"Hong Kong will never again be the city that many citizens and foreigners remember from not so long ago," Robert Keatley writes. https://t.co/yyJNbDxZnz

[Nikkei Asia @NikkeiAsia]

"The biggest emigration boom in Hong Kong's history" has arrived, and business are cashing in, helping people head for the exit.

The protesters on trial in Hong Kong don't just represent democracy—they represent a wide swath of Hong Kong itself, @TMclaughlin3 writes.

Evidence of China’s heavy hand is all around Hong Kong, from shuttered storefronts to barricaded buildings

As the Foreign Secretary recently pointed out, Belarus, Hong Kong, Myanmar and Russia have all brutally restricted protest. Do we really want to be aligned with authoritarian regimes like those? @susannahbutter https://t.co/zKx0J49zA6

🇨🇳 China dismantles Hong Kong's democracy.

In the latest video from @Policy_Ed, @HooverInst Senior Fellow @LarryDiamond explains how China is systematically destroying Hong Kong’s autonomy, democracy, and rule of law. Watch the video here: https://t.co/PSE3THoJes

The US and international community continue to stand as one to defend the rights and dignity of the Uyghur people against China's campaign of human rights abuses that also targets journalists, human rights lawyers, and the people of Tibet and Hong Kong.

[Miriam M. Lexmann @MiriamMLex]

The reality today is that the Chinese Communist Party is responsible for the worst human rights abuses since the #Tiananmen massacre.
This is why yesterday’s sanctions were important & why it is now necessary to extend sanctions to those responsible for the situation in HongKong

[Neil Coyle @coyleneil]

Sanctions must go much further. From Xinjiang to Hong Kong, the Communist Party is attacking the good people of China.

[Stephen Kinnock @SKinnock]

We've pushed the UK govt into sanctioning Chinese govt officials in Xinjiang, but not yet Hong Kong.

Tomorrow, at 10am, I’ll be joined by @siobhain_mc and @tedhuichifung for a roundtable discussion on how @UKLabour will #StandWithHongKong.

Hong Kong today. Taiwan tomorrow. And then the rest of the world. I know it sounds so much old time Cold War rhetoric. But I honestly believe that we are at a cross road, where the democratic countries has to stand up and defend the freedom of Taiwan.#IPAC https://t.co/sUGWdvSvyF

[Rep. Mark Green @RepMarkGreen]

The #CCP is working to exterminate the presence of Uighur culture and religion by incarcerating over 1 million Uighur people in concentration camps. While these sanctions are a first step to holding China accountable, I urge the Biden Admin to take more aggressive action.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority @HouseForeignGOP]

LR @RepMcCaul: "The #CCP cannot continue to kidnap innocent people as political pawns. We stand with our Canadian allies calling for the immediate release of Michael Spavor & Michael Kovrig. Subjecting them to sham trials during #Anchorage talks transparently shows CCP cruelty."

[Ambassador Mike Waltz @michaelgwaltz]

American companies have turned a blind eye to the #CCP's abuse of basic human rights while also preaching corporate social responsibility. 

Olympic sponsors MUST stand up against #China’s genocide by demanding the IOC to move the games from Beijing. #BoycottBeijing2022

[Kate Osamor MP @KateOsamor]

I recently wrote to the Minister for Asia, @SelbyAinstyMP asking him what actions the Government is taking to ensure that forced Uyghur labour in China is eliminated from UK supply chains.

His response was not reassuring.

[CityNews Vancouver @CityNewsVAN]

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is calling on China to immediately release Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, who have been detained on spying charges since December of 2018 https://t.co/eadrqCNrsF
