5/ Over the past year, we have endeavored to safeguard the values of Hong Kong people and prevent our home from turning into another Xinjiang. We have constructed barricades against this descent, not only in the streets and the establishment but also in the community...

6/ ...in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and on the education front. Time and again, the creativity and cohesion of our fellow protesters have surprised the world. To succumb to authoritarianism docilely is not an option. We shall not surrender.
1704
After all, it is the authoritarian rulers that turn the whole civil society into enemies, lies into truths, critical voices into dissents and taboos, and ordinary citizens into modern martyrs. letter.wiki/conversation/8…

Once the people have made up their minds and safeguard the city's last light of hope, democracy and justice is the only way out. Just like the democratization history in places like South Korea and Taiwan, the regime's reign of fear cannot kill the people's freedom-seeking soul.

Hey Wumao trolls: Don't forget to toe the government's line! Your latest correct position is…… to join us and #BoycottMulan 😂😂
Quick recap of why:
• It was filmed in XJ
• Liu Yifei backs the HK police
• Donnie Yen wears a blackface
• US$30 for a bad remake

Oops. Looks like #Mulan is no longer searchable on Weibo. This should be a lesson for Disney: You can pour US$200 million into a project, hire pro-government actors, deny concentration camps' existence, pander to Chinese nationalism — and STILL get screwed big time.

Despite sanctions, Israeli firm Cellebrite sold phone-hacking tech to Venezuela haaretz.com/israel-news/te… Nicolás Maduro's regime says it bought tech from Cellebrite that creates devices to extract information from mobile. Cellebrite denies plans to sell them its latest system

Disney claims to entertain, inform and inspire people around the world through unparalleled storytelling, so it is worrying that it is cooperating with those who allegedly systematically violate human rights to achieve its goal!

[My article in @Independent: Mulan is nothing more than a nationalist drama that whitewashes the Uighur Muslim crisis in China]
We urge @Disney to take down this controversial movie from its platform & clarify its stance on the issues regarding Xinjiang.

Under #nationalsecuritylaw & #China’s #WolfWarriorDiplomacy, it's just a matter of time for foreign firms to consider withdrawing from #Hongkong, esp when even Australian reporters can suddenly fall victim to #Beijing’s #hostagediplomacy threat overnight. japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/09/0…

[My oped in @Independent: No one knows what happened to the 12 Hongkong asylum seekers China detained]
independent.co.uk/voices/hong-ko…
Two weeks on with no further updates about their situations, it seems they've been thrown into a black hole of indefinite detention...
1719
1/ As Beijing chips away at the city’s freedoms and our way of life, some Hongkongers choose to risk their lives and flee for asylum by speedboat. Two weeks ago, on 23 August, 12 asylum seekers were captured. They are now being detained in China.
1720
2/ Under the national security law, it could be the first case that HKers will send to China’s court. Under the stricter legislation and criminal laws in China, all detainees may face graver offences. Throughout the criminal justice process, it could be a complete black box.
1721
4/ What was once a semi-autonomous international financial center has now turned into a tightly controlled region, after Xinjiang. Fleeing has become the only way for the city’s freedom fighters to seek liberation.
1722
3/ For a long time, fleeing by sea has been commonly associated with countries grappling with armed conflicts and repression, as with Syria, Libya and Myanmar. It’s tragic that another is set to join them.
1723
5/ As every second passes, the fate of the detained Hongkongers becomes more uncertain. To bring them back safe and free from tortures, we hope the world can keep a close watch on developments and speak up for us when our voices are eventually silenced.
1724
Joshua Wong urged human rights advocates to boycott Mulan, accusing Ms Liu of "openly and proudly" endorsing police brutality in HK. He added that @yifei_cc was "an icon of authoritarianism wilfully betraying the values Hollywood purports to champion".
