6. Clearly, #Wangyi will now realize it is a mistake to completely shut the door on the city's dissents and kill all possibilities to make changes within the system, after his recent trip to Europe.

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.
1782
6/ That's something we can all relate to in our respective fights against upper-class elite political guards who want to dictate and dominate our futures.
1783
5/ Over the past decades, China has shown no respect for liberal values, international order and also its promise of the HK's autonomy & democracy. With its coercive diplomacy, China’s assertiveness increasingly threatens the economic & national security of the US and its allies.

6/ 결국 한국은 독재 정권과 반민주 세력에 맞선 단호함과 용기를 통해 민주주의를 되찾아왔습니다. 한국의 과거 40여년이 지금 홍콩에서 홍콩의 시간으로 펼쳐지고 있습니다. 홍콩 시민들은 민주와 자유를 외치며 거리에 나와 반민주 세력의 억압에 온몸을 바쳐 저항하고 있습니다.
