@AmChamHK These same companies do not hesitate to virtue signal their support on social media and portray themselves to be the paragons of social justice.
But in HK many of these US companies and orgs (ie American Chamber of Commerce) are blue ribbons who refuse to acknowledge our voices.

@AmChamHK “Business people in HK said they were already aware of the risks, and complained that the advisory made it harder for them to convince their head offices of the continuing benefits of operating in the territory.”

@AmChamHK It's sad to see that US businesses have no problem with satisfying #CCPChina🇨🇳 but only voice out when the US makes them choose between the two.
