「台灣不再是『亞細亞的孤兒』。」
“Taiwan is no longer the ‘Orphan of Asia.’” - Pres. Tsai @iingwen
One of the most memorable lines, for me, from the President’s National Day address, after acknowledging the increasing global support and vaccine donations Taiwan has received.

Yes, these are M&M’s being collected as evidence for state subversion after members of a student group were arrested today under the National Security Law.
M&M’s are the only chocolates allowed in Hong Kong jails. The students were collecting them to send to political prisoners. twitter.com/galileocheng/s…

Nicole and her crew skipping quarantine to film Expats is “necessary” for the economy, according to the HK gov't, which at the same time is throttling the local film industry with a new “national security” censorship regime banning films and screenings.

As HKers are imprisoned and exiled, silenced and traumatised by state violence, we get not 1 but ✌️ @PrimeVideo series about expats.
This is starting to feel like cruel and unusual punishment. How much more does the city need to suffer before they care about actual HKers’ lives? twitter.com/bobbiharlow/st…

All it takes is a missive from state media for Hong Kong to crush a 50-year-old union that represented over 90% of education professionals in the city.
Not a radical protest organisation. Not an opposition political party. Not a pro-democracy pressure group.
A teachers’ union. twitter.com/hkfp/status/14…

After losing to Taiwan’s Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin in the badminton men’s doubles gold medal match yesterday, China’s Li Junhui takes to Weibo to congratulate… China.
“Congratulations to our Taipei, China team 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳,” he writes.

Another silver for Siobhán Haughey in the 100m freestyle! After already winning Hong Kong’s first swimming medal and making this the first Olympics in which Hong Kong has won more than one medal, she has now become our first Olympian to score multiple medals in a single Olympics.

Siobhan Bernadette Haughey takes silver in the 200m freestyle, winning Hong Kong’s first-ever Olympic medal in swimming and, if I may, reflected glory for all us mixed Irish-Hongkongers!

A motorbike collision is terrorism. A slogan is secessionism.
For anyone hoping this trial would set a high bar for such serious charges with incredibly heavy sentences under the National Security Law, not a reassuring sign. twitter.com/hkcnews_com/st…

Important @StandNewsHK report shows poster advertising 721 Yuen Long demo first appeared on Weibo and only on LIHKG/TG days later, with protesters warning not to fall for this trap.
More proof that police narrative of "clash" between two groups is false.

Joining us in Taiwan today is former RTHK host Tsang Chi-ho, who used to present the satirical show Headliner before it was axed last year for “insulting” the police, and was sacked by the gov’t broadcaster with immediate effect last month.

A good time to remember Yeung Kwong, leader of the 1967 communist riots that injured 1,000s and killed 51, including 15 by leftist bombs. Most were civilians.
Yeung was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal, the highest honour in HK, and Carrie Lam offered condolences upon his death. twitter.com/doomsdayspecte…

Police out in force today to prevent citizens from mourning the death of a man who attacked an officer with a knife last night, before turning it on himself and ending his own life.
This scene says so much about the dark place Hong Kong society has been driven to at this point. twitter.com/hkcnews_com/st…

Now News reports that the man who stabbed a police officer in Causeway Bay has been confirmed dead.

While we’re all reading (and/or writing) retrospectives trying to sum up the damage done by the National Security Law in Hong Kong over the past year, here’s a snapshot of what it has done within the past week alone: six civil society organisations disbanded in just as many days.
