According to @mingpaocom:
HKPF won't comment on individual cases, but said invoking NSL for handling such matters in accordance with the law. It's understood that this is the 1st time that NSL Division of HKPF cited Article 43 of the NSL to block websites.https://t.co/3BEC7PVGUE
VETO the EU-CHINA CAI.
// Statements of concern and condemnation are not enough — and trade or investment agreements with autocracies are even worse. For Beijing, these signatures on agreements are green lights to continue their actions with impunity. //

This is so wrong on so many levels. You cannot compare HK pro democracy activists who are fighting injustices imposed upon them to people in D.C. who are trying to overthrow a democratic election.
Mr Ripley you are working for CNN not CGTN or Global Times
What we witnessed yesterday was not dissent — it was disorder.
They weren’t protestors — they were rioters, insurrectionists, and domestic terrorists.
I wish we could say we couldn’t see it coming, but that isn’t true. We could.
This is a COMPLETELY WRONG comparison. The protestors in Hong Kong are fighting for legitimate demands of democracy and freedom. They stormed into a symbol of autocracy and political persecution. I don't think you want to equate the congress in Hong Kong to the US.
The latest update of my dearest friend @joshuawongcf: being treated as the most serious felon, escorted with shackles and chains. He was sentenced 13.5 months last month due to joining a peaceful assembly, and now facing NSL prosecution, which can lead to life-long imprisonment.
Joshua was further arrested under NSL today. WITHOUT legal representative this morning, he was taken to Laichikok Reception center to take statement. It is not known yet when and where this investigation will lead him to. Joshua has now returned to ShekPik Prison. (Apple Daily)
I call on the EU to launch an impact assessment on the new EU-China Investment Agreement, looking at the effect on Human Rights that the agreement will have, in particular with an emphasis on the situation in #HongKong, #Xinjiang & #Tibet. https://t.co/EQEX8Bw2CF
Thanks Sunny. The #CCP used all means to forbid #hongkongers to express their opposes towards government. But we would use our lives to fight for our #freedom and #democracy from generations to generations.
We love #HongKong.

1. The duties of a LegCo member a right to veto in accordance with the Law. Without the veto, monitoring functions such as amendments and debates could not be substantially carried out. There is no protective boundary between exercising a legal right and a criminal offence.
3. The pro-democratic primary election is completely legitimate, unlike what HKPF’s distorted claim. Not only because of 600k HKers casted their votes in the primary election, but its nature is identical to primary election in other states. It is a common practice to hold primary
2. The Basic Law provides for the dissolution of the LegCo if the Chief Executive and the LegCo fail to achieve consensus. The incorporation of this procedure allows for disagreement and mechanisms to settle the stalemate. The notorious NSL had effectively rewrote the Basic Law.

Eddie Chu was again arrested this morning at 6:25 am pertaining to the 35+ primary election. Eddie Chu is accused of breaching the draconian National Security Law. It is not yet known which Police station has been sent to.
The sweeping arrests of pro-democracy demonstrators are an assault on those bravely advocating for universal rights. The Biden-Harris administration will stand with the people of Hong Kong and against Beijing’s crackdown on democracy. https://t.co/nSj8dr3OEg
