I call on the EU to launch an impact assessment on the new EU-China Investment Agreement, looking at the effect on Human Rights that the agreement will have, in particular with an emphasis on the situation in #HongKong, #Xinjiang & #Tibet. https://t.co/EQEX8Bw2CF
A pregnant woman was seen suffering the effects of pepperspray on the junction of of Argyle Street and Sai Yeung Choi Street on Monday as riot police dispersed pro-democracy protesters by force. Vid: NineTeen Media.
You’ll NEVER forget the first time you get tear gassed. Me? One year ago today - @CBSNews landed in #HongKong for the #HongKongProtests. 🇭🇰 Kind protestors shoved an umbrella and helmet on me to shield against police rubber bullets. @CBSNews is still here. https://t.co/aZunMispF4
Today, I reported to Congress that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China, given facts on the ground. The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong.
‼️WOW‼️ Bruce Aylward/@WHO did an interview with HK's @rthk_news & when asked about #Taiwan he pretended not to hear the question. The journalist asks again & he hangs up!
She calls back & he said "Well, we've already talked about China."
ENJOY+SHARE THE MADNESS! #CoronaVirus
Is it how Hong Kong police treat female journalists? An independent media has reported that my friend @_jasmineleung_ from NBC TV Network was groped by an officer and later pepper-sprayed when she asked for his police ID. It is intolerable. #HongKongProtests#antiELAB
@GERonAsia If she knows what dialogue means, she would not have lost the trust of millions of HK people and still talking to you, she would have resigned as a chief executive of a government accountable to its people. Really disappointed at the support you give her.
Credit growth way up in December -- confirming how worried Beijing is about the rapid Q3 slowdown -- with an awful lot of that occurring outside the banks. I expect that sometime in April or May Beijing will once again be more worried about rising credit than slowing GDP.
I can't believe the Hong Kong government is spouting this nonsense. "A free, open and welcoming society" as the authorities just turned me away at the Hong Kong airport so I wouldn't hold a @HRW press conference about Beijing's assault on human rights.
This is a first-hand photograph of #HKPF operating within @UKinHongKong Consulate territory AGAIN today.
Why is this being allowed to happen @DominicRaab@BorisJohnson - we understand no formal@invitation was issued.
Scenes of protesters wading through clouds of tear gas or clashing with riot police have become sadly familiar in Hong Kong. But battles in the streets aren’t the only thing spreading fear among protesters.
Sexual violence is, too. https://t.co/QYbVLIZgc3
