1/ To bring universal suffrage back in the agenda of Chinese & HKGov, full democratization of its government and legislature should be explicitly featured as an important condition for future annual certifications.

In this worldwide battle against #CoronavirusPandemic originated from #China. we can fight together & overcome this war.
1/ For #HKers, we have learnt a bitter lesson during 2003 SARS outbreak with 299 deaths. Ppl know that the Chinese government often cover up the outbreak.
306
@joshuawongcf
3/ While HK leader #CarrieLam acts against medical experts’ advice & asks ppl not to wear masks, we simply disregard unscientific restrictions & secure mask supplies by ourselves. We even call for border seal with China to stop spread of #WuhanCoronavirus originated from #China.

@joshuawongcf
2/ Learnt from our experiences, #Hongkongers share some secret remedies to combat the virus - wearing masks, staying at home, travelling less and being critical about the government’s words.

@joshuawongcf
6/ Some may think that improper use of masks will increase the risk of infection. Although I agree on it completely, the argument rather misses the point that - The problem is HOW we wear masks, but not WHETHER we should wear masks!!!

@joshuawongcf
5/ As #COVID19 is transmitted through droplets, & surgical masks have been proved effective against droplet transmission, wear masks is the best way to keep away from virus, especially when it's commonly found that ppl cough in fully enclosed mass transportation & crowded areas.

@joshuawongcf
4/ When China is hardest-hit by the #COVID19, we are literally next door to the virus. However, with our secret remedies, Hongkongers still manage to keep our virus numbers low. It proves our remedies somehow work.
311
@joshuawongcf
7/ After all, with more experience sharing, we will overcome the outbreak. It is time for us to fight the Great #Coronavirus War, and it is time to get our masks ready.

[Write in #HongKonger on #2020Census]
An estimate of 200,000 Hong Kong people lived in the US but no HKer was recorded on the last census report. Census is a headcount of a group of people and a form of record-keeping every ten years.

We are asking people who identify as Hongkongers to check the ‘OTHER ASIAN’ box and write in ‘HONGKONGER’ if they come from Hong Kong, their family came from Hong Kong, or otherwise have Hong Kong heritage.

The decision by Beijing to expel US citizens working for @nytimes, @washingtonpost & @WSJ from China and even Hong Kong is a flagrant assault on press freedom. It deals a blow to the international media community, but also to Hong Kong's already disappearing freedom.

4/ Not to mention that PAP was used to suppress uprisings in Xinjiang and Tibet. When it is expected protests will resume ahead of local legislative elections in September, it is doubtless that #Beijing will take a strong-arm policy this time.
317
@joshuawongcf
5/ I hope the world can keep watch on the situation in HK. I also call on US @StateDept to list out effective human rights sanction mechanisms in the forthcoming report on HK, as a way to send a warning signal to #China to stem further infringement of autonomy & human rights.

It's far too simplistic to say, as some have, that Asians are more likely to comply with government orders. In Hong Kong, public trust in the government is low - and there have been months of anti-government protests.

But, in one of the densest cities in the world, many have voluntarily socially distanced themselves - with some even avoiding Lunar New Year gatherings, the equivalent of skipping Christmas events. bbc.com/news/world-asi…

Shot blind when covering #HKProtests, Indonesian journalist Veby Mega Indah now sue Police. But they refused to provide any info, after previously rejecting investigation into #policebrutrality. She needs your help to identify the police in this picture, & may justice be served.

HKGov has earmarked HK$226.6 million for managing its foreign public relations, but I have questioned whether the increased budget would be effective in rebuilding the city’s international image without other practical measures in place.

Joshua Wong questioned the effectiveness of the spending: “I have 514,429 followers on Twitter, while @Brand_HK Kong only has 4,500. I don’t really know where they have spent their money,” he said.
