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.

2. From growing unexamined ties with China, censored articles to expelled students, It is worrying that autonomy of Australia's universities now faces intensifying erosions.

13/ It worries me to see this highly contagious Wuhan-virus have infected people in Europe, and I fear there will be more cases after Lunar New Year as many Chi students will travel back to Europe from Chi after holidays, increasing the risk of the virus being transmitted.

2. More ridiculously, education bureau once published a slide in 2011 on its website citing Court of Final Appeal judge that HK practised separation of powers. But in order to fit the new narrative, #Hkgov just deleted the slide today.

It’s not about me being disqualified. The whole election can be disqualified with the establishment of the national security law. Hope for the best and prepare for the worse. We must stand up and fight.

Nach dem Lockdown flammen die Demonstrationen in Hongkong wieder auf. Im Interview spricht Protestführer Joshua Wong über Chinas Sicherheitsgesetz, Hongkongs Zukunft – und was er von US-Präsident Donald Trump erwartet. blick.ch/news/ausland/p…

4/ This is because the effect of coercion cannot be a solution, nor will it force the people of Hong Kong to surrender.

4/ Police brutality, Security Law and sweeping National Security Law will not silence our voices for justice and democracy. To support our fight for the city’s future, please join my Patreon.

3/ Beijing may block representatives of pro-democracy candidates or observers from entering mainland China which would leave the polling stations in mainland China unmonitorable.

2/ Even though #HKgov claims that 14days quarantine is mandatory, new arrivers are told that they can “go out” during the quarantine periods so long as they wear masks. It puts into doubt the effectiveness of quarantine policy as it means #coronavirus can spread in communities.

Two of my books — alongside those from other pro-democracy activists — were removed from Hong Kong public libraries. ‘With sweeping powers and ill-defined law,’ I said, ‘the city will turn into a secret police state.’

"The Rest of the world to pay close heed to what is happening in East Asia, as the infinity war that has ravaged HK for years may soon be coming to a political theatre near you."

3/ ...with reporters’ desks rifled through, computers and files seized and all staff and reporters checked. Given Apply Daily is one of the remaining critical voices in the city, Beijing is now launching the largest-ever assault on the island’s press freedom.

3/ Beijing banned him from running in district elections which took place in November on the grounds that his past defence of the city’s right to self-determination went against Hong Kong’s Basic Law, its de-facto constitution.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Bit by bit, #Beijing tightens its red line on #Hongkong, isolates this international city from the world, and puts #onecountrytwosystems in peril. The case is the best indicator of #Beijing ’s authoritarian expansion and weakening human rights situation in #China.

4/ The alliance represented not only widespread anger over China’s stance on Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet, but also wider regional issues linked to growing Chinese influence and expansion through its Belt and Road initiative and infrastructure development, he added.

5/ More recently, the hashtag has been aligned with news of satellite evidence showing that Chinese dams withheld water from the lower Mekong region during a damaging drought in downstream countries, raising alarm in Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam.

2.3/ It is by far the strongest criticism made among former public officers. Though these limited opposing opinion would not be able to prevent Beijing from doing so.

@joshuawongcf
5/ But before further disclosure of the evidence, is it a response in proportionality to silence a #whistleblower whose life might put at risk to safeguard viewpoints that are potentially inconvenient to an oppressed regime like #CCP ?

@joshuawongcf
6/ HK’s medical supplies are drying up this time. One of the reasons for this is connected to the HK democracy movement over the past seven months. Since it began, the Beijing government has classified all types of mask products as “sensitive items”, including surgical masks.

@joshuawongcf
4/ We wish to ensure our next generations can continue to live in freedom, but not in fear. With the city’s freedoms on the brink of collapse, we are defending our slight glimmers of hope for the city’s liberty with our bare hands.

@joshuawongcf
4/ There's only one group of people in the city who can ignore traffic rules & bear no consequences for their reckless driving - China’s national security agents. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, agents can directly kidnap any citizens or foreigners inside the territory of #Hongkong.
