陰謀論者成功之處不在於讓人信服，而是轉移焦點至無法證實、也難以全盤否定的猜測。
泥漿摔角既分擾心神，也讓人覺得這潭水污煙漳氣；把你拉下來的人不期望獲得支持，只希望旁人因厭倦這些爭鬥而離場。
網路生態不健康的話，不要「吃瓜」，專注做自己能做的事情。歷史的巨輪始終要向前轉。

Jimmy Lai, a 75-year-old media tycoon, is PRC's no.1 national enemy in Hong Kong. The only crime he committed was to speak up for democracy. He's been sentenced for years, and a few more political charges are pending. He may not be able to get out of prison alive.
1153
Most importantly, he is also a British citizen. The Brit govt & intl community should speak up for him -- name and shame Chinese&HK government, put pressure on Chinese& HK representatives in the UK, and sanction more officials&entities if necessary. We need to do more.

當政權要求你「愛國」，一切聽黨走時，你有想過國家愛你嗎？
中國的白紙示威過後，很多人都在想這個問題。於2019年初，我在一場公聽會中，曾經以香港人的身份回答過。

Just finished my 8 hours shift on Christmas Eve with @crisis_uk, a charity that helps people experiencing homelessness.
In a time of hardship, it’s also more of a time to give and care. Very blessed to be offered an opportunity to reciprocate to the community.

Merry Christmas!🎄
With everyone spending quality time with family, millions of refugees are forcefully separated from loved ones.
This is my third Christmas without my family, and it's especially disheartening when it's a time for joy and love.
Sending my regards to all of you.

This is the "unlimited collaboration" between China and Russia. Yet, ironically, they proclaimed themselves as "progressive force" -- I guess it means progressing troops into other countries' territories.
They are the greatest threat to our liberties and democracy.

An anonymous group of Hongkongers did this on New Year’s Eve amid severe crackdowns on political freedoms. They would be jailed for years if caught. That’s bravery in action.
Release ALL political prisoners now.

Excited to attend No.10's Lunar New Year reception, meeting frds @lukedepulford, @benedictrogers, @CatherineWest1, @aliciakearns etc.
Also had a chat with PM about HK communities in the UK. Sad that I missed Larry @Number10cat :(
Wish you all 兔年快樂，平安吉祥🐰

This is scary. It endangers the Chinese students who are forced to sign and the people who speak and campaign against the Chinese authority. Academic/govt must act to stop it.

In the past two years, more than 150k Hongkongers have relocated to the UK under the BNO visa scheme. I am proud of the Hong Kong community we've built in the UK.
Thank you so much to all of you who supported it — espl. @SKinnock, @DanielKorski, @sundersays and @FelicityBuchan.

“China is challenging the rest of the world about its ideology, about its global international system,” Law said. “It’s really important to keep raising awareness for political prisoners in Hong Kong, human rights violations in Hong Kong.”

The largest National Security Law case in Hong Kong has begun. Here are some facts in a 🧵:
1. Around two third of the defendants have been detained for almost two years. They were denied bail on the basis that "they may conduct activities that endanger national security."

The names and faces we should remember.

In the face of potentially offering weapons to Russia and worsening human rights situation, vowing to 'deepen' the bilateral relationships with China is irresponsible. It signals that human rights in China, and millions suffering from it, do not count when Xi gives you a carrot.

1/Myanmar’s resistance against military dictatorship has been two years, and still continuing.
As of Jan 30, 2023, the military had killed 2,901, arrested 17,492 (282 children), and 13,719 remained in detention, according to Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma).

It’s been a year since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
These historic meetings emerged, representing the world we're living in. Dictators work together, and democracies resist.
We are one, and we persist.

1. Living in the UK as a refugee, and one of the hundreds of thousands of Hongkongers, I believe the best way to facilitate social cohesion and ethnic harmony is by sharing our culture.
That's why I founded a non-profit @HKUC_UK and launched @hongkongmarch.
Come join us.🥂

The best way to facilitate social cohesion and harmony between groups is to increase mutual understanding.
Glad to bring #HongKong culture to Ealing, collaborating with @Pitzhanger.
@hongkongmarch will be in 16+ cities, partnering 40+ orgs and hosting 50+ events. Join us!

Hollywood is a gold-digging industry, and has been trying to please CCP. Actors like Richard Gere got canceled for criticizing China's aggression in Tibet. They self-censor yet claim to represent equality and liberty.
They should act to show their values.

On the next day of intl’ women’s day, Tang, wife of Lee, both were labor union veterans in Hong Kong, was arrested outside of the prison where her husband is jailed.
She left in 2021 because warnings of her safety emerged. But she went back, for now we’re not sure why.

@yuenpauwoo Opposed the Uyghur Genocide bill, supported Beijing's Winter Olympics, and claimed that China has a "legitimate" legal system.
Now this ridiculous comparison.
Time will tell now who needs to register as a foreign agent.

It's been almost half a year since @RishiSunak declared that he sees "Chinese Communist Party represent the largest threat to Britain and the world's security and prosperity this century."
Can anyone tell me how the progress of closing all 30 Confucious institutes in the UK is?

China brands Xi’s trip to Moscow as “trip for peace”, claimed that “China and Russia will continue to practice true multilateralism, promote greater democracy in international relations”
True Orwellian doublespeak.

It's kinda sad to see all the hype around this man.
Let me remind all of you: he's part of the Chinese Communist Party.
Supporting him is no different from supporting those artists championing Erdoğan, Lukashenko or even Putin.
He's against our values.
