If the U.S. no longer treats Hong Kong as a separate customs territory, will our economy suffer? Of course! It's painful to acknowledge that the stock market may plunge, unemployment numbers may rise and foreign businesses may flee. Yet the hit is necessary.

Lately the solidarity with Hong Kongers that @iingwen, @MOFA_Taiwan and our Taiwanese friends have shown has been nothing short of heartwarming. Thank you!

4. Although the treaty claims excluding #Tibetans & #Uyghurs, it is dubious if this exemption can really hold since #Beijing in the past treated China-born foreign nationals as Chinese, such as Swedish citizen #GuiMinhai that was sentenced to 10yo prison. wsj.com/articles/china…

5/ With the 20 million dollars given by the CCP, the WHO has become the CCP’s mouthpiece who would, by all means, protect the CCP’s reputation rather than assume its role as a leader in global health cooperation.

9/ No one knows when the election will be reopened, whether the postponement will be extended, how the current legislature will be shaken up, and how many pro-democracy incumbents will be arrested under #nationalsecuritylaw.

2. Just like Chinese style cover-ups, the full draft of the law will be made public ONLY AFTER its passage, as a maneuver to reduce dissenting voices in general public. Once the law is passed, it will be used as the new weapon to crush dissidents.

2. The attack took place near the main entrance of the consulate today. The assailant approached the victim from behind & punched twice in his head, right at the moment when the victim left the consulate. The consulate is located in an area regularly patrolled by #hkpolice.

3/ As latest polls, over 80% of the city population support democracy. Even the ex-head of legislature Jasper Tsang supports the need for political reform. The landslide victory of election is another proof. I urge Beijing to honour its promise of true and fair democracy in HK.

But, in one of the densest cities in the world, many have voluntarily socially distanced themselves - with some even avoiding Lunar New Year gatherings, the equivalent of skipping Christmas events. bbc.com/news/world-asi…

2. In fact, under #nationalsecuritylaw, the similar threat of #HostageDiplomacy can also happen to foreign investors, travellers and ex-pats in #HJK, just like the two Canadians #MichaelKovrig and #MichaelSpavor that have been detained for over 620 days without trials.

3/ As far as I am aware, @KamalaHarris was also one of the co-sponsors of #HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct. When Beijing started to use the new draconian law to arrest HK protesters, @JoeBiden condemned the repression and urged putting American values back to its foreign policy.

4. Singh criticized that CIC is worse than prisons, where detainees are tortured and treated like “animals”. CIC concern group blasted that detainees face indefinite detention, while some of them have already been detained for two years, without trials and access to bail.

5/ I believe together we are making some very beautiful synergy and among us, a greater force, with more resolute determination is emerging.

김길자 여사님은 다행히 피해가 없으셨다고 하여 마음이 놓였습니다. 이번 폭우로 희생되신 모든 분들의 명복을 빕니다. 이재민과 유가족들께도 깊은 위로를 드립니다. 앞으로 태풍과 폭우가 계속 이어진다고 하는데 큰 피해가 없기를 저도 기도하겠습니다.

3. Just months after the firing of #UmbrellaMovement co-founder #BennyTai, the new appointment casts huge doubt on our academic freedoms, esp whether critical studies will be censured or liberal staff will be sacked. Once precedent is set, it's forseeable more uni will follow.

1/ "I play the game, I just bought it a few days ago. For lots of people around the world who play this game, they have to put their ideal life into the game, and for HKers, we have to put our protest movement and our protest sites inside the game."

8/ During this dismal situation, people of Italy and Hong Kong are all fighting a war on this deadly virus. We Hongkongers all stand with everyone in Italy. I am sure that we all can get through this difficult times before long.

7/ In fact, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines that have taken part in China's BRI are considering pulling out those large projects, due to the political concerns about the growing reliance on Chinese investments.

3/ Beijing proposed a CCP-led secret police intelligence agency under the ill-defined national security law. Similar to how it treats dissidents in China, Beijing is staging the biggest crackdown in the city after the Tiananmen Square Massacre, in a silent but violent manner.
