1/ Congratulations to #Taiwan’s new President #TsaiIngWen @iingwen and also #DPP @DPPonline under her lead! 👏🏻#Taiwan2020 #TaiwanElection
2/ Also glad to know many young politicians can successfully take seats in the legislature, such as #DPP’s Lai Pin-yu, Hong Shen-hang, #TSP’s Chen Bo-wei, and Independent @FreddyLim. Unfortunately, it is really pity that @enoch_tw can't make it this time.
3/ Today is the day for the majority of #Taiwaneses to choose their fate, to safeguard their democracy and freedoms, and most importantly, to say no to #CCP's authoritarian invasion. People of #Taiwan also show the world their defiance of #Beijing’s lie of #onecountrytwosystems.
4/ Tonight is also the precious moment for #Hongkongers. #HongKongProtests have shown China’s intolerance to dissidence an d freedoms, and #Taiwaneses have defended their lovely island with their votes.
5/ Both as the forefront of the free world, #Hongkong and #Taiwan will continue to work as the closest allies in fighting against #China’s intimidation.

1/ Arrested on August 30, my phone was seized by #hkpolice. The phone can only be unlocked with passwords. Before court resumed yesterday, I have NEVER provided any passwords to #police, nor received any notice nor warrant for a search of my mobile device.
2/ However, #hkpolice yesterday submitted an evidence list, which allegedly included 4 text messages of mine from iPhone XR. Police can even identify how the messages were sent out, whether it's from a mobile or desktop version of the app.
3/ Since such functions can't be found on ordinary user interface, that can only be possible with the help of state-sponsored hacking. It's utterly alarming that police begins to hack mobile devices of #HKers, just like #China hacking iPhones & Android devices to target #Uyghurs.

[Climate change & HK - China is reacting similarly to both]

1/ @GretaThunberg was named #TIMEPOY by the @TIME. She's a Swedish Schoolgirl that inspired #FridaysForFuture against climate change. She's regarded as the figure of the power of youth, and inspired many, including me.
2/ I applaud for her statement “We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow.” There is a future where Greta and I will live long enough to see, and we are responsible to shape it into a desirable one.
3/ When world cheer & appalled for youth standing up against threats of climate change or dictatorship, we actually all play a role in the fights. No man is an island. We 're all living here today, and we will be living here tmr as well. It's not only up to the youngsters.

🇮🇹 1/ The Chinese government has been quite critical of my speech at the Italian parliament, calling the Italian government "irresponsible". I think China's criticism is completely out of reason and shows no respect to the basic freedoms of people from other democracies.
2/ It is clear that China is its authoritarian regime and political censorship to Italy. The Beijing authority is utterly ignorant of the will of Hong Kong people and deliberately distort the demands of over millions of people.
3/ As latest polls, over 80% of the city population support democracy. Even the ex-head of legislature Jasper Tsang supports the need for political reform. The landslide victory of election is another proof. I urge Beijing to honour its promise of true and fair democracy in HK.

It's #TaiwanElection day here in #Taiwan, the last bastion of democracy in the Chinese speaking world. Long queues since 8am at the voting stations in #taipei
Hearing a lot of "韩国瑜" at this voting station in #Taipei #TaiwanElection
Looks like the polling station I was at isn't a representative enough sample. Thanks goodness.

It’s election eve in Taiwan! 18.8 million voters are eligible to go to the polls tomorrow to decide Taiwan’s next president and legislature.

Tweet storm follows about Election Day procedures in #taiwanelection
As in every #Taiwanelection, the election is held on a Saturday, and polls will be open from 8-4pm.

Polling places are typically public buildings: schools, community centers, etc., w/in easy walking distance.

There is usually one polling station for every 1500-3000 voters.
Voter rolls are finalized a couple months ahead of the election, and drawn from household registration manifests.

So everyone has to return to vote in the precinct where their household is registered, even if it’s not where they live.
