//“Partnering with China” to fight climate change may sound like a soothing and practical solution. But it rests on deeply flawed assumptions about the party//

So they regard the European Parliament as a body that does not deserve any attention? Wow. That's a display of arrogance and aggression. twitter.com/StuartKLau/sta…

//Mr. Orbán, if you are truly worried about the return of global division, the best way to prevent such a thing would be to work as part of a democratic alliance to implement checks and balances on China’s grip on the world. //

We’ve always been saying that countering CCP’s global aggression is not racist. They love to conflate the concepts of “country,” “regime,” and “people” to justify their suppression and avoid criticism.
Don't be fooled by them.

One of the most high-profile podcasts I have done, and one of the most impressive one. Thank @DavidAltonHL for making this possible. Hongkongers' voices should be heard by people who believe in democracy.

“Normally, the first of July was a showcase of civil society and big crowds of Hong Kong people. But today, you can only see a Hong Kong that is being silenced.”

Yet people in China never vote for their leaders. Oppositions are quashed. Muslim minorities are persecuted and crosses are burnt. That’s how shameless CCP is — falsifying everything. twitter.com/ChineseEmbinUK…

An excellent and comprehensive report on how the Chinese Communist Party dismantled Hong Kong's civil society and individual rights. A must-read.

Winston has been a force of good in helping Hong Kong people in the UK and voicing support to the democratic movement. Really thankful for his commitment to helping the people in need.

Thank you @GianniVernetti, former Italian Senator and currently a columnist at La Repubblica for publishing the story of myself and Apple Daily. We are connected to the world.

The experiences of Apple Daily reflect the efforts of the Chinese government to replicate the mainland's media climate on the island. This was clearly shown in the 2021 Press Freedom Index, in which Hong Kong fell from 54th to 80th globally.

7. We are saddened, but we won't give up. I will continue the work in the diasporic community, with supporting more on reporting on the ground and preserving its culture. Hope all of you are also supporting the struggles of Hong Kong people as well.

6. Supporters vowed their support to the paper outside its building on its last day. It's a heartbreaking scene, and the govt singlehanded created this tragedy. CCP does not tolerate truth and independent journalism. They crush our civil society, our proud tradition.
319
5. More than 1000 workers lost their jobs. A charity operated by Apple Daily that subsidizes underprivileged patients to pay for expensive patent drugs is also closed immediately. They lost all fundings. People lost more than a news channel that dares to speak differently.
320
4. Apple Daily is a popular newspaper. It ranked 3rd most credible newspaper in the latest poll by a university research institute. People supporting democracy support them as well. Apple daily is murdered by an authoritarian regime, with the latest weaponized legal state.
321
3. By arresting executives, journalists and freezing the asserts, the companies cannot pay their staffers, and staffers are afraid of being arrested. The paper with a history of 26 years is gone. The companies and the arresstees are not even trialed yet.
322
2. The parent company of Apple Daily, Next Digital Limited, is a listed company. The govt forced a listed company to close itself in a matter of days, though signs have been there for months.
323
1. Most of you may not understand how dreadful the closure of Apple Daily means to Hong Kong. Not only to its journalistic landscape, but also to the people and the city itself. This is their last day. They are going to print 1 million copies tomorrow to commerate the fight.
324
This is one of the most disgusting attacks on press freedom. Apple Daily is murdered by the Chinese Communist Party because it supports democratic movement.
