People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people. That is what democracy should be.

🚨 One week from today, Xi Jinping arrives in Washington, DC.

@POTUS must condemn the recent sentencing of #HongKong Tiananmen vigil leaders Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan and Albert Ho, and call for their immediate and unconditional release.

“习近平本人其实也在违反国安法，因为他将与特朗普总统合作并会面，”美国国会暨行政当局中国委员会 @CECCgov 共同主席克里斯·史密斯9月16日在该委员会举行的一场声援黎智英的听证会上说，这说明该法律有多荒谬，仅仅与外国人接触就可能被追究责任。今年78岁的香港《苹果日报》创办人黎智英今年2月因“串谋勾结外国势力”等涉及国安法的罪名，被香港法院判处20年监禁。

Thank you to everyone who joined our protest against China’s new exit/entry rules, which require no conviction, indictment, or even an investigation—CCP-defined “suspicion” is enough. We stand against repression and for democracy, freedom, and human rights.

[Pon @usa_somewhere]

On Sept 15, 2026, China’s new Exit & Entry regulations take effect. Join us in protesting this unjust rule. We, The Democracy Party of China, demand:
1. Freedom to leave China for all.
2. No family-based pressure.
3. End cross-border intimidation.

I agree. Hong Kong has become an ordinary Chinese city— unfree and totalitarian.

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

Hong Kong is off the front pages. The city is now an "ordinary" Chinese city -- unfree, totalitarian. But remember its political prisoners, including Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong. I have written a piece on the latter. He turns 30 next month. A great man. https://t.co/TSuIQzxOfl

A 61yo has been charged with/ #sedition in #HongKong for displaying “seditious” materials outside her flat in Tin Shui Wai in 2024. She’s been remanded to a psychiatric facility pending trial.
Now, in all, 71 have been prosecuted for sedition in HK.

Thank you to everyone who came and joined our “Democracy Is Not a Crime” protest against the HK government’s treatment of Joshua Wong. We stand in solidarity with all those who continue to fight for democracy and freedom in HK. Seeking democracy is never a crime.

[Pon @usa_somewhere]

Come join us to stand with Joshua Wong. Democracy is not a crime - it is a fundamental right that deserves to be protected. Together, we can raise our voices for freedom, justice and democracy. FREE HONG KONG!

[Pon @usa_somewhere]

Thanks to everyone who joined us in showing your support. It’s time to end the CCP’s one-party dictatorship. Free Hong Kong is more than a slogan, it’s a message we must continue sharing through our protests and unwavering support for freedom, democracy, and the people of HK.

[Pon @usa_somewhere]

What the hell is that? Hong Kong used to be a place on Chinese soil that permitted public vigils to moan those who died on the fourth of June in 1989. Now it’s a crime in Hong Kong even to hold a candle to remember the Tiananmen Square massacre. Free Hong Kong!

Please come and join us in expressing our support for Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung. In Hong Kong, peaceful expression has been criminalized as subversion. It is deeply shameful that the HK government has allowed this to happen.
Stand with HK. Hong Kong Independence!

[Pon @usa_somewhere]

Shame on the Hong Kong government for its systematic crackdown on political freedoms and civil liberties under national security legislation! FREE HONG KONG!

[Hong Kong Democracy Council @hkdc_us]

France, Germany, the UK, the US, the EU & Taiwan have all condemned the convictions of Chow Hang-tung & Lee Cheuk-yan in Hong Kong.

A 23yo has plead guilty to "inciting subversion" under the NSL in #HongKong for 118 social media posts in 2024-25 recruiting for the Revive the Republic of China Freedom Party in Taiwan, calling for downfall of CCP, containing "Glory to HK" song, etc. Sentencing Jul 20.

[Hong Kong Democracy Council @hkdc_us]

Today's the 6th anniversary of the CCP's imposition of the #HongKong national security law. At least 403 people have been arrested for "endangering national security" & 212 charged. 70 were arrested in the past year but, worryingly, identities & charges of >30 weren't made public
