Bravo, #Singapore, for reminding us that being ethnically Chinese and Chinese nationals are two very different things. Speaking the #Chinese language and loving Chinese food doesn't make you Chinese, not to mention a #CCP #China loyalist. And if you have a problem with that differentiation, renounce your Singaporean / British / Australian / Canadian / American citizenship and get yourself a Chinese passport.
Snubbing a cardinal who stands up for #humanrights and begging a murderer who allows churches to be burned, just… wow. #Vatican #PopeFrancis #JosephZen #nationalsecuritylaw #hongkong #china #ccp
We're laughing but it's actually not funny. The simplest expression of playing a song in #HongKong is now criminal, and so are thoughts. #CCP is also moving quickly on wiping our history, renaming our schools and streets and institutions in the name of "de-colonization". Public opinion? It has no part to play.

#LizTruss is playing the #China card. Not to say that her points are invalid, but we will have to see if there will be actual action now that she is PM, and how long she could last in the position.

Also, crackdowns have been going on in #HongKong for literally years. #UK has been saying that the #SinoBritishJointDeclaration is legally binding and that #CCP has broken it, so, where's the legal action to hold them responsible? #HongKongers are very grateful for the lifeboats, but let's not pretend that's an adequate response to CCP's brutal breach of an international contract. We haven't even mentioned the atrocities in #Xinjiang and #Tibet, and military threats in #Taiwan yet.

This is not a post recounting the details of the #UmbrellaRevolution so much as what it stood for and how it informed the #fightforfreedom in #HongKong. For years, #HKers had been struggling to defend our rights and values from the #CCP. The #UmbrellaMovement in 2014 was for many an awakening to the root cause of the social problems in #HK - the lack of a popularly mandated government as ours was (and is) but a #Beijing puppet.

The experience of 2014 produced the now much more mainstream indigenous ideology and inspired new protest tactics in 2019. Hong Kong has never stopped evolving to cope with challenges and does not intend to stop now. "Be water", the city-wide pro-democracy movement in 2019 taught us, even though it may be dark and the suffering ahead seem endless, don't lose heart. We will remember who we are, what we stand for, persevere and outlive the tyrant.
