“It’s a sad and terrible reality but I don’t think it surprises anyone given how the Chinese regime sees journalists as an enemy and trouble-makers.
“Fundamentally the Chinese regime wants the media to be its loudspeaker and not hold them accountable.”

Thank you so much @NikkeiAsia & @michan_hk for featuring "Freedom." It's indeed a timely reminder to our world how fragile freedoms are and what we need to do to safeguard them.

Never forget 4th of June massacre.
It’s the iron proof of how brutal this regime is.

Another barbaric action from CCP.
I am standing shoulder to shoulder with the parliamentarians and civil society actors that try to hold CCP accountable. Indeed, being targeted by the villian is a badge of honor.

Crazy incident happened last night is explained. Police is no long protecting Hong Kong citizens. Pro-Beijing mobs can harm whoever they want.

We're not helping govt to redefine democracy.
//Despite the ubiquitous advertisements from the government, election sentiment in the public has never felt so low.
People do not want to vote for a rubber-stamp chamber and pretend everything is all right.//

Great piece from @SophieHRW! China has been infiltrating US campuses and monitoring Chinese students, while the universities have done little to deter them! It's a shame that students in the US cannot enjoy freedom of speech!
Universities SHOULD ACT😡

6. From previous experience, the chance of these 47 figures getting bailed tomorrow is dim. Most likely, they will be detained for months until the next hearing. If they are convicted, they are likely going to be jailed for years long. Many of them are my dearest friends.

4. The Hong Kong government sees our younger and vocal generations as terrorists, while police violence is neglected or even praised by the authorities. What kind of a government is this?

2. This is a blatant attack on the rights of the students and academic freedom. The school has become a stretched arm of the government to suppress students' freedoms and extend the political terror. It's unacceptable.

Friends have told me that when my thread on the #Chinaprotest was forwarded to Weibo, their accounts were banned.
The PRC government is so afraid of kind words to people. They are scared of the inner pursuit of freedom of humankind.
Let’s continue to spread the words.

1. Tmr marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s transfer of sovereignty. To celebrate this occasion, Xi Jing Ping left mainland China for the first time since the start of the pandemic and will host ceremonies in the city. Yet, most HK people are uninterested to these events.

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.
