I'm always ready to advocate the democratic rights of Hongkongers and urge the world to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable. It's been a year since I last visited Washington D.C. -- I'm grateful for the support I've received from policymakers and members of Congress.
602
It’s an important commitment. Hope that @SadiqKhan can do the same.

Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for your continuous support to the democratic struggles in Hong Kong and China. You are welcomed in Taiwan, as well as in all places where democracy is in place.
Hope you have a fruitful journey.

From a protest leader, elected legislator, political prisoner to an exiled activist, I have been devoting myself to the fight for democracy and raise awareness on the erosion of freedom.

The Chinese State Media is not a media at all. It does not have the bare minimum of media ethics and always veil the truth in the interest of CCP.
It is a timely response. It reminds us that China is abusing the openness of democracy to anti-democracy. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Movies are now banned from screening in Hong Kong. It's a side note on how much freedom are taken away now. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

@joshuawongcf, @chowtingagnes and Ivan Lam will appear in court tomorrow. They could be locked immediately if the court considers it necessary.
Hope everyone is closely following the development of their cases.

2. Since 2014 I have experienced a lot of ups and downs: from student leader to a Legislative Council member, and from a prisoner to an international advocate, I have not for a moment betrayed Hong Kongers’ values and democratic aspirations.

Not sure why we continue to allow Chinese officials to use the platform they banned in the PRC to spread lies and stigmatization (with an Iphone).
Anyone overlooking the ongoing Crimes Against Humanities in Xinjiang, Tibet and suppression in Hong Kong is the colluder of dictators

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

4. I was prepared when I left Hong Kong to be in exile; but this becoming a reality still disappoints, incapacitates, and frightens me. Indeed who can enjoy freedom from fear in the face of China’s powerful political machine? What we can choose is how to respond to this fear.

Riot Gaming is 100% owned by Chinese Tencent. Pro players and hosts of League of Legends are “reminded” to avoid discussing "sensitive issues”.
Gaming is freedom. Is banning your voice coherent with the sportsmanship of E-sports?

5. For me, it’s with action: I’ve always advocated for democracy in Hong Kong, for sanctions by foreign governments against officials who stifle human rights, for an international response to concentration camps in Xinjiang and the collapse of Hong Kong’s autonomy.

3. For Joshua and Ivan, this is not the first time they step into the cell. But the sentences are longer than all previous. Joshua 13.5m, Ivan 7m, Agnes 10m.Besides, under the National Security Law, Beijing can also prosecute them for their speeches, turning thoughts into crimes.

Been pushing a diplomatic boycott for so long -- now finally we've got some results.
Now, the other democratic countries should do the same.

2. At the @HouseForeign hearing yesterday, I spoke about the regime's lawlessness in hopes that the world would not forget about what's going on in Hong Kong. Of course, I knew my speech and appearance would put my own safety in serious jeopardy given the circumstances.

People should be reminded more broadly about the threats and dangers of autocracies. Mistakenly claiming China as an "ally" shows the understanding of the nature of CCP is generally lacking, even for people who should be well informed. Something fundamental is missing. twitter.com/NBCNews/status…

Somewhere in Germany, there is a Winnie the Pooh protest graffiti on the S-Bahn light rail train. From the handwriting, we can tell that it’s not painted by a Chinese native speaker.
The world is supporting us in different ways. Thank you very much.
