#HongKong you need to get back on Twitter.
It shapes reporting and influences politicians. We wouldn't have got the BN(O) policy without it.
Yes, it's not a perfect platform, but you have to work with the tools you've got.
There is actually a fairly straightforward way of testing your hypothesis that 90% of ‘the Chinese’ are supportive of the Chinese Communist Party: hold nation-wide free & fair democratic elections. Oh, that’s not possible? Not even a rigged Belarus-style presidential election? 🧐
Women all across #Belarus are forming human chains of solidarity. In this video I took a moment ago in #Minsk, they are chanting "We are for peace!" This is also a powerful protest against police brutality. Such rallies are happening in Grodno,Lida,Baranavichy,Zhodzina
Today, I woke up to media reports that I am a wanted fugitive.
My alleged crimes? “Inciting secession” & “colluding with foreign powers” under HK's National Security Law.
Except I am an American citizen & have been for 25 years.
12 pro-democracy legislative council candidates are disqualified TODAY. MORE to come tmr. Most of the candidates from the camp are expected to be barred. The govt is constructing a CCP assembly in Legco to eliminate most of the opposition voice. Outrageous.

UPDATE | "The Arm China board is working closely with government authorities ... to ensure Allen Wu is unable to commit further harmful or disruptive actions against Arm China employees and partners ... ," Arm said in a statement.

The 🇬🇧 wants constructive ties with 🇨🇳, but we will always be clear when we disagree. Today I spoke to @MFA_China's FM Wang Yi about maintaining a positive relationship while stressing that China must live up to their international obligations, especially on Hong Kong & Xinjiang
It's huge. This is the 1st time🇺🇸closes down #CCP fascist 🇨🇳's consulate since🇺🇸&🇨🇳1st established diplomatic relations in 1979. 41 yrs later, we closed down 1st🇨🇳consulate. W/o electing Trump, this'll never happen. 4 that #Xitler interferes Trump's reelect. Trump'll win in Nov.
#China’s consulate in #Houston is not a diplomatic facility. It is the central node of the Communist Party’s vast network of spies & influence operations in the United States. Now that building must close & the spies have 72 hours to leave or face arrest.
This needed to happen.
The UK has a strong historic relationship with the people of Hong Kong & we are keeping our promise to them.
BNO citizens now have the choice to come & live, work & study in the UK - enabling them to build a new life for them & their family.

Hong Kong’s "Lennon Walls" were symbols of protests.
With the China #NationalSecurityLaws in place, the colorful sticky notes are being swapped with blank paper.
