Dear New Zealanders, #CCP’s justice system does the opposite of justice. 12 #HongKongers were abducted and detained for almost a year before they were taken to court for a closed trial. Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were held for 2 years as pawns for #hostagediplomacy. Protect yourselves, don’t let your people be subjected to that kind of danger and your country a loophole for ccp to manipulate!

#Genocide takes more form than the obvious mass killing (horrendous as it is), but also in other moves such as forced sterilization and abortion, and the erasure of cultural memories. Here we would like to especially call out Vince Cable, Former British MP and #LibDem leader, for denying #Uyghurgenocide.

#HongKongers will always stand with Uyghurs. As oppressed peoples, sometimes it seems that we can't do anything, but dear friends, even remembering who you are, holding on to your memories, is an act of defiance against #CCP!

#CCP has committed #humanrights abuses for 100th years. On July 1st, we had nothing to celebrate, only tragedies to share, and warnings to sound to the world. Rallies against CCP and in support of the oppressed people are held in #Belgium, #Canada, #Germany, #Japan, #Switzerland, #UK and #US. The fight for freedom is not only the struggle of #HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, IT IS YOURS TOO! CCP has shown how precisely it can oppress people outside of #China, in the international community, through infiltrating governments, universities and businesses. Never take #democracy for granted and stand up to the tyrant before they gag you like they gagged #HongKong, #EastTurkestan, #Tibet!

PS. HKers: It hasn't been an easy day for us, please remember that you are not alone in your pain and sorrow. If you need to take a break from the news to take care of your mental health, please do!

"Whoever controls the past controls the future, whoever controls the present controls the past." #Orwell's words are gold. The impact of the forced closure of #AppleDaily is discovered and felt everyday. #Wikipedia's principle is verifiability, not the truth, so use it with care esp. when #Chinese netizens are pushing for state propaganda to be recognized as reliable news sources!

They're also trying to tip off #HongKong users to the national security?! Another way of saying that speaking the truth, or speaking at all, is a threat to the #CCP!

#PRC's national day is no cause for celebration for #HongKongers. After all the #CCP-sanctioned police brutality and sexual abuse, #HongKong has completely lost respect and hope for this tyrant. In 2019, on the so-called "new #China's" 70th anniversary, #Chinese celebrations are placed side by side with CCP's brutal crackdown on #HongKong on international headlines, including the use of lethal weapon against a student.

We will never forget. The CCP has lost the hearts of whole generations of #HKers, and ripped off its mask in front of the world.

Remembering June 4th in #Japan

On June 4, 2022, pro-democracy Hongkongers gathered in Shinjuku, Tokyo to commemorate the victims of the 1989 #TiananmenMassacre in Beijing. This year flags and installations supporting Hong Kong's prodemocracy movement were also seen.

Similar commemorative events had been held in Hong Kong until the enforcement of the #NationalSecurityLaw in 2020.

#Hongkongers, #Tibetans and #EastTurkestans Join Assembly Outside of ChineseEmbassy in #London

On June 4, 2022, more than 200 people gather outside the Chinese Embassy in London for a candlelight vigil in remembrance of the victims of the #TiananmenMassacre back in 1989.

#IsaacCheng Ka-Long, the former Vice-Chairperson of #Demosisto, and #YauManChun, a former Shatin District Councillor, were the moderated the event. Speakers representing the #UK, #HongKong, #Tibet and #EastTurkestan took turn to speak. The pre-recorded speech of #ZhangXianLing, one of the "#TiananmenMothers", were played after a minute of silence was observed.

Zhang Xianling's son was massacred at Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4 1989. Her son was 19 years old when killed. Zhang sent blessing to Hongkongers. Despite the suppression of demonstration and commemorative events in Hong Kong, Zhang encouraged the people of Hong Kong not to give up.

#BenedictRoger, the founder of #HongKongWatch, brought a yellow umbrella to the event, saying the umbrella were only used in rainy weather but it also symbolised the sovereignty and the power of the people who suffer suppression. He hopes people would see the UK as a shelter.

