Starting a thread of various videos today in HK and Shenzhen as the world’s strongest storm #TyphoonManghkut wiping our cities. (Videos are not mine but collected from messages doing the rounds w WhatsApp and WeChat)
Someone’s apartment in the east side of HK
Shek’O beach
High rise building swinging in #TyphoonManghkut #HK
When the warning says stay inside, stay inside. #TyphoonManghkut #HK
Shenzhen Meishawan Hotel #TyphoonManghkut
Lost cargos in Shenzhen #TyhoonMangkhut
East side of HK. Water surge #TyphoonManghkut
Hopefully all confidential documents are locked inside safes. #TyphoonManghkut #HK
Keep denying #ClimateChange, keep take no actions, people! #TyphoonManghkut #HK
A crane just came down #TyphoonManghkut #HK
Could’ve been a footage from #BladeRunner2049 #TyhoonMangkhut
Shenzhen
Many trees have fallen. It’s crazy to drive in this condition. #TyhoonMangkhut #HK
An office tower in Hung Hom. As I’m posting my own building is moving. The storm is screaming outside. I’m never this terrified. Hope everyone stay safe. 🙏🌏 #TyphoonManghkut #HK
Highest respect to HK’s firefighters going through street to street right now cutting and cleaning fallen trees and brunches in the middle of #TyhoonMangkhut This is terrifying but #HK will be back to normal tomorrow. I ❤️ this city.
What is more concerning than shaking buildings is that #TyhoonMangkhut will directly hit #YangJiangNuclear Power Plant tonight at 190kmh this early evening. If damages or leaks we would have to evacuate. 🙏🙏🌏🙏
There goes someone’s yacht. I heard many yachts have sunken or been smashed to the shore. 😥#TyphoonManghkut #HK
Tornado in Yuen Long. Hope no one got hurt. Unclear the damage and where was the flash happened when the tornado passed. #TyphoonManghkut #HK
Savage #HebeHaven #HK #TyphoonManghkut

Here is a different angle of the crane came down. Hope nobody was hurt. Watch it with sound. We are still surrounded by this sound. #TyhoonMangkhut #HK
Aftermath for some of #HK’s boat owners. #TyphoonManghkut
A multimillion yacht floating free.. #TyhoonMangkhut

My thread yesterday re #TyphoonMangkhut went viral. Impossible to reply all so here is a general 👇

To all the kind concerned people: we are all safe. Back to work today.

To media: we r not defined by the disaster we encounter, but how we encounter it. Report that too pls. 1/
2/ to the #ClimateChange deniers who attacked me: keep sleep walking, geniuses.

To many who don’t know HK: the typhoon didn’t cut off our gas, electricity, internet. Everything worked fine. The first responders started 2 work during the typhoon. #HK is bouncing back already.
3/ To the people of #HK: i wasn’t born nor brought up here, but HK is home. There is no other place I can think of w such ability to bounce back w efficiency, resilience, & amazing work ethics. Our city has lagged behind in the last years but I’m profoundly proud & bullish #HK.

It’s 9am. Still windy, but #TyphoonManghkut has passed. Since my THEAD yesterday abt the typhoon went viral, I now would like to show how amazing this city is: efficient, undeterred, hardworking, resilient. Fellow HKers pls feel free to add to this thread! #HKSpirit
People lining up for bus to go to work 12 hours after the worst storm in the world this year hit this city. #HKSpirit
Workers (mostly women) got up early to clean off the debris and fallen brunches to ensure an early recovery for smooth traffic. #HKSpirit

@katherineykwu I get into such arguments with westerners routinely as well, most of them have not spent much time in China at all. @naval is very insightful but on this argument he’s flawed. China now has 1bn smartphone users. For many startups to spread their innovations - 1/
To the province next door w same language & similar markets makes more commercial sense than going overseas. Most of the western innovations are originated in a much smaller market so to spread beyond national boundaries is inate and needed. 2/
I also think it’s easier for people to learn something new than to unlearn something old. The narrative of China copying/ imitating the west or Japan/Korea etc was true some years ago. The rapid transformation is hard for most to grasp, especially those who observe in distance.

Yesterday's indictment is a major signal that we're nearing the end of the #TrumpRussia prologue.

I interviewed @Mimirocah1 about the story which she said indicates that "prosecutors are putting the pieces together."

I agree.

Here's my $0.02.

Why is Natalia Veselnitskaya's link to the Kremlin so important?

1 - SDNY provides Mueller with apolitical evidence sent from the target that predates all investigations.
2 - Proves Don Jr. met a Kremlin Agent
3 - Burns the Russian prosecution against @Billbrowder

2/
Natalia Veselnitskaya had been working on the Prevezon case for years, but in 2014 she involved herself drafting of the official response to the DoJ's invocation of a treaty for legal assistance.

She sent the evidence that she worked with the Kremlin to SDNY prosecutors.

How CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana compromised the security and lives of millions of Indians under the #SmartCities project by collaborating with shady foreign spy firms who could now exploit our sensitive police data & other realtime info.
gginews.in/picture-intell…
Rakesh Asthana then Police Commissioner was involved in deploying very sensitive Forensic Criminal Investigation Sys requiring real-time intelligence gathering working in sync with police database. Given the nature of work & risks involved it must be handeled carefully. Was it?
“The Face Recognition System & Forensic Criminal Investigation System can offer our police department the much required real-time intelligence to ensure safety of our city and its citizens. We can now proudly say that Surat Safe City is India’s first Safe City.”

Gemalto has apologised for publishing erroneous report on Aadhaar data breach. But why would a world class firm mislead the people of India? What has Gemalto to gain from it? Does Gemalto has stakes in #Aadhaar? Lets see which journalist has the courage to report this.
To understand whats really going on you must first know the background of Gemalto and where it comes from, that would bring things into clear perspective. Then we would address the Aadhaar issue and how the People of India is being mislead by UIDAI.
