Please support @hkdc_us - The Voice for Hong Kong in DC and the US. It is the first professional organization on Capitol Hill dedicated to US support and defense of human rights and democracy in Hong Kong and the only group led by HKers living in the US.

Judy Chan was once a rising star in the New People’s Party (which fielded 28 contenders & lost 28 races). She was Regina Ip’s designated successor. Last year she lost the Hong Kong Island LegCo by-election to @chowtingagnes’s backup candidate; this year she lost to mine. Goodbye!
Almost 3 million people voted. The opposition is winning 388 seats vs. 59 for the gov't (w/ a few more counting). Every way you look at it, this is historic. As our city plummets from being semi-autonomous to semi-authoritarian, we react by showing what’s DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.
I’m extremely delighted to announce that, despite my disqualification by Beijing, my backup candidate Kelvin Lam has won in South Horizons West with 57% of the vote. The incumbent, Judy Chan, is a protégé Regina Ip who supports police violence and calls protesters “cockroaches”.
Already broke the record by now in terms of voter turnout %. But will we be able to witness a 3 MILLION vote count in the end? (That will require 72.59%.) Please ask all your friends and family to cast their ballots if they haven’t already done so.
Want to know what #China is up to? Spying in Missouri, at our own companies, stealing our farmers’ crop info and sensitive technologies. This is why I’ve introduced legislation to stop Chinese espionage https://t.co/bYjANwbDvF
China is trying to monitor and control every aspect of their people’s lives with a dystopian social credit system, where the government gives rewards and punishments based on behavior.
One of the oldest & most prestigious medical journals, @TheLancet, published a paper on how HK police has breached international humanitarian norms in handling medical volunteers. Conduct of "Asia's finest" preserved for history #HongKongProstest https://t.co/ONDgG0PGpe
China is exploiting American research institutions and universities to steal U.S. intellectual property, which means American taxpayers are funding China's quest for world dominance. We must work with these institutions, @StateDept & @FBI to combat China’s Thousand Talents Plan.
From @WSJopinion: The Global Magnitsky Act provides a framework for the U.S. to impose sanctions on the Chinese human-rights offenders in Xinjiang, writes @Jardine_bradley https://t.co/oRfxHVF7CX
Hong Kong police rarely entered hospital areas like labor or emergency wards before the protests escalated in June, but medical professionals now fear patient confidentiality and high standards of treatment are under threat https://t.co/0tR3SnSQel by @farahmaster
A Chinese spy has risked his life to defect to Australia and reveal a trove of unprecedented inside intelligence on how China conducts its interference operations abroad. | Investigation https://t.co/fb1g8CF6qM
Great news!
The U.S. military opened an investigation into Chinese company @TikTok.
@TikTok’s data collection and censorship practices are shady. Until TikTok is transparent about both, the US government should stay away.
