Hong Kong woke up this morning to ~50 arrests under the national security law, netting the city's most prominent pro-democracy activists, voices like Jeffrey Andrews who have long fought for ethnic minorities, and even a pollster:

If you think socialism is the way to go, read this. It is what happens when government empowers itself and not the people. #FreeHongKong#StandWithHongKong https://t.co/4jJxioSfWE
These Canadian heroes are cherished and not forgotten. The service & sacrifice of Canadians in #HongKong during WWII is an important part of the reason why Canadians care deeply about the liberties of Hong Kongers today. 🇨🇦🇭🇰
Incredible outpouring of support for human rights!
Together we will continue fighting for human rights and freedom and continue shedding light on the atrocities of Communist China. The international community should join us to #stopBeijing2022. #standwithHongKong.
The CCP is so desperate for a scapegoat for the Hong Kong protests that it’s falsely blaming organizations like @IRIglobal, which no longer has an office in HK. These sanctions are disingenuous and the CCP is clearly threatened by the existence of NGOs that promote democracy.
China using DNA samples to map Uighur faces as part of persecution campaign. #CCP is quickly building a techno-authoritarian dystopia.
This is the global future under a hegemonic China. US & allies need to be 100% focused on blocking that possibility.

The people of Hong Kong are right to stand up to Communist China and fight for freedom.
We hear your cries for democracy and are doing our part to hold China accountable for their acts of violence against protestors.
Thank you @marcorubio@SenatorRisch for your leadership.
Said Sir Malcolm Rifkind: "Hong Kong's Chief Executive has the responsibility to do everything possible to prevent a massacre." I sign on to this statement.
BREAKING: Sir Malcolm Rifkind, Lord Alton and Baroness Bennett call Carrie Lam to order HKPF to exercise restraint at PolyU. #StandwithHK

This is very simple.
#HongKong autonomy is the reason the U.S. treats it differently than mainland #China.
If Beijing moves to take away autonomy there is no longer any rationale for special treatment. https://t.co/ZhPzUk5tbr
In the UK @TomTugendhat is the only politician who gets it when it comes to mainland China & Hong Kong.
No wonder, given his background as a former intelligence expert in the British army.
When will other British politicians wake up? @jeremycorbyn@joswinson@NicolaSturgeon
My question to politicians, diplomats, academics and media professionals: What actually has to happen in mainland China and Hong Kong for you to take action? @BorisJohnson@DominicRaab @HCNicHailey @bueti@StvlL@FGodement
