3/ Frankly speaking, I cannot imagine how far Beijing can go. They could arrest activists, throw us into jail; or they could send agents and mobs to intimidate and attack us and our families. Noting that they already did this long time ago. This trouble is not merely owned by me.

2/ ちなみに周庭さんも自身のYouTubeチャンネルで「チー牛」騒動に言及。黄さんについて「楽しんでいるというか、あまり気にしていないので、彼は日本で器が大きいと褒められました」と紹介している。

//If dozens of countries simultaneously upgraded their interaction with Taiwan, Chinese attempts to “punish” them all could instead leave Beijing isolated. Western governments could also push back against Chinese intimidation.//

Joshua who expects to be arrested soon is clear about how he sees the future unfolding. "The media will be muzzled, the independence of judiciary will be eroded, elections may be canceled and cameras will be installed on streets to impose surveillance."

[In every 700 #Hongkongers, one was arrested because of #HongKongProtests]
1. Since the outbreak of #HKprotests last year, 9672 #HKers have been arrested when they protested against injustice, with 2093 prosecuted.
1611
2. With arrestees from 11yo kid to 84yo elderly, #hkpolice is now staging the biggest political purge across generations in the city, especially at the time when #hkgov attempting to rewrite history, whitewash #policebrutality and censor textbooks.
1612
3. You may wonder what #HKers can still do under draconian #nationalsecuritylaw, arbitrary arrests, unchecked police violence that even targets pregnant women, and also the detentions of 12 asylum seekers in #China, with their fate still unknown for nearly 2 weeks.
1613
4. But when we see brave #Belarusian and #Thai people still fighting for hope and justice under the iron fist, #HKers' fight will go on.

This film is released today. But because Disney kowtows to Beijing, and because Liu Yifei openly and proudly endorses police brutality in Hong Kong, I urge everyone who believes in human rights to #BoycottMulan. twitter.com/cnni/status/11…
1615
Same goes for Donnie Yen, another outspoken admirer of the Hong Kong police. I, too, urge everyone who believes in racial justice to #BoycottMulan. twitter.com/HongKongHermit…

Liu isn't a victim somehow caught in the geopolitical crossfire. Neither is she an icon of feminism if she ignores the suffering of female protesters. She's instead an icon of authoritarianism willfully betraying the values Hollywood purports to champion. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

[Trapped in the black hole -
After two-week detention in #China, still no update abt 12 HK #AsylumSeekers]
1. Only thing we know is they are all taken to detention centre in #Shenzhen & Chinese cops will decide whether to arrest them formally by Oct 1, according to #China’s law
1618
2. But even after the arrest, there's still a huge question mark on when they will be prosecuted, put on trial and how long trial will last. Prosecution can be further delayed if Chinese prosecutors claim they need “supplementary investigation”. It will be like an endless tunnel.
1619
3. Under #China's law, suspects can be released on bail. But in reality, especially when all the #asylumseekers may face further charges under #China's #nationalsecuritylaw and other criminal laws, the chance of bail is slim.
1620
5. Up to now, #Hkgov & #hkpolice downplay the whole incident. It casts further shadows over #nationalsecuritylaw as #HKgov will offer nearly no help when #Hongkongers and foreigners are extradited to #China and face inhuman and unfair treatment in secret trials and dark prisons.
1621
4. If leaving aside all other national security charges and just solely considering the charge of "crossing national border without immigration procedures", the 12 #asylumseekers may face a maximum penalty of one year in #China's prison.
1622
6. In order to bring those #asylumseekers back and safe, we hope the world can keep a close watch on the issue. #save12hkyouth #save12hkyouths

1/ The situation of Hong Kong is closely connected to a greater context -- the rivalry between China and the US, the growing tension between China and Europe.

A good oped worth reading.
"I’m an HK doctor – police crackdown on protesters has turned even hospitals into war zones. I've been labeled a ‘riot medic’ for attending to injured HKers, & police have intimidated colleagues who volunteered as first aiders."
