Seeing「時代革命」(“revolution of our time”) written atop a judiciously buttered slice of Hong Kong-style French toast is a dream you, too, can realise at pro-democracy bing sutt 行運冰室 Lucky Cafe in Taipei.

With HK’s iconic Victoria Park vigil for the victims of Tiananmen Square banned by police for the first time ever, HKers have been seeking other ways to commemorate the dead.
One friend of mine just did this candle-shaped run around the park as her way to keep the flame alive.

Hundreds of people have assembled at Taipei’s Liberty Square to remember the victims of the June 4th massacre, including a sizeable coterie of Hongkongers and their supporters.

It’s astonishing that we’re now in the habit of calling HK “ungovernable.” The civic pride and capacity for self-organisation shown by HKers on June 4th is another reminder that it’s so-called ungovernability is merely a reflection of those misgoverning it. twitter.com/benjaminqiu/st…

From "We Serve with Pride and Care” to “No Burnt Villages, No Mass Graves.” This year has been a trip. twitter.com/maryhui/status…

Pro-democracy candidates won 80% of District Council seats last November and polls indicate that close to 3 million HKers joined protests last year, with their supporters outnumbered their opponents nearly 2:1.
Yet Carrie Lam is still calling them “enemies of the people”. Wow. twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

After local chain Chickeeduck erected a Goddess of Democracy statue in their Discovery Park store, mall owner New World Devt has demanded its removal.
NWD is part of the local property cartel, invests hugely in China, and its chair is a CPPCCSC member.

Beijing's top man on HK, VP Han Zheng, has a new solution for the city's housing crisis: pave over SW Lantau Marine Park—one of only two remaining core
habitats of the Chinese white dolphin—to build public housing at literally the furthest end of HK.

On the morning that Beijing passed a sweeping new National Security Law for Hong Kong, student activists @joshuawongcf, @nathanlawkc and @chowtingagnes have all withdrawn from pro-democracy political group @demosisto.
212
In troublingly mainland fashion, former CE CY Leung appears to believe the new National Security Law should apply not only retroactively but also extraterritorially to HKers worldwide, offering a $1m reward for the arrest of “fugitives” and "law-breakers in HK and other regions."
213
The Taiwan-Hong Kong Services and Exchanges Office officially opened in Taipei at 10:00 this morning to provide humanitarian assistance and other services to Hongkongers who wish to study, do business, make investments, or seek asylum in Taiwan.
214
One hour before the today’s protest against the National Security Law is meant to begin, the streets of Causeway Bay are eerily quiet, silence blanketing the city’s biggest shopping district on a public holiday. A dozen or more riot police stand at every major street corner.
215
An uneasy stalemate outside Times Square as protesters move forward to meet the retreating police line. Inside, the luxury shopping mall has become an air conditioned refuge.

Hong Kong’s Via Dolorosa is just beginning.
Characters on the cross cast “the tyrant Carrie Lam down to Hell.”

The air is thick with mace on Lockhart Road after police unleashed a volley of pepper balls at fleeing protesters.

Protesters defiant on Hennessy Road. One year and one draconian national security law later, their five demands have not changed.

Over 300 arrests made today—nine under the National Security Law.

Hong Kong police are very proud about keeping these textiles and stationery off the street today.
The people caught with them could go to prison for years—even life—under Hong Kong’s new National Security Law.

Speech being policed on the streets of Hong Kong as officers tell LegCo hopeful @wongjiyuet not to utter unspecified “sensitive words” and then to keep her voice down—this on the same day “sensitive” books began disappearing from public library shelves (news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/compon…). twitter.com/wongjiyuet/sta…

CCP mouthpiece @PDChina stealing my footage (and others) without attribution, then saying the footage—in which journalists are deliberately targeted by police water cannons—will “make you feel good!”
Doesn’t get more unprofessional or inhuman than this.

Nothing gets the blood boiling quite like listening to a podcast on US-China diplomacy in which American experts talk about/over Hong Kong like it’s just some political poker chip and not home to millions of people who have been struggling for decades to decide their own fate.
