Appalling piece of reporting which reads like it was briefed by the prosecution. #FreeAndyLi scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

To clarify: "them" is the HK establishment (politicians, media, courts, police) who are all colluding in this joke trial to turn Jimmy into some kind of evil boss. How stupid do they think people are?
428
Everyone in Hong Kong should just say "Jimmy Lai made me do it" and save them the trouble of this ridiculous framing charade.

Spare a thought for Afghan #Uyghurs, because in its efforts to "use" China to "contain" the Taliban, our Government clearly hasn't. Must read. 👇

Seems UK will deploy any excuse to normalise 🇨🇳🇬🇧 relations
First it was climate change (PRC doesn’t care), now, ludicrously, the Taliban? What’s the @FCDOGovUK smoking?!
Meanwhile, the #Uyghur genocide + 🇭🇰 destruction rages and we do nothing. reuters.com/world/uk-says-…

Yes, I’ve seen them. No comment, aside from this:
Hong Kong’s legal system is an international embarrassment.
Attempts to frame Jimmy Lai are pathetically transparent.
Andy Li has committed no crime.

Gobsmacking to me that a man could be convicted for working with a @UKParliament group in support of a treaty the UK signed and @UKinHongKong @ukinchina @DominicRaab have NOTHING to say about it. #FreeAndyLi twitter.com/galileocheng/s…

This is what torture, duress, and a hopelessly compromised legal system achieves. Few people could withstand it.

#AndyLi turned 31 a few days ago. Behind bars.
Detained for 12 months now. Done nothing wrong. Back in court tomorrow for the latest chapter in his farcical “trial”.
#HongKong’s legal system has become little more than a tool of political persecution. #FreeAndyLi

My grandmother died this morning. Grateful for her long life. She was our family’s last connection to the greatest generation. Rest in peace, granny.

Anyone else notice a decline in wumao content of late? Hope Xi gets his 50 cents back.

Bad enough that pro-CCP stooges are abusing the #BN(O) scheme, but this?!
The vetting process needs to improve urgently + HK pro-dem figures now in the UK should be involved (for local expertise). thetimes.co.uk/article/chines…

Dear @iocmedia why are PRC athletes allowed to celebrate the greatest mass murderer in history?
If anyone is still on the fence about how @Beijing2022 will be used for political purposes see the below screenshot of now deleted tweet from PRC state media via @kerrya11en

A complete outrage which shames 🇬🇧
We promised to maintain HK’s high degree of autonomy and way of life.
What did #HK get?
9 years in jail for waving a flag Beijing doesn’t like.
@DominicRaab we must move to accountability. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…
