1/ Hanging a Sword of Damocles over civil society, the law criminalizes all international advocacy, criticisms on the Beijing and Hong Kong governments, and all oppositions to controversial legislations in the future.
2/ Even for street activism, those who chanted “Long Live Liverpool” were framed as inciting Hong Kong independence, while others that put “FreeHK” and “Conscience” stickers on phones were arrested for “inciting subversion” during yesterday’s demonstration.
3/ Since China’s red lines were freshly imposed upon the city overnight, it still needs more time to figure it out. However, beyond any doubts, Hongkongers will continue our fight and never surrender, just as tens of thousands of the city’s demonstrators showed yesterday.
4/ Just like the Be Water spirit during the Hong Kong movements last year, forms of resistances need to evolve under new political circumstances. One of the approaches would be to continue our political advocacy in a personal capacity.
5/ My friend @nathanlawkc had attended the hearing of the US Congress's Foreign Affairs Committee to call attention to the erosion of liberty and threats under the new law. By whatever means possible, Hongkongers will carry on our fight.
6/ What we strive to work on now is that if our voice cannot be heard soon, we still hope that the world could speak louder and to defend democracy with more concrete and forceful efforts.
