When #Beijing expelled 3 major US media outlets @nytimes, @WSJ & @washingtonpost to stop foreign media coverage on #HK & #China, Reuters reports at least 4000 top internal security forces, the PAP, have been joining #hkpolice on the frontlines, according to diplomat sources.
1/ The report echoes #hongkongers’ observation that many #mandarin-speaking officials have given commands to #hkpolice on the frontlines and taken place in the crackdowns of protests.
2/ Together with the expanding Chinese troops PLA in the city, #CCP is now deploying the largest security deployment in #HK, with 12000-strong forces. Both PAP and PLA are under the direct command of resident #Xijinping.
3/ The deployment bluntly breaches the city’s autonomy under #1country2systems, since our Basic Law stipulates that no department of #China may interfere in the affairs of HK. With 1.2K forces deployed to Asian Financial Hub, HK is under massive military control from #Beijing.
4/ Not to mention that PAP was used to suppress uprisings in Xinjiang and Tibet. When it is expected protests will resume ahead of local legislative elections in September, it is doubtless that #Beijing will take a strong-arm policy this time.
5/ I hope the world can keep watch on the situation in HK. I also call on US @StateDept to list out effective human rights sanction mechanisms in the forthcoming report on HK, as a way to send a warning signal to #China to stem further infringement of autonomy & human rights.
