Never forget how the Hong Kong police terrorized and assaulted citizens two years ago. Full-geared special force rushed to the station and attacked passengers indiscriminately. Many were severely injured, yet no officers are held accountable. It's an eternal scar in HKers' heart.

4. The Hong Kong government sees our younger and vocal generations as terrorists, while police violence is neglected or even praised by the authorities. What kind of a government is this?

3. Beijing is using the pretext of "terrorism" to frame and suppress all grievances and opposition directed towards the government. Following the imprisonment of legislators and the forced dissolution of the major civil society groups, students are the next to be targeted.

2. They have suffered so much as a result of a Student Union motion. In the motion, they have offered their condolences to a person who stabbed a police. That may not be appropriate, but that's definitely not "advocating terrorism." It's way below the threshold.

1. Let me tell you what has happened to Hong Kong's top university students, who were charged with "advocating terrorism," and you will realize how dictatorial Hong Kong has become. Bails are denied and they could face years in prison.

Thank you @BritishVogue for featuring my story as #MrVogue in the #Septemberissue. We need to call for larger accountabilities to authoritarian governments and protect democratic values as global democracy dwindles.
Hope that my story can spark more action.

While China's actively making friends with Taliban, HKG is arresting students for "advocating terrorism" because of their speeches.
How sarcastic it is.

The CCP is one of the most racist regimes. They persecute ethnic minorities and adopt cultural cleansing policies. It's weird that some of the most vocal racial justice advocates miss this point. twitter.com/EmilyZFeng/sta…

Let's talk about workers' rights under Communist China.
The answer is -- no. There are no independent workers' unions, and more critical voices are eliminated.

NINE YEARS for waving a flag and dangerous driving. Let's just face the truth: rule of law in Hong Kong is gone and the court is weaponized to persecute protestors severely.

It's a political show trial.
The right to a jury trial is denied. The government handpicked the judges. The judicial system in Hong Kong is weaponized to suppress.

Football has many sides. One is about competition, one is connection. Though I am not competitive, I played football in a few countries. Teammates with diversity are instantly connected. A common language and joys are shared. I love this side of football, not the one with hatred.
