2/4: Few expected Hongkongers to unite as one at the frontlines of a global fight against CCP influence. No one anticipated these be-water protests to reshape the future of global political climate. This was the beginning of what has now become a year-long battle.
3/4: Hongkongers shall march on in defiance, while remaining hopeful for liberation. We must meet the increasing suppression with both valour and wisdom. We have sacrificed and bled, but our loss needs to be worth its while.
Be water, my friend.
4/4: Fighting on all fronts, HKers will take to the streets, keep pushing back against red capital, empower labour through trade unions & engage with the world through citizen diplomacy.
We shall sit tight, brave the turbulence ahead, win to survive & write our future as HKers.

2/n: China will exercise its jurisdiction when the it’s difficult for the SAR to do so due to the complexity in foreign interference; when the SAR is unable to enforce the law or when national security is seriously endangered (i.e. whenever they want cos that’s awfully vague).
3/n: Defednants will be tried in *mainland courts* according to *mainland law* in cases which China has jurisdiction over.
