[Support our Thai fellows in their fight for democracy]
1. #Hongkongers will never forget how our Thai fellows stood with us against #China’s nationalist trolls during #nnevvy saga and spoke up for us amid #Beijing’s authoritarian suppression in #HK. #MilkTeaAlliance

2. Now, this is time for us to support them back since we are both fighting for democracy, liberty and a bright future without fear. People's voices should be respected and heard, but not suppressed and silenced.
3. That is the shared destiny for youths worldwide amid democratic backlashes - We want our democracy back. We want our future back.

[The statement by Chinese Embassy Bangkok is sheer arrogance and ignorance.]
1/ It is indisputable that the #nnevvy saga was provoked by the Chinese nationalist trolls, by firstly doxing, insulting and demeaning the Thai celebrities and people in Thailand.

2/ Even after the heroic victory & creative memes by Thai people, China has not yet given any single word of apology for its reckless behaviour. The twitter war perfectly shows how China uses its economic muscle & irrational trolls to bend other countries to its autocratic will.
3/ When Twitter is blocked in China, China thinks that they can play same old trick & suppress Thai people’s critics. It carries implications for future 🇹🇭-🇨🇳 cooperation. Once cooperating with other countries, China will entirely disregard public opinion in other democracies.
หลังศึก #nnevvy ดำเนินต่อเนื่องถึงวันที่ 4 เพจสถานทูตจีนระบุ "ฝ่ายจีนยืนหยัดคัดค้านบุคคลใดที่แสดงความคิดเห็นที่ผิดพลาดต่อหลักการจีนเดียว" พร้อมตำหนิ "คนบางกลุ่ม" วางแผนมุ่งร้าย ยุแยงทำให้ผู้คนผิดใจกัน ซึ่งจะไม่มีทางประสบความสำเร็จอย่างแน่นอน prachatai.com/journal/2020/0… #China

Brutal war crime: a Chinese wumao suffered from PTSD after losing #nnevyy meme war with #Thailand episode 2
Translation:"STOP! I can't let this "ThaihumiliateChina" thing affect me and waste my time! I do hope the authority will step out and do some control!... (1/3)

...I just can't understand why, after they humiliate us like this, Sina(Weibo's owner) still stop #nnevvy from trending??! I want justice, but ... I may be dreaming!!!"...(2/3)
...FYI: Lots of Wumaos intended to incite and assemble other Wumaos to join the fight, by posting memes made by Thailanders on Weibo. But since those memes often contain caricatures of Xi Jinping or Chinese flag, Sina keeps censoring them with other #nnevvy related content.(3/3)
What I love about the pan-Asian solidarity of the #nnevvy meme: it posits the existence of an updated lens for English use in Asia, even where English is a colonial legacy. It moves away from linguistic imperialism and towards subaltern linguistics: appropriation and empowerment.
#Taiwan #Thailand #HongKong #Vietnam #Philippines #India #Malaysia etc teamed up with #nnevvy English to take on #China trolls. That it was English isn’t neutral and wasn’t pre-ordained but the source of linguistic imperialism in Asia is increasingly Mandarin, not English.
That there were “mistakes” but nobody cared (as they shouldn’t) shows that subaltern linguistic empowerment is about parole - language in performance. Not language as a system.
2. Four years ago, I went to Bangkok for speaking events at Chulalongkorn University and Thammasat University. But the Thai government blacklisted me at Beijing's request and detained me from Suvarnabhumi Airport for over 12 hours. hongkongfp.com/2016/10/06/jos…
3. I had no access to my phone or a lawyer. Communication was difficult, and the authorities kept replying "no" to my questions. I distinctly remember one of them telling me: "You should know this is Thailand, just like China, not the same as Hong Kong."
So if anyone is wondering about the bizarre social media battle that has erupted between Chinese ultranationalistsand Thai democrats, here is a quick explainer from academic @JBuchananBKK 1/3
Among the ironies are that Twitter is banned in China, but presumably the Chinese attack accounts were state sponsored or given permission to use Twitter, and a lot of the Chinese social media attacks focused on saying King Vajiralongkorn is a ridiculous buffoon. 2/3
So the whole saga is just another embarrassment for the embattled Vajiralongkorn.

Pro-democracy Thais are finding the Chinese abuse of Vajiralongkorn very entertaining. 🍿
