Wow - my friend @tedhuichifung sentenced to 3.5 years in jail in #HongKong in absentia. Yet another outrageous injustice. I am just glad Ted is safely outside #HK.

As #CCP holds 20th Party Congress in just over a week, it is vital for the world to know what #XiJinping is doing to #Uyghurs, #Tibet, #HongKong, his threats to #Taiwan, complicity with #Myanmar & #NorthKorea, crackdown on dissent in #China itself & threats to our freedoms too /

Good grief.
First he wants to surrender #Ukraine to #VladimirPutin
Now he wants to give #Taiwan to #CCP #China

Sentencing teenagers - minors - to jail for expressing an opinion is just outrageous.
This shows how far wrong #HongKong has gone and how serious is the loss of its freedoms & autonomy. It's a totally #CCP-controlled cruel police state.

I am sure those who were so courageous as to speak out like this were speaking for many many more people in #China
