“We felt it’s only us left, after Apple Daily,” said one @StandNewsHK reporter. “Everyone who stays wants to stay till the end. We still want to do a bit more,” he added, before his voice trailed off and he began to cry.

“I think this is the reality that Chinese people do not have a sense of safety that they can speak freely. But I am in this very privileged position that I'm not in China. So I have every responsibility to make my voice to be heard, to become their voices.” @badiucao twitter.com/60Minutes/stat…

The #CCP🇨🇳 cannot change Hong Kong overnight, but every night they will remove another piece of Hong Kong’s identity, it’s culture, and it’s history, until any hint of Hong Kong being different is erased.

In what appears to be a coordinated effort, two more Hong Kong universities have taken down monuments commemorating the Tiananmen massacre.
Following HKU's takedown of #PillarOfShame, CUHK took down its Goddess of Democracy, and Lingnan University removed its 8964 Relief Wall.

This is Hong Kong’s “Legislative Council” after the ‘patriots only’ sham election.

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

Ahead of the Legislative Council “elections,” Hong Kong’s bauhinia insignia was replaced by the Chinese emblem in the legislature’s main chamber. The removal of the bauhinia insignia hints that this chamber is now officially a Chinese legislature, not HK’s.hongkongfp.com/2021/12/17/in-…
