A Primer on CCP Transnational Repression of Hong Kongers

During Xi Jinping’s visit to San Francisco last week, CCP supporters &/or agents assaulted protesters at 1) St Regis Hotel, where Xi stayed; 2) Hyatt Regency, where US business execs feted Xi; 3) the SF airport. Abundant documentation of multiple assaults, threats & other forms of intimidation by CCP supporters &/or agents against Tibetan & Hong Kong protesters can be found in the Twitter feeds of @SFTHQ @AnnaKwokFY @carmenkamanlau @choosechemi @hkdc_us & others.

Sun afternoon, PRC consulate, Manchester: people from consulate exited gate to tear down satirical Xi Jinping pic, then dragged protesters inside compound & roughed them up before police arrived & separated them. No arrests reported. This is the satirical picture that protesters exhibited outside Manchester PRC consulate & people from consulate apparently took exception to. We deplore their attack on protesters on UK territory.

.@stripe's told 3 #HongKong protesters trying to crowdfund HK$600,000 to pay legal costs that they can't use its services because they're "too high-risk." This just days after @PayPal terminated League of Social Democrats' account for a similar reason.
inmediahk.net/node/%E7%A4%BE… Image International businesses like @PayPal & @stripe mustn't further persecute the #HongKong government's political opponents. These 3 protesters & LSD are acting lawfully & within their rights. To heap insult upon injury like this is corporate collusion with the authoritarian regime.

"We write with deep concern regarding reports that @zoom_us Zoom, a US-based company, deactivated accounts of two U.S.-based, pro-democracy Chinese activists after they held a Zoom meeting on the June 4th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre. Your company has admitted that- -it did so at the request of the Chinese government to comply with the laws of the People's Republic of China (PRC), because some of the participants resided inside the PRC. Zoom also shut down the account of Hong Kong activist Lee Cheuk-yan, potentially for a similar reason.
