3/ Apart from expressing concerns over HK, I call the Australian government to embed human rights clauses in its free trade agreement with HK, serving as the economic leverage to protect human rights, basic freedoms and autonomy in the city.

1/ As a leading nation in Asia-Pacific region, I urge the Australian gov takes an active role in safeguarding human rights in the region. "HK today, Australia tmr" is at our doorstep. Valuing trade interest above human rights only makes Australia fall prey to China's control.

🇮🇹 My OP-ED in @repubblica - Pechino strangola la mia città. Di Maio non può far finta di niente - Joshua Wong, 23 anni, è uno dei leader del movimento pro-democrazia di Hong Kong. Era in piazza anche nel 2014 durante la cosiddetta rivolta degli ombrelli. rep.repubblica.it/pwa/commento/2…

Please support @hkdc_us - The Voice for Hong Kong in DC and the US. It is the first professional organization on Capitol Hill dedicated to US support and defense of human rights and democracy in Hong Kong and the only group led by HKers living in the US.

🏳️🌈Ray Chan @ray_slowbeat, a pro-democracy lawmaker who is gay, celebrated the victory of Jimmy Sham, who is also gay, on a day that several Pro-Beijing politicians who had opposed same-sex marriage & made homophobic comments had lost their council races.

Judy Chan was once a rising star in the New People’s Party (which fielded 28 contenders & lost 28 races). She was Regina Ip’s designated successor. Last year she lost the Hong Kong Island LegCo by-election to @chowtingagnes’s backup candidate; this year she lost to mine. Goodbye! twitter.com/C_8964/status/…

Almost 3 million people voted. The opposition is winning 388 seats vs. 59 for the gov't (w/ a few more counting). Every way you look at it, this is historic. As our city plummets from being semi-autonomous to semi-authoritarian, we react by showing what’s DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.

This is historic. Early returns suggest a landslide victory for the opposition camp. Hong Kongers have spoken out, loud and clear. The international community must acknowledge that, almost six months in, public opinion has NOT turned against the movement. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

I’m extremely delighted to announce that, despite my disqualification by Beijing, my backup candidate Kelvin Lam has won in South Horizons West with 57% of the vote. The incumbent, Judy Chan, is a protégé Regina Ip who supports police violence and calls protesters “cockroaches”.

Already broke the record by now in terms of voter turnout %. But will we be able to witness a 3 MILLION vote count in the end? (That will require 72.59%.) Please ask all your friends and family to cast their ballots if they haven’t already done so. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

Amazing. 1.28 million people have now voted, just after noon. In the last District Council election four years ago, this number was not reached until 9:30 in the evening. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

@joshuawongcf
The number of Hong Kongers who voted just passed ONE MILLION, from the first four hours. 香港加油!! twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…
