Intellectuals are the ones the communist party most afraid of. That’s why they ordered the HK police to raid the best universities in town and tried to arrest the future of #HongKong. The students resisted with multiple tools, one of them is mattress from hostel.

China spends billions on it's international propaganda, with lies.
Here's their recent move:
1. Exaggerate their result of containment
2. Fabricate a cooperative gesture
3. Accuse US of spreading the virus, which is fake and groundless
Be aware of them.

1.After the Apple Daily closure, Stand News became the largest free media in Hong Kong. Today, we have witnessed another forced closure with a number of arrests. The message Beijing sends is clear: report in the way that we allow, or end up in jail.

I was there witnessing this Chinese "reporter" from CCTV slapped a helper of the event. It was such a barbarian act and absence of professionalism. UK court did not tolerate that -- she was found guilty.

I want to pay my tribute to the protestors in Mosco and other cities in Russia — they have shown that not all nationals support dictators like Putin, Xi, and many others.
We all share the pain of living under a brutal regime. The fight is also ours, to end the dictatorship.
232
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.

1. The 7 democrats' arrests today showed, once again, how the government manipulates the legal system and uses it as a legal weapon to persecute democratic activists. The legislators are arrested due to their protest in the chamber, in which these actions should be protected.

We DID it! This HK human rights and democracy act is passed in Senate! 💪

Maybe it's not surprising that The King and The Emperor share similar views. It's just sad to think of how many basketball players are tortured in Xinjiang concentration camps or facing bullets in the frontline of Hong Kong. Authoritarianism is our common enemy.

1. In the past few days, some compared the storming to the Hong Kong Legislative Council to the chaos in Capitol hill. It's the WRONG comparison. Several scenes on 1st July 2019, one of the monumental days of the protest movement, can help you tell the differences.
237
We all know that the police protocol requires them not to hit people on the head and it's a lethal use of force if the did so.

Hong Kong govt is enacting "Emergency Law" which grants them unlimited power. After the "anti-mask law", we can expect the denial of internet access, prolonged detention, restrict freedom of movement etc. draconian laws coming from them.
Communists want war, not peace.

“We have to make sure when people think of China they don’t think of economic growth, business opportunities - they think of concentration camps in Xinjiang, the struggle of Hong Kong, people inside mainland China jails.”

The voices of HKers are everywhere. We need to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for its human rights violations. We need to preserve our culture, identity, and universal values as they are the most powerful weapons against tyrannies.

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.

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 what I have expected: you conceded, they demand more. Only solution: #NBA teams stick together and say no to the gag rule from China. Otherwise, you all live in fear.

CCP mouthpiece promoted misinformation in a UK program and being busted. He was enraged when he realized his smearing attack did not work. Civility vs barbarity — that’s the difference between democracy and autocracy.

On this day two years ago, in 2019, more than a million people rallied on the streets of Hong Kong.
Many have been prosecuted, injured, jailed, and exiled.
Even though democracy has not prevailed, we believe that eventually it would, as long as we never give up.
