshuawongcf
🇮🇹 1/ The Chinese government has been quite critical of my speech at the Italian parliament, calling the Italian government "irresponsible". I think China's criticism is completely out of reason and shows no respect to the basic freedoms of people from other democracies.
2171
@joshuawongcf
2/ It is clear that China is its authoritarian regime and political censorship to Italy. The Beijing authority is utterly ignorant of the will of Hong Kong people and deliberately distort the demands of over millions of people.

//Phrases such as “No blue ribbons” or “No yellow ribbons” are common on profiles. It is not uncommon to see protest slogans such as: “Add oil, Hongkongers.” Some even post photos of themselves at protests.//

Congratulations, @GretaThunberg. You inspire me and many people across the world, especially when you says, "We can’t just continue living as if there was no tmr, because there is a tmr.” Let’s fight together to save our home, our planet, and our future. #TIMEPOY

家畜の安寧 虚偽の繁栄
死せる餓狼の自由を！
囚われた屈辱は 反撃の嚆矢だ
城壁のその彼方 獲物を屠るイェーガー
迸る衝動に その身を灼きながら
黄昏に緋を穿つ 紅蓮の弓矢
