Do you want a thread exploring the links between:

*that ship stuck in Suez
*the Trojan War
*the founding of Singapore
*and Chinese foreign policy, from the Belt and Road and South China Sea to Taiwan?

Of course you do!

Or, just avoid WhatsApp. Why use a commercial service that monetizes your metadata when a secure, non-profit alternative from https://t.co/vmSnoKN9X1 is available? If it's good enough for @Snowden then it's good enough for me. https://t.co/Da0iRiBasq

Hong Kong police have confirmed that they used NSL for the first time to compel ISPs to block all local access to the website HKChronicles, a civilian effort to document police brutality and demand accountability from an unaccountable police force. https://t.co/eHVAnnjxet

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

Beijing is censoring overseas Canadian schools: tearing out pages, purging maps, and overriding Canadian provincial oversight.

Women wearing a hijab have been denied jobs because they "didn't look Canadian enough." Excellent reporting by @nvanderklippe

Welcome to 1984, where you’re not allowed to share news that shines a bad light on Big Tech’s preferred political candidate.

What many are thinking about Hong Kong in 2020.

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

Matthew Cheung, number 2 of the Hong Kong government is paid HKD 375,000 per month - or about HKD12,500 *per day*. That’s about USD48,000 per month or USD1,600 per day.
Elitism is as rife as ever in HK’s golden circles.

Bakers in Kashgar, Xinjiang, 1988.
In 2009, the Chinese government bulldozed most of this ancient Silk Road city and replaced it with a fake, Disneyfied 'old town' for tourists, and swathes of bland modern buildings. It was a tragic desecration of Uyghur culture and community.

[马建 Ma Jian @majian53]

In 1988, I spent months in Xinjiang. The Uighurs showed me, a lone traveller, much kindness, but their rage against CCP rule was palpable. The hell they are now suffering is the darkest stain of this century. The world must stop the genocide. Inaction is complicity.
