2/ As our former prime minister Winston Churchill said in 1942, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” We would like to make a plea to our old friends in the UK once again.

3/ Now is the time for us to work closely in this perennial struggle. Free-election is the only way out. I just remember the quote from Lord Alton “If great cities like London or NY can have directly elected mayors then why can't HK?"

1/ The Hong Kong protest movement won the elections battle – but the war over our five demands is still ongoing
As encouraging as the victory was, we have a long way to go before we can turn our attention away from the central cause.

Thx @trudyrubin. "Whatever their future, determination of HK’s citizens to fight for rule of law should inspire Americans to defend their own rule of law against WH challenges. If Wong retains his optimism, democrats in US have no excuse to cave."

Even the #HKHRDA is signed and we enjoy the victory on the district council election, it’s still not time for celebration. More than 5000 HKers was arrested sand almost hundred of them were already locked up in prison. Stop police brutality and free-election is the only way out.

5/ That is also the key element to maintain the autonomy and freedoms under 1country2systems, as well as the indispensable measure to safeguard foreign interests in HK. I call on the Italian Parliament to take action to pass the resolution to support democratic aspirations in HK.
2188
@joshuawongcf
3/ It's also completely irresponsible & unacceptable for Beijing to distort the will of HKers. According to the latest poll, over 80% of the city's population supports free-election. Landslide victory of HK's district council election demonstrates our determination for democracy.

@joshuawongcf
4/ There is no way for Beijing to turn deaf ear to our demands. I hope the Italian government and society can stand with HK in our fight for freedoms. The incident also shows that democracy is the best solution to enhance HK’s autonomy and defend against China’s interference.
2190
@joshuawongcf
2/ It's time for Italian politicians to take precautions as China’s threat is now in your backyard. I call on to stand together & take actions to defend against authoritarian expansions. We should not stay silent, or China will just step up their offensives all over the world.
2191
@joshuawongcf
🇮🇹 1/ Beijing's statement on my participation at the Italy Parliament is a reckless and unreasonable threat to freedom of speech. It reveals China’s ambition to export its authoritarian regime and censorship to Italy and other western democracies worldwide.

After the US President signed on #HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct, it’s time for celebration and take a short break with #PokemonSwordandShield.

4/ I make this urgent appeal to HK Gov't: For the good of HK, Police need to retreat from PolyU Now! Set our trapped protestors free & let them go home safely. All we ask for humbly is free-election. Turn to political resolutions & set up independent Inquiry on Police brutality.

@joshuawongcf
3/ The bill signifies fundamental change of US's China policy and a new stage of the US-HK relation. Moving on, @demosisto, @hkdc_us, @nathanlawkc, @jeffreychngo and I will continue our efforts in other countries to encourage similar legislative efforts and sanctions mechanism.

@joshuawongcf
5/ Besides, democracy is the only way to guarantee HK's autonomy and stability. Otherwise, the government and legislature will only prey to China's manipulation under the rule of Beijing-handpicked Chief Executive.
2198
@joshuawongcf
6/ Therefore, I call on the Australia Government for pushing HK & Beijing to achieve universal suffrage for chief executive poll and Legislative Council election in Hong Kong.
2199
@joshuawongcf
4/ Such human rights and autonomy clauses can also secure Australian investors' interest in Hong Kong free from China's threat. Australian parliament can also pass its Magnisky Act legislation to serve as an efficient sanction regime to provide minimum human rights protection.
2200
@joshuawongcf
2/ Kowtowing to China's authoritarian rule & keeping silent on HK's human rights matters are just appeasement policy in 21st century. As recent reports on Chinese defector William Wang suggest, Beijing is exporting its covert operations & political infiltration in HK & Australia.
