4/ It will also enable the government to influence the results of future elections by manipulating the results of polling stations in mainland China. It is abundantly clear that the proposal of overseas voting is politically driven and in favour of pro-Beijing candidates.

3. More questions about the postponement of election include: To what extent and in what ways does Beijing intend to reopen the election? Will Beijing decide to arrest more activists under #NationalSecurityLaw?

@joshuawongcf
5/ During the initial stages of the outbreak, the Chinese government concealed information from the public, limiting mitigation efforts and exacerbating the spread of SARS. Chinese government did not notified WHO of SARS until Feb 2003, allowing it to flourish and spread to HK.

8/ Running out of masks, HKers raided supermarkets for protective equipment. Elderly camped out outside pharmacies through chilly winter nights in line for masks, even forced to reuse old masks several times. Worse still, mask stocks for medical workers can only last for 1 month.

4. Worse still, under #nationalsecuritylaw and tightening political red line, it is the first time that #Beijing regards the city’s judiciary independence is a challenge to its authority, which sends an alarming signal to the world.

3/ Afterwards, I was tailed by car VE3492, hoping to follow me to another destination. Once realizing my fds discovered them, the car completely violated traffic rules, ran the red lights and turned a U-turn at the straight-ahead-only intersection, nearly leading to car crashes.

🇮🇹 S Il tenore italiano Stefano Lodola e Patrizia De Grazia, attivista e dirigente di RadicaliItaliani, annunciano 12 giorni di attività manifestazioni in giro per l'Italia in sostegno dei 12 ragazzi di #HK arrestati e detenuti in Cina da quasi due mesi.

7/ @demosisto now invites the world to join our petition to call upon #Frenchgovernment to suspend the export of tactical suits to HK police. We urge #EuropeanCommission to pass all necessary legislation to control exports to countries, including HK, that violate basic rights.

@joshuawongcf
12/ Hundreds thousands of people have taken to the streets in protest against it. “It’s to blame Beijing if one million people could not go now to the streets. If they don’t let people demonstrate peacefully, they would show they true face. We call on the world to stand for HK"
1936
@joshuawongcf
I hope our Taiwan friends really go for it, and with their votes show the Taiwan people’s determination to refuse to bow and scrape before Beijing. This is the greatest support you can give HK. I wish Taiwan the best of luck as the countdown to Election Day nears its end!

@joshuawongcf
2/ Kowtowing to China's authoritarian rule & keeping silent on HK's human rights matters are just appeasement policy in 21st century. As recent reports on Chinese defector William Wang suggest, Beijing is exporting its covert operations & political infiltration in HK & Australia.
1938
@joshuawongcf
4/ In 2003, the outbreak of SARS was traced to the selling of wild animal, like snakes, civet cats and bats in wet markets in China’s Southern Guangdong province, and the first patient was infected after preparing for a meal of chicken, cat and snake, and later infected others.

@joshuawongcf
13/ If the slanderous operation of the government is tolerated and not refuted, I believe I would be given no chance of defence when I’m arrested. Lastly, I wish to thank all voters who entrusted my political belief and generously gave nominations to support my campaign.

@joshuawongcf
4. When having “conscience” stickers, holding blank placards & voting in #hkprimaries are framed as inciting subversion, a large-scale crackdown on pro-democracy protesters' finances is on the way, this time including ex-pats & international institutions that the new law covers.
1941
@joshuawongcf
5/ Worse still, HKGov just claimed that national security is not part of the city's autonomy and entirely under charge of CCP. Beijing is literally imposing a CCP-led secret police agency to enforce China’s law in the territory of HK that threatens HK's judiciary independence.
1942
@joshuawongcf
13/ As the incident has sparked global concerns, I call upon Disney to disclose the details of its agreements with Xinjiang authorities, as well as all the subsidies, funding, assistance and instructions that it has received from the authorities.
1943
@joshuawongcf
10/ "It is time for the chief of Prison to be held accountable and to respond to the issue. And the superintendent of Pik Uk must bear the responsibility and conduct an investigation."
1944
@joshuawongcf
10/ ...and cancelling elections, Beijing has put critical voices in the media in its crosshairs & imperilled the free flow of information to global audiences. Beijing is decoupling HK from the world and turning media outlets in HK into a state-controlled propaganda apparatus.

2.4/ Czech, Dutch, Spanish and Turkish governments have found the China-made masks and test kits fail to meet safety standards. In other words, those Chinese mask manufacturers are now earning money at the expense of others' safety.
1947
@joshuawongcf
4/ Also, the law is also posing threats to all ex-pats and travellers both inside or outside Hong Kong, since Beijing has begun arresting non-Chinese nationals overseas. All these brutal crackdowns are trampling on the liberal values that Western democracies rest upon.
1948
@joshuawongcf
2/ In our David and Goliath war, Hongkongers want to send a clear message to the world - We can all fight for a brighter future with our actions. To safeguard the liberal values that we all cherish, we hope the world can speak up for us when our voices cannot be heard.
1949
@joshuawongcf
3/ The call is actually supported by public & experts. From latest poll, 80% population support sealing borders entirely. It's backed by several HK doctors & microbiologists, including Prof Yuen, leading expert in infectious diseases who discovered the agent causing coronavirus.

@joshuawongcf
3/ The Chinese developer put pressure on Wanin to “handle the issue with real action”, but Wanin defied the political pressure and vowed to defend the freedom of speech of Taiwan players. Less than 30 minutes, the Chinese side decided to terminate the cooperation agreement.
