According to American Chamber of Commerce, over 40% of expats in #HK are planning to leave. 62% of them have concerns over the #NationalSecurityLaw. Instead of the stability #HKGov claims that the law would bring, the law itself destroys what people value in #HongKong.

It's not that #CCP nor #HKGov doesn't know what they are doing to the city, but destroying the core value of HK is exactly what they wanted. Instead of a city with autonomy, they want it to be a financial hub that they have full control of. Business and investment opportunities for ordinary people aren't something that they can tolerate with.

The only value that HK has to #CCPChina is to get CCP Corporates listed at the stock market. After failing to develop a financial center in China, they now try to gain full control of HK. However, what they fail to understand that #FreedomOfSpeech & #RulesOfLaw are essential to an international financial center. This concept also contradicts with their goal as there will be no room for corruptions.

Hong Kong government announced a sudden halt to the operation of its Economic, Trade and Cultural Office in Taiwan.

Another step to undermine HK status as international finance hub. Another step to increase tension with Taiwan.

Pro-democracy Hong Kong students in UK harassed by Chinese students

Hong Kong students studying abroad have recently shared their experiences of being harassed when organizing events in school campuses in the UK in support of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.

Jamie and Kitty are among the Hong Kong students who suffer mobbing. Chinese students called them “cockroaches” and “traitors” in Mandarin.

Kitty said the organizers of Hong Kong-related events, including herself, were all doxxed. Their personal information was posted on China social media groups and they were tagged as “Hong Kong Independence Supporters” and “Cockroaches”.

Their application for holding the event was also held up by the school campus multiple times. The event was finally approved with the restriction that it has to be a silent event. “

It made me realize that our campus could no longer serve as a place for us to speak for the current situation in Hong Kong”, said Kitty. She accused the school of “fearing the loss of revenue by the tuition fees of Chinese students”.

Moreover, students revealed that the #CCP used the Chinese Students and Scholars Association in the United Kingdom (#CSSAUK), as a tool to penetrate school campuses in the UK in which Chinese students are bribed into voting the CCP appointed persons to become committees of the Association.

According to the CSSAUK website, it is an association that is “supported by the Education Section of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the UK”. It also claimed to be the largest Chinese association in the UK.

There are a lot of speculations about #CCP supporting the military coup in #Myanmar. According to Reuters, PetroChina ships jet fuels to Myanmar, which proves the theory. However, with the ambition to expand its influence, #CCPChina certainly supports more than 1 dictator. As we've always said here, CCP's threat is beyond just #HK.

My question is: The colonial government had set up a judicial system following the Common Law, which means judges are completely independent without threat from other power. So, why are they completely compromised with the #CCP? #CCPInfiltration is 1 of the best espionage that can corrupt any systems.

Tankie Man: The Pro-Democracy Hong Kongers Standing Up to Western Communists

When a still unidentified man stepped in front of a line of tanks that were leaving Tiananmen Square the day after the massacre that killed around 1,000 student protesters, it was at the risk of his life. The same cannot be said for modern day pro-democracy activists, who are standing up to modern day tankies — that’s Western, often young, supporters of communist, authoritarian regimes — considering most of the battling is taking place online.

It is appalling that University of Chicago’s Chinese student and scholar association vilify HK pro-democracy activist Nathan Law and call him a "terrorist".

CCP infiltrates in US academics to silence critics abroad. We must stand up to CCP to combat their insidious influence to foreign institutions.
