Hear about the proposed article 23 law in Hong Kong is disturbing to say the least.
Given that it is building on the incredibly vague & broad Beijing imposed "National Security Law" which has already massively stifled freedom of speech, expression, association. Ripped through academic freedoms & made the "legal system" even more politically controlled, closed down half a dozen media outlets, caused many unions & civil society orgs to disband (over 60).
The proposals of article 23 include:
- Developing a "internet firewall" (Basically bring a version of the great firewall to Hong Kong, making it harder to access information the government doesn't like)
- Targeting foreign agents & “organisations in disguise” to discourage them from going to HK.
- Clamping down on fake news & harmful information (so even more media suppression, like how much more do you need, already fucking prosecuting stand news editors for normal journalistic activity)And this is just from one interview... it's likely to contain a hell of a lot more things.
Suppression is already heavy in HK, indeed the joke amongst some friends is that there are things they can't do in HK that they could on the mainland. Many have already taken steps to scrub their 2019 posts off the other place or left Soc Med altogether.
It's gonna get worse.
Some coverage of the interview from the other place:

Myanmar diaspora & allies in Thailand protesting against the Junta at the embassy in BKK. ✊🏼
Gotta say Myanmar diaspora chanting at protests makes my soul sing. They got so much energy & passion. They also got songs that hit hard... (will find a link to them at some point)
The peoples of Myanmar's fight for freedom, struggle for democracy & rights wont stop till they win, raise up their voices!

“但凡中國與周邊國家出現外交或主權衝突，總會有網民在推特上把「奶茶聯盟」拉進討論內。中印邊境衝突、南海爭議、澳洲和紐西蘭支持台灣加入世衛大會、關於中國向伊朗租島協議的風聲等，總會有網民把關鍵詞與「奶茶聯盟」的標籤一併轉發。相比「拯救萬查勒」和「廢止恐怖主義法案」的案例，這些附上「奶茶聯盟」的帖文數目相對較多，但很少出現個別帖文獲得特別高轉發次數的情況，代表網民在相關議題的自發性較強。即使意見領袖較少參與討論，網民仍會自發地把兩者扣連，意味著主流傾向接受「奶茶聯盟」與「中國因素」的連結。 “
