THREAD:
1. @ForeignPolicy published an article by former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan @Doug_Bandow, suggesting a more engaging policy to China. Since he mentioned my comments, I'd like to respond to a few of his points on the grand strategy to China.

Hongkongers who genuinely believe in democracy and human rights are with the protestors in Myanmar. Military coup takes away people's legitimate democratic rights and damages the country's interest to benefit a few demagogues. We demand democracy now.

So we've got another variant of wolf-warrior diplomacy?

Central and Eastern European countries should seriously consider withdrawing their participation in 17+1. It’s a significant hindrance in forging a unified EU approach to the CCP and providing them a great window to divide and conquer. Values always come first.

3 ways forward for defending democracy:
1. Treat democracy crisis as a global fight
2. Put China&HK human rights issues in the center of Biden's Democracy Summit
3. D10 or more alliances should be formed

Had an interview with @melissakchan on what the UK govt should do after introducing the BNO scheme and the situation of increasing surveillance in Hong Kong.
We must hold the CCP accountable for its human rights violations.

I have been advocating tirelessly that the HK police should be banned from enjoying the BNO scheme. They contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong's freedom, directly breaching the joint declaration. We cannot let the people who destroy our freedom benefit from its remedy.

I am deeply indebted to all my friends, fellows, and professors who helped me when I was studying at @Yale. So much had happened, and I am glad that I managed to balance my advocacy work and learning. Looking forward to the commencement ceremony.

As one of the #Hongkongers facing political oppression, I stand by the G7 leaders’ statement and call for the immediate release of #Navalny and other #RussianProtesters. No one should face assassination or prosecution because they dare to voice out.

This meeting should NOT proceed unless ALL political prisoners in HK, including @joshuawongcf , are released, and ALL concentration camps in Xinjiang are closed.
Retweet if you agree.

US Secretary of State nominee @ABlinken's remarks on China and Hong Kong's issues from his testimony were on point. We need consistency in China policy and diversified tools to curb the CCP's authoritarian expansion, and unite our allies with coordinated strategies. Encouraging!

Mr. David Perry, QC quitted from the case of prosecuting Jimmy Lai, the pro-democracy media mogul. DOJ of HK says "growing pressure and criticism from the UK community" ensued since he took the duty.
It's indeed good news. Lesson learned for everyone.
