Sorry, dear friends in #Beijing, it is your chum #VladimirPutin that invaded #Ukraine and started a war, not Nato, so cut out your outrageous lies and claptrap.
And we have every right to watch Asia-Pacific - and to warn #CCP #China

Just got home from my short semi-break and writing week, where I have come closer to finishing my new book on #China #CCP #HumanRights. Still more to do, but the end is in sight :)
Delighted to find @limlouisa's new book waiting for me when I got home. Looking forward to it!

THREAD: I want to share a few reflections & principles about why - & how - I try to support #HongKong's #FightForFreedom, have done so for the past 8 years
1. The most important point is that I have never, ever claimed to represent #HongKongers. All I try to do is support /

It is vital that we do everything possible to help #HongKongers protect the Cantonese language, as #CCP tries to erode #HongKong identity within #HK and as more #HKers move into exile
