Behind tearful story there lies profound bravery of helpless families against brutal regime: ‘In my eyes, what he did wasn't at all violent...I feel like we're doing all we can, but #HKGov't is playing us over and over again'

[Companies should find ways to reduce vulnerability to #Beijing]
1. #China’s new unreliable entity list adds one more widget to its tool kits of economic statecraft, under which it has full discretion in determining which companies are problematic.

3. So long as #HongKong continues to function as the gateway of global capital flowing into China, foreign companies and governments still have the leverage to call for more #HumanRights and #freedom protections.

@joshuawongcf
4. In these darker times, the last thing I would like to see is people losing faith. It is the high time these values were acknowledged. We hope the world continues to speak up when our voices are silenced.

1/ Survived hearing today and need not face detention for now. Yet again travel ban imposed, an attempt to restrict efforts to activism. Thanks to the court I’m forced to continue activism more resiliently in 2020, leading to the shift of vibrant online activism during pandemic.

@joshuawongcf
2/ Next hearing fixed on 18 Dec. One of the charges maybe dropped by then if CFA ruled the anti-mask law unconstitutional. #MaskOnandFightBack Charging me of taking part in unauthorised assembly without questioning the illegality of the law is a neglect to justice in entirety,

3/ not to mention hundreds of activists in detention, desperate families calling for #Save12HKyouths while dozen activists detained in Shenzhen are brutally rejected access to legal rights. Walk one more mile in darker night. @save12hkyouths

Talked to @CBNNews about how #HK #Catholic textbooks are now used for #Beijing’s nationalist propaganda under #nationalsecuritylaw, while #China’s office in HK has just waged a new "struggle against the three mountains” - the city's legal, education and social service sectors. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

#Breaking On the eve of #midautumnfestival, a day of family reunion, #Chinese prosecutors just approved the arrest of #12hkyouths.
1. Two, Tang & Quinn Moon, are accused of “organizing illegal border crossing” while the other 10 are alleged of “illegal border crossing.”
1885
@joshuawongcf
2. As the only female of #12HKers caught when fleeing for #Asylum Quinn Moon, has been diagnosed w/ depression for 5-6 years.
According to #China's law, persons organizing illegal border crossing can be sentenced to 2-7 yr imprisonment, let alone other charges. #save12hkyouths

2/ To their dismay, the response from all of you, and others who support HKers, proves that Beijing has every right to be worried. My arrest, undoubtedly a political prosecution, is clearly designed to intimidate the people of HK ahead of the Oct 1 Beijing’s National Day.
1887
@joshuawongcf
1/ The arrest serve as “testing the waters”. By arresting me with a comparatively minor charge, the authorities is testing whether the global community would react, and if so, how strong will the reactions be.

4/ This is because the effect of coercion cannot be a solution, nor will it force the people of Hong Kong to surrender.
1889
@joshuawongcf
3/ There is nothing to celebrate on my prompt release. It only illustrates how the Hong Kong government is not doing their job, they ought to be devoting the effort into helping the 12 young asylum seekers, not arresting me with the absurd anti-mask ban.

[Tomorrow is #midautumnfestival & happens to be #CCP’s National Day this year.]
1 As #CCP mouthpiece explained, #MidAutumnday was the “day of revolt” that oppressed people shared dissenting messages w/ #mooncake & protested against injustice & brutality under high-pressure rule.
1891
@joshuawongcf
2. But centuries later, #Hongkongers are now even stripped of demonstration rights, with tomorrow's rally banned, citizens and civil servant warned to shun protests and 6000+ #HKPolice getting ready to suppress #hkprotestors.

Impressive study by @datenna: ~40% of Chinese investments in Europe have high/moderate involvement by state-owned or state-controlled firms. #China’s state influence was hidden by complex shareholding/ownership structures & deals via European subsidiaries. dtn.ai/fdiradar twitter.com/datenna/status…

1/ Shopping, dining, silent protesting on Beijing's National Day. Despite heavy police control over city's most crowded district, familiar slogans #5Demandsnot1less #TimeofourRevolution #StandwithHK are echoed in the streets.
1894
@joshuawongcf
2/ Blue flag raised a few times, people wearing in black are stopped and searched. Even journalists are targeted for IDs check. But it didn't deter people's faithful wish in this #MidautumFestival: #Save12HKyouths Bring them home!

1 As #Chinese cops refused to provide radar data to determine if #12HKers were captured in #China's waters, parents now look for a Greek vessel Angelic Glory which shd hv witnessed the arrest on 23/8, per marine traffic website

@joshuawongcf
2. The vessel was once owned by Diamlemos shipping corporation and now sold to M/Maritime. Since radar data is normally kept for only a limited time, please help us to contact the crew to #save12hkyouths.

My article in Financial Times: Business must keep pushing for freedom in Hong Kong. Companies should find ways to reduce their vulnerability to Beijing.

Local and overseas companies should consider diversifying their markets to avoid overdependence on China. Liberal democracies should consider banding together to offer protection to individual companies that find themselves trapped in fights with Beijing.
