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.

🇭🇰Public opinion is strongly supporting the demands of protesters:
Independent investigation on police: 88%
Democracy:>80%

HK activists' free speech are threatened by pro-CCP nationalists, such as CSSAs, which are CCP's extended arms. The hosts of my talks at NUY, JHU, and UPenn received similar disinviting letters and protests. CSSAs should register as foreign agents as they are part of CCP's organs

No one now cares about the massive ceremony on the Tiananman and all the trash talks from Emperor Xi. All we care is the safety of freedom fighters in Hong Kong, especially the kid got shooted on the chest.
Only shame on China in their 70th celebration. Xi, You earned it.

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.

As my plane took off, I looked down wistfully for one last time at the city I love so much, with its skyscrapers, its ferries and its fabulous fizzing energy.

How CCP propaganda works:
1. Groundlessly accused the US of spreading the virus in China
2. Based on 1. , CCP claims the originality of the virus is “controversial”
3. As it is “controversial”, addressing "Wuhan" to describe the virus is "biased" and "racist"
That’s a true hoax

Many are curious on what makes me leaving. Youngest parliamentarian, jailed and popular — these are the elements of a “bright” political career.
My answer is clear: there is no democracy in Hong Kong. The “brighter” you are, the more suppression you incurred under autocracy.

When free press is the focal point of human rights discussion this year, CCP keeps charging journalists and media that dare to challenge them and speak the truth. Among many others, the arrests of Denise Ho, Margaret Ng are prime examples. RELEASE THEM!

What has South Park has taught us? Sense of humor conquers. That's what the communist regime most lacking when Xi started to ban Winnie the Pooh. We don't want to live in a world that only the joys permitted by the regime are allowed, right?

It's not the protesters who don't want to organize peaceful demonstrations, it's the police who started to shot tear gas to disperse the legitimate and authorized assembly immediately after people had gathered. The police only want blood.

It's a political show trial.
The right to a jury trial is denied. The government handpicked the judges. The judicial system in Hong Kong is weaponized to suppress.

We are witnessing a structural change in terms of attitude towards China & CCP.

It’s been two years since @joshuawongcf was jailed. We have no idea when he can leave — no verdict yet, and govt just put an extra charge on him.
We must continue to voice for them and request an immediate release of all political prisoners in HK.

The Queen's first visit to Hong Kong in May 1975. Years went on, and people still talked about it.
May she rest in peace.

Happy New Year!
The best wishes are the immediate releases of political prisoners in Hong Kong, including my dearest frds @joshuawongcf and @chowtingagnes.
Democracy for the Hong Kong people, and for all.
