How exactly did China turn Hong Kong into a police state? It wasn't just the national security law. It was decades in the making. The party used infiltration, co-option, fear and intimidation - tactics it is now trying in the rest of the world. Our essay: https://t.co/L9rWwmKnM1

Today's the 33rd anniversary of the 1989 #TiananmenSquare 'incident'. I was a student in #Beijing as it unfolded. China and its politics have run deep in my bloodstream ever since. Below, a thread detailing the eye witness account of a Chinese friend (17) and my own observations.

In Sep 2021, China #MeToo journalist Sophia Huang vanished en route to the airport to the UK, where she was due to study. Now, she’s expected to face trial for subversion.

Please watch our BBC Eye film on her story, which represents so many in China today

1/25 Thanks to those who provided feedback on my tweet last week re: the (il)legality of VPNs in China. Apparently it was insufficiently nuanced for some folks, so here's a thread with more examples that also addresses some of the replies critical of my original thread.

[Kris Cheng @krislc]

Just in: Pro-democracy former lawmaker Fernando Cheung, after serving a 3-week sentence for protesting peacefully inside the legislature, has left for Toronto with his family.

Ahahaha. Oh my God.

The Russian FSB mocked up some fake Ukrainian Nazi assassins to foil but when stocking their villain lair, instead of buying 3 SIM cards, they bought three copies of The Sims.

I'm crying.

This is Nastya Chukovskaya, a Russian woman living in Budapest who, along with her partner, has helped countless Ukrainian refugees find shelter, food, and other assistance.

This is her face as she describes her experience trying to get the United States embassy to help. 👇

Grotesque to see Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) smearing the White Helmets with anti-Muslim and Islamophobic tropes.

[UkraineWorld @ukraine_world]

⚡Ukrainian women and girls tell stories about rape, group rape during Russian occupation. @LIGAnet published a text by a clinical psychologist helping three girls (16-20 y.o.) who became victims of rape. Thread 0/5

Hong Kong police at 6am local time raided home of Allan Au, veteran journalist, ex-Stand News blogger and journalism scholar, taken to police station

And they're right. It doesn't show March 19 imagery there. Why? Because they have failed to select the filter option of the range of nadir to show all available imagery.

Novyi and Staryi Bykiv. Sleepy twin villages, combined population: 2000.

Some came back to family here on first day of war; they thought it would be quieter than Kyiv.

A reasonable expectation. But on 27 February the Russians arrived.
