Great new cover. After the national-security law in #HongKong, Beijing's next target is #Taiwan (although much stronger than the tiny dot suggests). With the global community turning its attention to us, I urge everyone to not forget about the beautiful, democratic island. twitter.com/TheEconomist/s…

"One Country, Two Systems" has always been a lie, little more than "One China" in disguise. Now Asian geopolitics is reshaping right in front of our eyes. As a bastion of freedom, Taiwan deserves the world's support to emerge as a regional power. The age of isolation is over.

Lately the solidarity with Hong Kongers that @iingwen, @MOFA_Taiwan and our Taiwanese friends have shown has been nothing short of heartwarming. Thank you!

Indeed the support for #HongKong in Washington is bipartisan. Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for joining other Democrats like @RepMcGovern and @SenJeffMerkley to speak up for us since @SecPompeo's latest report. I look forward to more strong responses from the administration. twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/…

All eyes on the president tomorrow. Let's see what happens. I very much hope the administration will strike the right balance between exerting economic pressure on China and defending Hong Kongers' rights. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

For decades, HK has facilitated the influx of global capital and otherwise unavailable goods (high-tech products) into China. Leaders in Beijing continue to reap the benefits of this arrangement while our freedoms deteriorate. They can’t have it both ways.

Hong Kong is the front line of a new cold war. If it burns, the world gets burned too. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

2/ “In the future, I might not be jailed in Hong Kong anymore, I might be jailed in China, in Beijing and that is the tremendous threat we might need to face.” It also calls into question the status of HK as a free port and economy for the free flow of capital." Joshua argued.

1/ “We all know that the national security law is not about security of China, it’s just about enhancing, embracing the Communist regime in China. It could be arbitrarily enforced and that the prosecution of those who breach it may not take place in HK."

3/ “Time is running out in Hong Kong ... (that is almost turning from) ‘one country, two systems’ to ‘one country, one system’ and (this) seems to be the beginning of the end,” said Wong, referring to the principle which China uses to govern Hong Kong.

4/ Joshua said that the breaches the premise of the Sino-British Joint declaration, a bilateral agreement that was registered at the United Nations. It was signed to guarantee HK’s autonomy for 50 years after the former British colony’s sovereignty was transferred to China.

According to HKGov, they claimed that 0.01% of HKers might be affected by the evil law. However, even only 0.01% are targeted, it still implies 750 HKers might be arrested by secret police and prosecuted in Mainland China. That's the chilling effect. edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2…

[Germany & EU members need to take stronger actions to ward off the evil law]
1/ Thank @HeikoMaas for standing with HK & protecting the city’s liberties & business interest.

8/ Once #secretpolice agency is imposed, & once the ill-defined law is enforced, it will only spark more public outcry. To protect HK prosperity that all European companies now enjoy, Germany as influential leaders in EU, needs to take actions instead of only expressing concerns.

1/ Mark Zuckerberg said that he hopes Facebook will "find a way" to keep offering its services in HK after @SecPompeo declared that HK was "no longer autonomous" from China. It implied the risk of great firewall adopts from Mainland China to HK.

2/ In fact, #nationalsecuritylaw will affect all netizens since #China has a long history of regarding critical voices on social media as a threat to its national security. It has imposed the most restrictive cybersecurity rules & clamped down on the flow of information in China.
744
4/ This is a matter of time when China extends its Great Firewall and censorship apparatus to HK, and censors social media platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter. It harms not only freedom of speech, but also free flow of information & all business interests relying on it.
745
3/ Under the new law, the #secretpolice agency is just the first step for more China’s direct control. As Section 4 of the law reads “Central government can base on needs to set up institutions in HK to uphold #nationalsecurity.”

“China has replaced its promised formula of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ with ‘One Country, One System.’” This is not only the perspective of HKers, which is also a general understanding of the global community.
