@WSJ#China capitalism is the Frankenstein bred under miscalculation and fantasy from the west: economic growth won't lead to political reform as wished. And that red monster is swallowing the world.

#LIVE: Dozens of what is believed to be undercover officers have also appeared at Harbour City, one of the popular malls in Hong Kong. At least one person has been arrested by them. Shops have also closed because of the police presence. #HongKongProtests
#LIVE: It turns out Silent Night isn’t so silent today in Hong Kong on Christmas Eve. Riot police, armed with guns, have suddenly entered several shopping malls. People’s anger have once again heated up due to their presence amidst their Christmas celebration. #HongKongProtests
Very good to take some time@our from election observation to tell #JuniusHo in person that I was responsible for the revocation of his honorary doctorate from @AngliaRuskin#Sorrynotsorry
"Beijing’s latest attack on the rule of law is another lesson to the world that Hong Kongers are fighting for freedoms the West holds dear."
“ ...(Carrie Lam) be remembered as the politician who killed Hong Kong."

The images from PolyU in Hong Kong are deeply concerning. The world will not stand idly by as HK’s One Country, Two Systems model is undermined by Beijing.
Officials must show restraint, deescalate the situation, and engage in dialogue to address protestors' legitimate demands.
If govt of #HongKong passes new national security laws that allow #Beijing to prosecute critics,it would be the de facto end of “One Country,Two Systems”, a violation of every promise made during the handover & warrants U.S. immediately treating city same as mainland #China.
This is very simple.
#HongKong autonomy is the reason the U.S. treats it differently than mainland #China.
If Beijing moves to take away autonomy there is no longer any rationale for special treatment. https://t.co/ZhPzUk5tbr
On Nathan Road, main street of Kowloon, Hong Kong people are united and form long human chains to transport supply to the frontline. We must save ppl who got trapped in #PolyUHK!
Shit is getting out of hand. Parents of students stuck at #PolyU have arrived in a human chain, requesting only their children to be unhurt. #HKPolice then said they're provoking them 😡
#BREAKING Medical volunteers arrested, their hands tied and locked like fugitives. This is outrageous. The HK govt has lost control over police force. A violent bloodshed is under way.
Just incredible. This siege is happening in a major university, at the heart of a financial hub. There is no sign the government has attempted anything to avoid getting to this point, officials remain completely absent.
