More update on the #HKSHA and other Hong Kong-related bills in the US Congress. Please continue to support our cause as well as the work of @hkdc_us, which has been doing instrumental work on this front. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

[Support our Thai fellows in their fight for democracy] 1. #Hongkongers will never forget how our Thai fellows stood with us against #China’s nationalist trolls during #nnevvy saga and spoke up for us amid #Beijing’s authoritarian suppression in #HK. #MilkTeaAlliance
1155
2. Now, this is time for us to support them back since we are both fighting for democracy, liberty and a bright future without fear. People's voices should be respected and heard, but not suppressed and silenced.
1156
3. That is the shared destiny for youths worldwide amid democratic backlashes - We want our democracy back. We want our future back. #respectdemocracyThai #เยาวชนปลดแอก #ให้มันจบที่รุ่นเรา

With the mandate of over 31,000 votes cast in the pro-democracy camp's primaries last weekend, I've just officially filed for my candidacy to stand in September's Legislative Council election, representing the Kowloon East geographical constituency. Thank you for all the support!

【JOSHUA WONG RUNS FOR LEGCO ELECTION AMID NATIONAL SECURITY LAW】 1. A week ago, over 610,000 Hong Kongers went to ballot boxes to affirm our resolve to defend freedom despite Beijing’s tightening control and police disturbances. Our votes are our voice under China's crackdown.
1159
5. The Hong Kong Government has already set the stage for political screening in the election, instead of maintaining a ''free and fair election''. Among the hundred excuses to disqualify my candidacy, my name, Joshua Wong is and will always be the only reason.
1160
6. I haven't got any clue my whereabouts three months later, but rest assured that our determination will become a strong message to the world that Hong Kong people shall never surrender despite the National Security Law.

[Financial censorship amid unfree speech] 1. More than just crackdowns on dissidents, #nationalsecuritylaw has repercussions on this global financial city, as global banks now screen clients’ accounts, public speeches, interviews and online posts. reut.rs/2OCACAf
1162
3. Absolutely unimaginable how far this financial censorship will go, esp under vaguely defined law, #Beijng’s tightening red lines and its thriving wolf-warrior diplomatic ambitions. One thing is sure - Beijing clamps down on dissidents in #China by controlling their accounts.
1163
4. When having “conscience” stickers, holding blank placards & voting in #hkprimaries are framed as inciting subversion, a large-scale crackdown on pro-democracy protesters' finances is on the way, this time including ex-pats & international institutions that the new law covers.

2. According to telegram bot developed by #Hkprotesters that crowdsources information about unknown cars owned by #hkpolice or unknown Chinese holders, the cars’ numbers are all classified as “dangerous cars”.
1166
[Under #nationalsecuritylaw, I was tailed by 4 unknown cars in 30 min today] 1. After #NSL became effective, stalking that targets me has intensified. Solely today I was tailed by at least 4 unknown cars/motorbikes in 30min drive. Even my Uber driver could tell we were stalked
1167
3. Governments are creating fear by unlawful stalking and onlooking that is ubiquitous in #China. In the past, businessmen like Xiao Jianhua and booksellers like Lee Bo were even kidnapped by Chinese agents in #HK and brought to China’s courts.
1168
4. When #Beijing tightens its grip in #HK, this reign of terror will only become more prevalent. At this moment, I have no idea what will happen to me in the future.
1169
5. However, fear will not scare me and all freedom-loving #Hongkongers off. We will continue our fight and let our next generations live in freedoms without fear.

It's not exactly the wisest thing to characterize as China's "domestic policies" the National Security Law against Hong Kongers and concentration camps against Uyghurs. @NBA has been complicit for too long on these issues, and @mcuban's comments today are disappointing. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

[#Nationsecuritylaw changes business-political nexus] 1. Excellent story by @TheEconomist with insights on how #NSL imperils #HK’s business environment, impartiality and gov role, while #Beijing claims the law will not affect business confidence. economist.com/china/2020/07/…
1173
It’s my pleasure to speak with @jonsnowC4. Indeed, under #nationalsecuritylaw, continuing to fight for freedoms in #Hongkong is always risking our life by #Beijing, but that is the duty of our generation to carry on the cause. twitter.com/jonsnowC4/stat…
