China Govt loves these scenes very much. Can show to Chinese that democracy fails and justifies what it did in HK is right

Protesters are on the third floor of the Senate, walking door to door, shouting “Where the fuck are they?”

They’re in the gallery

When all the HK Govt is doing is to place more restrictions on ppl's freedom and privacy, no doubt this Govt fails in controlling the pandemic

@SariArhoHavren //more than 31,000 Hong Kong residents left for the mainland//
Many of them were born in Mainland and still have many relatives in Mainland. Maybe they barely speak Cantonese. So not strange for them to move BACK to Mainland

We as Hong Kongers learnt a lot on this for the past three to four decades

"too simple, sometimes naïve" on China, to say the least

@thorstenbenner @ischinger Absolutely BS. This Huawei paranoia is insane and weakness of knowledge and intellectual capabilities. Did you ever talk to system engineers of Telekom or someone else??

[Thoughts in HK @ThoughtsHk]

Interesting idea!!

[Sari Arho Havrén @SariArhoHavren]

Actually Meng should be worth not only Kovrig&Spavor but the 12 Hongkongers too; and why not to play it big while we are at it? Meng could be worth way more foreign prisoners & Beijing could get so much face for acknowledging how worthy the one Huawei princess is.

//China’s state-run Global Times has withdrawn an online article claiming K-pop boy band BTS enraged Chinese netizens ...”//

Many HK & Taiwan artists faced the same bully before. I wish GT can withdraw the articles against those artists, too.

It's another sign of failed state that HK CE can only delay the announcement of policy address TWO days before the event.

It's Xi's Government that politicizes #COVID19 the most. In HK, China's policy is to force us to accept the unnecessary help from China so that China can show its superiority over Hong Kong.

Seems HK Govt's policy objective is to destroy the financial centre status of HK

This has been happening for long time for HK and Taiwan. The artists face castigating when they are perceived to have said something "anti-China"

HK delays LegCo elections by at least one year due to pandemic. Now it's reported that the same staff, same arrangement originally planned for elections r now used to mass testing for #Covid19. Suddenly this arrangement won't lead to spread of virus🤷🏻‍♂️

... Chinese companies and thus the money from China govt indeeds goes to China
And most importantly: this is only to show HK's "inferiority" and China's "superiority", to show that HK need to depends on China so that China in the future can ask much more in returns from HK
