HK loss of autonomy = loss of opportunities
China has been ruining HK.

5. In the cafeteria, the protestors reminded each other to pay for what they have taken. "I am sorry for bothering," "Pay at the basket =>."
The basket in the fridge which the sign is pointing at was full of bills that the protestors left, when they took a can of soda out.

City of Stamford has just passed a resolution in support of the movement in Hong Kong. They have a long history of fighting against tyranny, while HKers now also safeguard our city from China's influence. Thanks for standing with us in our battle for democracy and freedom.

People should be reminded more broadly about the threats and dangers of autocracies. Mistakenly claiming China as an "ally" shows the understanding of the nature of CCP is generally lacking, even for people who should be well informed. Something fundamental is missing. twitter.com/NBCNews/status…

I will be in Brussels and Venice for the following two weeks to join the Sakharov Fellowship. I am looking forward to meeting EU policymakers and promoting the importance of democracy around the world. It's also crucial to learn from other human rights defenders.

The Chinese Communist Party propaganda strategy is clear: shift all the blames to the US and crown Emperor Xi for the battle against the virus. But there is no victory in China yet. The effectiveness will be tested when people resume work and the info is still not trustworthy.

I truly don’t believe that China, which has been repeatedly violating multiple international treaties and promises, will deliver their climate proposals. Plus, without independent journalism and civil society, there’s no way to verify their data. @GretaThunberg is on point. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

2. My situation, however, may not apply to all Hong Kong asylum seekers. Some may not have enough evidence to substantiate their claims due to lack of media reports or fleeing before the persecution. Fears over their claims being denied, most of them live in distress and anxiety.

“Anyone who rejects military action as a last resort weakens the pressure that needs to be maintained on dictators and consequently makes a war not less but more likely.”
This is actually from 🇩🇪 former chancellor Merkel in 2003, before she came into power. Deterrence needed.

Press in Hong Kong are being profiled and targeted. The vocation of a free media is to reveal and document the truth, while the police and govt endeavor to conceal them.
High conversation of pepper spray burns eyes. The reporter suffered, because he did his job.

Friends in #NA:
“#Freedom” is out now. Reflecting on my #SummitforDemocracy remark, it's surely a timely read.
The story of Hong Kong is narrated through my life. It is a touching, warm, and insightful touch on why we should protect freedom and democracy.

1. Tmr marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s transfer of sovereignty. To celebrate this occasion, Xi Jing Ping left mainland China for the first time since the start of the pandemic and will host ceremonies in the city. Yet, most HK people are uninterested to these events.

@yuenpauwoo Opposed the Uyghur Genocide bill, supported Beijing's Winter Olympics, and claimed that China has a "legitimate" legal system.
Now this ridiculous comparison.
