[#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.

" I think HK is going to look like Taiwan after the post-war era, from 1950s to 1980s. "

It has been the subject of a global backlash over its star's support of HK police and for being partly filmed in the Xinjiang region, where human rights groups say that Muslim Uighurs are being subject to rights abuses, a charge Beijing strongly denies.

A statement released after her arrest said infrared surveillance camera had appeared next to her doorstep in the week ahead of her arrest & was removed after she was pulled in by police. In China, putting a camera outside the door of dissidents is a common trick of secret police.

4/ 過去の24時間全然聞いていないので、本当にまだわかっていない部分がたくさんあります。だから、この国家安全法は正に政治的な弾圧するために利用したものじゃないかなと思います。元々法律というものは市民の権利を守るものなんですけれども、今、香港政府にとって法律はもう市民の権利を侵害する

13/ There are fears Beijing could accuse him of colluding with foreign forces to jeopardize national security, one of four crimes under the new security law, which introduced penalties ranging from three years to life imprisonment.

3/ More worryingly, due to the lengthy legal process, I will probably be further barred from leaving HK to tell our truth to the world even after my current case over police HQ siege ends. As our voices might not be heard soon, we hope the world can speaking up for HK's liberty.

Ex-pro-democracy lawmaker Au Nok-hin was convicted of assault on Monday for using a loudhailer near a police officer. This is the way of how HKGov manipulates the legal system as a hard-line tool to silence the dissident voice.

2. The letters have been long considered as the way to disqualify election runners since the electoral officers have huge powers to bar any candidates from running the election.

2) The Communist Party really struggles to understand economic freedom, or freedoms in general. As Hong Kongers explain, deciding where to spend your own money to support or denounce a cause is precisely the fulfillment of the free market. It is a means of resistance.

3/ It's also completely irresponsible & unacceptable for Beijing to distort the will of HKers. According to the latest poll, over 80% of the city's population supports free-election. Landslide victory of HK's district council election demonstrates our determination for democracy.

There is a terrible price to pay in making critical viewpoints over Communist regime and HKGov. Much as I wanted to enjoy free speech comfortably as you do, we are apparently not in the equal footing as I’m not able to exercise that freedom.

2/ I believed #MilkTeaAlliance could create a “pan-Asia” grassroots movement that would draw more attention to social causes in Asia. “Be it Belarus, Thailand, or other places where injustice is happening, we are constantly fighting for the same beliefs."

2/ I went to the Royal Thai Consulate Office in HK to demonstrate in support of our friends in Thailand, I recalled that 4 years ago, while I was detained overnight by the Thai immigration at the Bangkok airport, activists and human rights lawyers in Thailand came to support me.

#hongkongers own them our deep gratitude for their generous support. When #HKGov is reducing into a failed state and completely mishandles #coronavirus, it proves once again that a robust civil society with strong international networks is the only way out for #HongKong.

6/ Ever since the outbreak of the movement last year, when the smell of tear gas has become our collective memory, I always remember what one of Hong Kong activists, @BrianLeungKP , said, “More than language and values we share, what connects all the Hongkongers is the pain.”

2. The exporter added HKgov always stresses One Country is above everything, even the Two Systems, "When the world starts to treat HK in the same way as they do to other mainland cities, our government now emphasizes 'independence of #HongKong’ instead. It's just ridiculous."

12/ Therefore, it is expected the similar model of repression will take part in Hong Kong. There is no exaggeration to say "Xinjiang today, Hong Kong tomorrow."
