These wired fences, increasingly installed everywhere by the Hong Kong government, are a metaphor of the absolute control the #CCP🇨🇳 demands over its subjects.
Just disgraceful
I hope @JustinWelby will consider how the Church of England responds, given that it is a shareholder in @HSBC

No more arrests reported from #HongKong today so far. By feeling how the last wave of arrests influenced my condition, i cant imagin what it means for the great People living there. We cant allowe fear to win. The fight for #Freedom must go on ❣ #StandWithHongKong 🇩🇪❤️🇭🇰
"It would be naïve to think that a determined human rights policy vis-à-vis China will be either easy or painless — standing up for human rights rarely comes without a cost. "
No more waiting: The time has come to fight for Hong Kong

[After activists’ arrests, #CCP now targets religious groups]
1 #Breaking: Following its crackdown on political figures, #Beijing now turns its eyes to churches. #HKpolice reportedly even raided 3 hostels for the homeless today run by Good Neighbour North District Church today.
Huawei has tested facial recognition software that could send automated “Uighur alarms” to 🇨🇳 authorities when its camera systems identify members of the oppressed minority group, according to an internal document detailing China’s AI surveillance regime.

A big data program for policing in Xinjiang arbitrarily selects Uighurs for possible detention. Analysis of the leaked list strongly suggests that the vast majority of the people flagged by the system are detained for everyday lawful, non-violent behavior.

Soon after Agnes, Ivan, Joshua's jail sentences were handed out, #CCP🇨🇳 arrests @JimmyLaiApple for “illegal use of his company's premises”
Jimmy Lai will be detained until a court hearing in April next year. Basically, already serving his prison sentence.

1. It’s devastating to witness three of my former colleagues, Joshua, Agnes, Ivan are jailed. The sentencing is absurd. Retweet if you have the same demands:
1.Immediate release of the trio
2.Stop prosecuting under National Security Law
3.Sanction accountable govt officials
Joshua Wong received 13.5 months behind bars, Agnes Chow 10 months and Ivan Lam 7 months
Before being escorted out of court, Joshua shouted to his supporters: “I know the road ahead is tough, but I will hang in there.”
“Add oil!” the crowd shouted back.

The bullying of #Australia by the Chinese Communist Party is extremely shortsighted. Politicians around the world are watching. And they don’t like what they see. It is entirely predictable that the #UK will be next in line. Threats will not go down well & speed up decoupling.
#JoshuaWong’s first letter from prison
1. Though I've been in prison three times, solitary confinement is far beyond my expectation. It's indeed hard to endure, but as many #hkprotesters face lawsuits/imprisonment like me, I hope you continue letting them know they are not alone
