Two+ cents on trump 0.2 from a European Hongkonger who voted in 🇭🇰 HK's potemkin elections in 2019:

After the city-wide pro-democracy protests erupted in June 2019 against ☭🇨🇳 CCP's relentless erosion of the autonomy and civil rights it had "promised"(*) to Hong Kong in the 1984 handover treaty with the 🇬🇧 United Kingdom, millions of people had peacefully marched for their civil rights for months when in November 2019 Hong Kong held its last semi-open local elections.

In the District Council elections of 2019, with many prominent democracts already banned from standing or already jailed, the pro-democracy camp still won majority popular vote in.... every single one of the 18 districts.

Every. Single. One. 👈️

Despite the CCP having funneled billions into its countless front organizations over the decades (even under the British rule before 1997) and all local billionaires ("tycoons") backing the CCP, except one: the publisher of the only remaining pro-democracy paper the Apple Daily tabloid Jimmy Lai. (He's since been languishing in a 19th century style gaol exposed to the elements for years now and has already gotten frail...)

Unlike the American public that didn't make a stand against deranged and violent autocracy — not once but *twice* now — Hongkongers used every peaceful means to stand up for their rights, only to be crushed by one of the key despots threatening a repressive global redivision of power: The Chinese Communist Party under its helmsman cum fuhrer Xi Jinping.

A globally known young democracy activist Joshua Wong later tried to enter the local US consulate to seek political asylum... The trump 0.1 admin just turned him down. He's also been isolated in a 19th century gaol for years now, and will remain incarcerated indefinitely... 😡️

👉️ With the USA now in the camp of the collaborating and horsetrading 19th century style imperialists and despots, the world is in for its most dangerous years since the global warfare of the WWII. 💥

With the US-fucking-A on the side of the despots! So, thanks again to all Americans who either supported this insanity or didn't bother lifting a finger when they had the chance... to vote... in November. Perhaps one last time like Hongkongers did in November 2019. 🖕

Also, fuck everyone in the Free World who still refuses to see the global war against democratic values and normalizes, appeases or collaborates with the enemies of the long-forgotten United Nations' ideals of universal #humanrights. 🖕

Thanks for reading.

(*) The CCP *never* honours any of its treaties if it benefits from breaching or breaking them. It can simply rewrite its official history and those treaties out of it; see CCP's "17-Point Agreement" which it imposed on the Tibetan government after PLA invaded in 1950. Likewise the 1984 treay with the UK was, after CCP took over in 1997, ridiculed simply as a "historical document", not a treaty. 😡️

"survey by Schroeder’s tt found the average #Hongkonger faces a US$307,298 #gap btw their expected post-retirement #expenses & the money available in their #pension funds. Almost 75% (😨!) of the 1,000 Mandatory #ProvidentFund members surveyed believe they will need to continue working beyond the expected #retirement age to make ends meet.. Many Hongkongers are in #survival mode & the #stress tt comes with that has gravely affected our mental #health"

Excellent diaspora initiative: @V4HK_UK gets out the #HongKonger vote in the UK, targeting seats where HKers can affect the result & calling for tougher China policy. By year end 180,000 HKers are expected to settle in the UK; 100-140,000 eligible to vote. https://www.ft.com/content/90477190-32c1-4ca5-9ca3-6604e6f3ff62 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1722952925675237634#m

@CECCgov RT by @hkdc_us: In his meeting with PRC Foreign Minister Wang Yi today, @SecBlinken must raise the cases of #Uyghurs, #HongKonger, #Tibetans, and other political prisoners unjustly detained in China, including American citizens like #KaiLi, #MarkSwidan and #DavidLin, say @CECCgov Chairs. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/CECCgov/status/1717914311325065412#m

We are pleased to sit on the advisory board of this important #BNO voter mobilisation campaign. Be in no doubt, when the growing #HongKonger community organises at a grassroots level & speaks with one voice parliamentarians & policymakers in the UK will listen. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1717527595477078167#m

R to @hkdc_us: She's the 32nd #HongKonger convicted of #sedition. Many Japanese journalists attended the trial. In all, 88 arrested for sedition; 54 prosecuted; 49 remanded pending completion of trial; 32 convicted; 0 acquitted; 30 given custodial sentences (prison or juvenile detention). https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1717502466890100861#m

I'm deeply touched, moved, honoured & humbled to receive this amazing gift today from a #HongKonger It arrived as a wonderful surprise It will stand proudly in my home & inspire me daily in my work with @hk_watch for #HongKong A big thank you to the #HKer who made it 💕🙏 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1710260473721934229#m

Five years ago at Conservative Party Conference, at a fringe meeting on #HongKong, I was the target of a torrent of screaming abuse from #China's #CCP agent Kong Lin Lin, who then slapped a #HongKonger So far, #CPC23 has been quiet & peaceful for me :) https://youtu.be/J9bd04kkGbg?si=4nKFE_Rj1aBVO50l https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1709004738723737961#m

Scholar & #HongKonger @hofunghung on how #repression is the #CCP's primary policy response to China's worsening economic crisis. Just as it has been to Hong Kongers' political demands & insistence on our rights. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/opinion/china-youth-unemployment-xi.html?unlocked_article_code=aNdsO0PYWd4pGdlEK6xmnVI3znvjDCATZfAgnkpamsrxGsFvyLCVlMWkU7Su2VNYYGY5azIcmku8qjMcqhdbu3v0M3H2ZOCUch8ItTx5Ov6ldmdlXBo-rft3uhc7QKVRr- [...]

This bears (poohs?) repeating: #Hongkonger was charged with #sedition and *incarcerated* pending 'trial' (100% conviction rate?) for... importing *children's books* that the 🇨🇳 #CCP fears. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the *minimum* sentence for offending the never-elected regime five (5) years in the dungeons?

R to @benedictrogers: I give 🇬🇧credit for BNO scheme, but we need targeted sanctions against those responsible for dismantling #HongKong's freedoms, and action to stop the banks freezing pro-democracy activists' accounts and pressure on pension funds to release #HongKonger #BNOs MPF pension savings / https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1697342487856099745#m

Exiled #HongKonger Andrew Chan Lok-hang was informed by his family that national security police raided their home on Aug 22 re a story in a contest his org sponsored 3 years ago. He's removed the story & is disbanding Societas Linguistica Hongkongensis. https://hongkongfp.com/2023/08/28/hong-kong-cantonese-language-advocacy-group-closes-after-national-security-police-raid-founders-home/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1696124214854521251#m
