I never thought I would ever write this line: "Solidarity with Nike!" Nike faces social media storm in China over Xinjiang statement https://t.co/nX3jzGYTU8
More horrifying video emerging on Telegram of the pregnant woman who was pushed to the ground by the HK Police in Mong Kok tonight. The man in black trying to protect her is her husband. Excruciating just to watch.
I’m deeply troubled by reports of the arrest of @JimmyLaiApple under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law. Further proof that the CCP has eviscerated Hong Kong’s freedoms and eroded the rights of its people.
Today, I reported to Congress that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China, given facts on the ground. The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong.
Firing pepper balls into a cowering group of kids with nothing but umbrellas.
I challenge any police officer to justify the necessity of these tactics.
3/ In fact, the world has already expressed concern over the evil & ill-defined #nationasecuritylaw that will kill democratisation in #HK and harm global business interest in HK. But China keeps dismissing all doubts from world leaders, business sectors and even bar associations.
2/ When #Beijing insists on ignoring international responses and breaching international norms and rules, it is time for China to face the grave consequences and international backlashes for its irresponsible act of scraping an UN-filed Joint Declaration.
[Sanction red capital, dual-used tech and white glove
companies as the way to send a warning signal to China]
1/ @Reuters and @business Bloomberg just confirmed that the US is likely to sanction China if it approves the hugely controversial bill that damages HK's autonomy.
#StandWithHongKong is now trending in America with 77.2k tweets. Not an enormous number, but a big one for sure, and the first time politics not involving Trump has trended for awhile.
5/ Today’s rally is the prelude to a larger scale of protest before the announcement of evil law. It's time for HKers to fight back & safeguard HK. I call upon the world to #StandwithHK & oppose #nationalsecuritylaw which poses a threat to all ex-pats & travellers in global city.
4/ Not to mention that expats will also suffer, especially when #China is carrying out #WolfWarrior diplomacy worldwide. 2 Canadians became victims of hostage diplomacy as retaliation against the arrest of #Huawei's Meng. Foreign reporters were denied entry for political reasons.
