5. Beyond any doubt, the new pledge of allegiance is a new form of speech crime, stifling all dissenting voices and demanding absolute loyalty from public servants to Beijing, instead of serving HK people. Now Beijing has cleared its way to more disputed measures in HK.

In case you have never seen it, this is how Google warns you when they detected government-backed attackers are hacking my accounts. It happens to less than 0.1% of all users, and I have been receiving the same alarms for years.
Guess which government sends these attackers?

Climate change is a global problem. So do human rights violations.
Same as addressing climate problems, we should work together on tackling democratic recession.
Democracy is a global issue. What threatens democracy in one place, threatens the idea everywhere.

That's my faith. I am not religious -- fighting for democracy and human rights is my vocation and dedication. Hope the world can work together to address the threats of CCP and other authoritarian regimes.

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.

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!

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.

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.

A reminder to all the people living in democracies. Freedoms can be stripped away with an incredible speed that you can never imagined.
Stay vigilant.

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.

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.

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.

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
