China’s in a Catch-22 over the WTA’s #PengShuai challenge
“We've got so accustomed to international businesses cowering to the #CCP🇨🇳 for market access, we lost sense of what it should be like, so an act of integrity [by @WTA] is viewed as extraordinary.”

As we head into 2022, the 25th anniversary of the HK handover, the #CCP🇨🇳 is targeting the remaining media outlets that provide a voice for Hong Kongers. Among the arrested are Ronson Chan, head of HK Journalists Association, Margaret Ng, and @hoccgoomusic.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…

Lai, now a Taxi driver, said “he avoided mentioning his past job at Apple Daily to passengers. Once, upon learning of his past, the passengers insisted on paying him a big tip. He did not want that to happen again; he said he doesn’t want anyone’s pity.”

“Films can record history, but they can also change history. I insisted on releasing it now to confront the current political environment. This is the power of film.”

Most @appledaily_hk journalists who spoke to @VICEWorldNews said they did not expect to find another job in the news industry. Some were concerned that potential employers would turn them down after seeing “Apple Daily” on their resumes.

One of the largest circulating newspaper in Hong Kong and the biggest pro democracy media may shut down this Friday. The existential crisis of @appledaily_hk brought by NSL will have a lasting impact of other smaller pro democracy outlets. This is serious. twitter.com/tinssoldier/st…

Given the series of recent arrests by #ICAC, wonder how many of these "investigations" are driven by political or truly corruption charges? t.co/uwVd7lwf1b

Democracies should not recognise today LegCo “election”.
This rigged election is designed to ensure only a handful of candidates deemed loyal to Beijing are allowed to participate.
Boycott and non-recognition is the only appropriate response

These photos from the final days of Kai Tak Airport brings back some memories of a bygone era in Hong Kong.
Decades later, I wonder what memories people will recall when they look back at photos of HK from 2019 to today. Maybe CCP🇨🇳's version of history?

NHK World produced a documentary about the forced closure of Hong Kong's pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily earlier this year. They also followed the lives of several former Apple Daily reporters who continued reporting about Hong Kong, in their own ways.
