5/ Today’s rally is the prelude to a larger scale of protest before the announcement of evil law. It's time for HKers to fight back & safeguard HK. I call upon the world to #StandwithHK & oppose #nationalsecuritylaw which poses a threat to all ex-pats & travellers in global city.

지난 한국에서의 독재정권이 그래왔듯이 중국 정부는 ‘홍콩 국가보안법’을 제정하여 민주화 인사들과 청년들을 간첩 혹은 국가 전복자들이라는 명목으로 체포하여 우리의......

...... 자유를 탄압하려고 합니다.
‘홍콩 국가보안법’은 앞으로 역사에 독재의 수법이자 악법으로 기록될 것입니다.
故김대중 대통령은 ‘행동하는 양심’이라고 하셨습니다. 홍콩인들의 행동하는 양심에 지지와 관심을 보내주세요!

[@joshuawongcf & @KwongGlacier in @washingtonpost: This is the final nail in the coffin for HK’s autonomy]
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
1/ Beijing has just hammered the final nail in the coffin for Hong Kong’s autonomy. The promise of “one country, two systems” is dead.
683
@joshuawongcf
15/ China has to offer and sacrifice respect for human rights. The economic recession brought by the virus ought not to be resolved through succumbing to China’s encroaching authoritarianism; trade happens on equal and fair terms but not threatening and bullying.
684
@joshuawongcf
16/ We urge the U.S. government to execute the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, impose sanctions on China and include human rights terms in relation to Hong Kong into trade treaties they are about to conclude with China. We ask you, once again, to stand with Hong Kong.

Please read this thread on the recent arrests of Tobias Leung and Isaac Cheng from Demosisto. As for our masks, which the customs agency have now seized: We've been shipping them to various American lawmakers for distribution in their home states to combat COVID-19. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

[EU should take actions before China scraps its promise]
1/ By unilaterally imposing an ill-defined #nationalsecuritylaw and a #secret-police agency, China is clearly scraping its promise of Joint Declaration and rewriting rules.
689
@joshuawongcf
690
@joshuawongcf
3/ The new law will definitely create massive political & legal uncertainties in this global city that affect civil society & foreign business. The loosely defined “foreign forces” will also put all ex-pats & travellers at risk amid the rise of China’s #wolfwarrior diplomacy.
691
@joshuawongcf
4/ The treaty violation will carry implications to other agreements with China since EU is the prime investment destination for Belt & Road Initiative + biggest trading partner of China. It will set a bad precedent, especially when China faces the worst economic slowdown.
692
@joshuawongcf
5/ Therefore, EU should have more robust strategy to encounter China’s authoritarian threat to freedoms and autonomy worldwide, including HK. Democratic values & civil liberties lay foundations to all western democracies, & these are also the values that #HKProtesters strive for.
693
@joshuawongcf
6/ On Fri’s meeting, I call upon the #EU foreign ministers to have a firmer stance on the issue & to urge China to halt #nationalsecuritylegislation. I urge the #EU to impose all necessary sanctions if China insists on breaking an UN-filed treaty & finally passes this evil bill.
694
@joshuawongcf
695
@joshuawongcf
2/ When #Beijing insists on ignoring international responses and breaching international norms and rules, it is time for China to face the grave consequences and international backlashes for its irresponsible act of scraping an UN-filed Joint Declaration.
696
@joshuawongcf
3/ In fact, the world has already expressed concern over the evil & ill-defined #nationasecuritylaw that will kill democratisation in #HK and harm global business interest in HK. But China keeps dismissing all doubts from world leaders, business sectors and even bar associations.
697
@joshuawongcf
4/ This law is even eviler than the extradition bill in 2019. China’s poor human rights records have already proved that it will undeniably use the law to crush HK’s civil society and dissents.
698
@joshuawongcf
5/ For a long time, HK has been treated by Beijing as a white glove port for importing sensitive strategic commodities. Once the law is implemented, a #secretpolice agency and a #CCP-led China’s court will be imposed upon this global business centre.
699
@joshuawongcf
9/ The sanctions should not only be restricted to personal sanctions like travel bans and asset freezes (since China won’t really realize the severity), but also partial sanctions on pro-#CCP companies and dual-use technology.
700
@joshuawongcf
6/ In worse scenario, HK will fall into Beijing’s direct rule, and de facto becomes another city of China. Hence, all special treatments granted to HK need to be subject to reconsideration. In fact, countries start to realize the changing role of HK in China’s global strategy.
