Students in Hong Kong will soon be given textbooks that say Hong Kong was never a British colony.
The books are part of China’s effort to instill a historical narrative in a city where a pro-democracy movement was crushed. https://t.co/m7Qolkigcg
#BREAKING: Hong Kong to eradicate all hamsters for sales. City authorities stop the import of such rodents after 11 were tested positive for COVID-19 in a pet shop in Causeway Bay. All animals from that pet shop will be “disposed of,” as well as all hamsters for sale in the city.
Hong Kong is marking national security education day today in a number of ways, including bulletin board competitions and letting kids get up close and personal with... this... at the Hong Kong Police College. w/ @KariSoo1@ChloecLoNews@stegersaurus

.@HUGOBOSS, last September told NBC it was confident that Xinjiang cotton was not a part of its supply chain. Yesterday, it said on Chinese social media that it "will continue to purchase and support Xinjiang cotton".
Absolute hypocracy and moral dereliction.
Hearing that the @hkpoliceforce is about to classify involvement with the #PolyU protests as #Terrorism.
Ludicrous. But if true, we should all brace for a second purge.
Disturbing update. We are expected to believe that 6 of the #12HKYouths don’t want their family lawyers? And why hasn’t the location of all of them been disclosed?
Something is going on.
How was Ma “an ally of press freedom in Hong Kong”? @SCMPNews’s problematic but subtle editorial decisions are precisely the point—it makes the unsuspected think they are reading real news when they are actually primed to absorb Beijing’s views https://t.co/TGG9eVcgWQ
Competitive toadying really heating up // Yung said one of Ai’s pieces clearly crosses a line, & should be not be shown in HK. "If you point your middle finger towards Tiananmen, it means you want to show your anger against it, or you want to subvert the govt with your artwork.”
“Basic Law is absolutely meaningless”. Latest work by #HongKong artist @AhTo_comic shows Article 68 shredded by national security. The article stipulates that the ultimate aim is the election of all Legislative Council members by universal suffrage.
The Chloe Zhao episode tells you so much about today's China. Zhao was hailed as a point of national pride for winning the Golden Globe. Then she was accused of "insulting China" for making a comment on Chinese censorship 10 years ago. Now she is censored. https://t.co/Qgk5eXd694
