THE WORLD MUST UNITE AGAINST #CCP!
-
“For a long time too many laboured under the fantasy that China would be a strategic partner with the west, perhaps even one part of the democratic world. The process of awakening from this illusion takes time," said #NathanLaw, after his exile to #UK. Europe had said "never again" after WWII, appeasement after #TiananmenMassacre not only didn't democratize #China, #CCP grew into an even bigger monster.

#NathanLaw : The world must do more to fight China’s crackdown in Hong Kong

The following is excerpted from an article written by Hong Kong pro-democracy activist in exile and former lawmaker Nathan Law and published on Washington Post on Jan 8, 2021.

//This mass crackdown shows Beijing is not afraid of showing its teeth and acting like a thug. It will not stop until it has eliminated all opposing voices in Hong Kong. There is no chance for coexistence — and it’s time the international community recognized that.

...One of the major reasons the Chinese Communist Party has unashamedly dared to tear off the mask of promises it had given Hong Kong is the international community’s inaction. Because of China’s ever-growing economic machine, many democratic countries have turned a blind eye to its human rights record; they may talk the talk diplomatically, but refuse to walk the walk.

...What we need for the people of Hong Kong, and democracy in general, is the determination to put human rights above trade interests. We need concrete policies that hold the authoritarian CCP accountable. Statements of concern and condemnation are not enough — and trade or investment agreements with autocracies are even worse. For Beijing, these signatures on agreements are green lights to continue their actions with impunity. The European Parliament should resolutely reject the investment deal to demonstrate leadership in the fight against authoritarianism.

On the other side of the world, the Biden administration should continue to consolidate the transatlantic cooperation to combat China’s authoritarian expansion. Global issues, such as public health and climate change, should be seen as ways to boost cooperation between democracies and pressure authoritarian regimes. The incoming administration should not fall into the trap of believing the CCP’s empty promises. Constraining the CCP’s expansion should be a priority of all of the free world.

…It’s time for the world to stand up and defend our shared universal values with them, not with feeble words but with real actions, shoulder to shoulder.//

We sincerely urged the University of Chicago to hold the fort for freedom of expression and not cave in to #CCP's threats! No doubt, U of #Chicago is far from the only institution that might be swarmed by this sort of attacks by #wumaos and #littlepinks and the like, whatever you'd like to call them. Whoever upholding the principle of #freespeech should #standwithHongKong!

#HarryPotter is a tale about standing up to and defeating a genocidal tyrant. How ironic that a #Chinese owned #RPG is now helping the tyrant to censor words like #HongKong, #HongKonger, #JoshuaWong, #NathanLaw, #watercannon, and even #umbrella.

Pillar of Shame placed outside Chinese Embassy in Rome. Nathan Law: China government's atrocities must be exposed to the world

As the G20 summit is to be held in Rome for two days from Saturday (30 October), exiled Hong Kong legislator Nathan Law Kwun-Chung took the "Pillar of Shame" to the Chinese Embassy there yesterday (27 October) to protest. He said he might not be able to stop the Chinese Communist Party (#ccp) from committing atrocities, but he hoped to draw public attention to human rights issues in China.

Joint with Luke de Pulford, a British member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), and others, Nathan Law erected a three-metre-high "Pillar of Shame", a replica of the original "Pillar of Shame" status made by the same Danish sculptor Jens Galschiøt, outside the Chinese Embassy in Rome yesterday.

"We may not be able to stop the Chinese Communist Party's atrocities, but with the G20 summit around the corner, there is something we can do to get the media's attention and to direct some of the public opinions towards the human rights of the Chinese Communist Party," he said. He would also meet with parliamentarians from different countries in Rome in the coming days, hoping to remind them of the importance of fighting the expansion of Chinese Communist authority when they gather.

[Translator note: According to the Stand News video, Nathan Law said, "it is a statement about the atrocity and the massacre that the Chinese Communist Party did to its people, its crushing of democratic pursuit, and the pursuits of its people to decide the future of their own country", which is not quite the same as what the news article say]

"We must be aware of the infiltrations from the CCP that aim at influencing the politics in the UK and threaten British democracy," said #NathanLaw. The world's democracy is as precarious as it is.

Former HK Chief Executive mocks Nancy Pelosi tarnishing pro-democracy pursuits in Hong Kong

At the height of military tension over Taiwan following the visit by U.S. House Speaker #NancyPelosi, CY Leung shared six old photographs on his Facebook page on August 4.

Among these pictures were Pelosi meeting renowned pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, including #JimmyLai, #AnsonFong, #MartinLee, #NathanLaw and #JoshuaWong.

Mockingly, Leung remarked, “Everyone she touched…”

Who is CY Leung?
Official name Leung Chun-Ying, he was Hong Kong’s 3rd Chief Executive, elected by a 1,200-strong small circle electoral college in 2012. He was the only Chief Executive who delivered inaugural speech in Mandarin at that time, although 95% of local population speaks in Cantonese. His business interests have close tie with the Chinese Community Party and utter pro-China stance alienated the people in Hong Kong, which eventually led to the outbreak of Umbrella Movement in 2014. On only the third day of protests, Leung ordered deployment of tear gas on the protesters.

Although Leung decided not to run for the Chief Executive election in 2016 citing family problems, he earned himself a nickname, “wolf-Ying” when he started a dedicated Facebook page in 2018 to defend China’s interests. His abusive remarks on the city’s pro-democracy pursuits, characterized by unapologetic, “dare to struggle” instincts resembled those of China’s "wolf warrior" diplomats.