#LeeWingTat, a former legislator from Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp, also gave a speech, urging people not to give up. Under the National Security Law (#NSL) and other regulations, he foresaw the arrival of more and more Hong Kong immigrants to the UK. He encouraged those who arrived early to help others to settle and hoped to spread the situation in Hong Kong to the world.

#TserinPassang, a British-born Tibetan talked about how his parents went in exiled due to the high-pressure suppression in Tibel such as re-education camps and forced labour. He said that over hundred Tibetans conducted self-immolation to express their discontent, but the suppression by Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) regime does not cease. He expressed his will to go to his homeland hopefully in a not so distant future.

After that, a representative from East Turkestan spoke on the genocid and the need to raise people's awareness on all humanitarian crises.

Although it is no longer possible to continue the tradition of holding an annual candlelight vigil at Hong Kong's #VictoriaPark, the commemorarive event is carried out overseas and is joined by not just Hongkongers.

The assembly in London ended with three songs: "The Flower of Freedom" (自由花), "The Internationale", and "Glory to Hong Kong". The participants chanted pro-democracy slogans to voice their demands outside the Chinese Embassy.

As Hong Kong clamps down, ‘burden of remembering’ #TiananmenMassacre shifts overseas

// In the decades since the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing on June 4, 1989, one of the most indelible images associated with the event, alongside “Tank Man” and the Goddess of Democracy statue, has been a sea of candles, lighting up the night.

Every year, tens of thousands gathered in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park to commemorate the dead and echo their calls for democracy in China.

No more. The 30th anniversary of the massacre in 2019 was the last time it was marked by a mass gathering in Hong Kong. Memorials since then have been banned on coronavirus grounds, as is the case this year, with public gatherings still limited to four people...

“With the last symbol of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech in Hong Kong being taken away it is crucial for Hong Kongers and all persons of conscience around the world to pick up the torch and make sure that the flame of freedom and democracy remain burning,” said Mabel Tung, chair of the Vancouver Society in Support of Democratic Movement (#VSSDM), a group founded by Chinese Canadians in support of the 1989 protests.

...Amnesty International said it is arranging events in more than 20 cities this year, and will call on participants not only to remember those killed in Beijing, but also “stand in solidarity with those in Hong Kong whose peaceful acts of commemoration are now criminalized.”

In Asia, one of the largest memorials will be in Taipei, where organizers plan to unveil a replica of the “Pillar of Shame,” a statue commemorating the Tiananmen victims that was forcibly removed from Hong Kong last year...//

The ambition of Xi, isn't just aiming to have complete control over every #HongKongers, #Taiwanese, #Tibetans and #Uyghur, but everyone. Now that there is at least 1 surveillance camera with facial recognition for every 2 citizens in China, they are also planning to do the same outside of the country. Apps like tiktok and zoom help #CCP to gather information, saving users biometrics into their big data and possibly stealing useful information that can become a national threat to other countries.

#LizTruss is playing the #China card. Not to say that her points are invalid, but we will have to see if there will be actual action now that she is PM, and how long she could last in the position.

Also, crackdowns have been going on in #HongKong for literally years. #UK has been saying that the #SinoBritishJointDeclaration is legally binding and that #CCP has broken it, so, where's the legal action to hold them responsible? #HongKongers are very grateful for the lifeboats, but let's not pretend that's an adequate response to CCP's brutal breach of an international contract. We haven't even mentioned the atrocities in #Xinjiang and #Tibet, and military threats in #Taiwan yet.

#Hongkongers in #Canada are now proposing a Foreign Influence Transparency Registry to fight against #CCP influence in Canada. After Chinese Secret Plice Stations are exposed by the Candian Security Intelligent Service (CSIS), a lot of Canadians are concerned about the influence China has in Canada. Setting up a comprehensive system of Foreign Influence Transparency Registry is one of the most effective ways to safeguard the Canadian democratic system.

If the registration is passed, Foreign agents will need to list out their activities in the country. Hence, becoming more transparent about Foreign influences on policies within the country other than its own democratic system.

Anyone in Canada who successfully applied for Permanent Residence can sign this petition.
