11/ Worse still, quarantine centres are patrolled by untrained teenage scouts. With limited protection gear & an endless influx of travellers from China, it's a matter of time before virus turns into a full-blown community outbreak.

2/ Individuals, companies and NGO institutions can be freely framed as "colluding with external forces" for any speech, participation, interviews, or even just a "like" on social media accounts. That's the reason why so many human rights defenders were put into jail in China.

6/ Meanwhile, #hkpolice has issued arrest warrants for 6 activists under #nationalsecuritylaw, including one American citizen, Samuel Chu, who just exercises his rights to free speech OVERSEAS and urges his own govt to pass legislation, but now falls prey to this sweeping law.

2/ #Taiwan’s participation is critical, especially after #China’s medical advisor Zhong Nanshan has just warned of #secondwave of infections. Taiwan exclusion from WHA will only have deadly implications & risk #HealthForAll, by blocking Taiwan’s valuable experiences & expertise.

2. Similar things have already happened last year in #Hongkong, where Apple removed our crowdsourced mapping app HKmap.live from App Store, days after #Beijing’s state mouthpiece’s criticisms.

10. In a rare move, Former Chief Justice Andrew Li broke silence & slammed the law as 'detrimental to the independence of the Judiciary' today, by far the strongest criticism made among former public officers. But these local opposition voices are not enough to hold China back.

6. This is not just a war on the city’s liberty and freedoms of expressions, but also a vital touchstone for the liberal values that those platforms and the world cherish and uphold.

15/ And yet, in the face of this darkest new era of censorship and repression, HK’s spirit of resistance is unflagging. Many HKers lined up in the early hours of Tuesday to buy the day’s edition of Apple Daily.

4. Such #Beijing interference intensified before #nationalsecuritylaw. As @amnesty report says, #Beijing & its loyalists increasingly use “threats, bullying and harassment” to stamp out voices criticizing #China’s human rights violations in HK & #Uyghurs.

4/ After the dissolution, Beijing will probably set up a pseudo-legislature & directly appoint members. That's not a crazy imagination since Beijing has done once in 1997! After HKers won a majority during 1995-1997, Beijing set up a Provisional LegCo.

3/ Ex-pats and travellers might face indefinite detentions, secret trials, covert surveillance, communication interception, warrantless raids of premises, asset freezes, or even extradition to China’s courts since the law covers European nationals working and living in HK.

It's my pleasure to be invited by the “Baden-Baden Entrepreneur Talks”. While China is unreliable to foster a sustainable international business environment and trade relationship, it is important for German business to put more attention towards HK. patreon.com/posts/42390533

Emperor Xi is keen on forcing HK onto a path very much resembled Eastern Europe during the communist rule. However, I think resistance will carry on in the dark.
We don’t do things because it has a great chance to succeed, we do because it is the right thing and it makes sense.

4. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, now even slogans #5DemandsNot1Less” and “resist” can be cherrypicked as evidence for #speechcrime, let alone pro-democracy activists being tailed by unknown agents for months, and #police starting to rewrite history to justify further crackdowns.

3/ Otherwise, councillors fail to "show their allegiance to the central governments” and "serve dutifully” as the oath states. In other words, HKMAO is paving the way for a large-scaled disqualification before and after the election.

@joshuawongcf
2/ The law – which punishes crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces with up to life in prison – has been criticised by legal experts for its broad and vague definitions that would allow the authorities to prosecute whoever they wish.

2. According to telegram bot developed by #Hkprotesters that crowdsources information about unknown cars owned by #hkpolice or unknown Chinese holders, the cars’ numbers are all classified as “dangerous cars”.

6/ To protect the city's autonomy and the Canadian interests in this global financial city, I call upon the Canadian Government to reconsider Hong Kong's special treatment and take all necessary actions to oppose the national security law.

8/ A week earlier, Chinese government claimed the outbreak of Wuhan-virus was “preventable and controllable” and this week it was forced to admit that virus was able to spread person-to-person and there are cases of infection were reported by people who never set foot in Wuhan.

2/ The diocese has issued new instructions to Catholic schools to discourage students from participating in protests, published textbooks with guidance on how to “contribute to their nation” with a clear pro-Beijing slant...

@joshuawongcf
2/ However, when China's tightening grip rattles the city's liberty, and even non-Chinese nationals are targeted this time, large scale crackdowns are right around the corner. We hope the world can continue to keep watch on the latest development in the city.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Under the new law, the #secretpolice agency is just the first step for more China’s direct control. As Section 4 of the law reads “Central government can base on needs to set up institutions in HK to uphold #nationalsecurity.”
2025
@joshuawongcf
5. But the law is just the first step as Chinese officers like Deng Zhonghua had already announced that #China will introduce more laws in future. As our voices may not be heard soon, we hope the world can continue to speak up for us & reassess the city’s human rights conditions.
