Could you speak a bit more about how HK context relates to a global context, and to liberties that are threatened internationally?

1/ In recent years, autocratic regimes like have China started to extend their tentacles worldwide, towards the retreat of global democracy.
2/ With its swelling economic clout, China pressures the business world to take its side; attacks critics of its human-rights abuses, such as ‘re-education camps’ for Uyghurs; and jeopardises universities’ autonomy through the Confucius Institute programme.
3/ All these imperil the civil liberties that global democracies rest upon. In our global battle against tyranny, HK is at the forefront. The HK movement demonstrates the possibility of saying no to authoritarianism.
4/ To hold these global human rights abusers to account, Hongkongers also call on the wider world to put forward an effective human-rights sanction regime.
5/ *Standing with Hong Kong: An Interview with Joshua Wong, authors of #UnfreeSpeech, discuss free speech in Hong Kong, coronavirus, and the role of literature in campaigning for global democracy: pentransmissions.com/2020/03/31/sta…
