Hong Kong National Security Law: Albeit disliking the Chinese Communist Party #CCP, youngsters in Hong Kong are still loving China.

Ying-shih YU: now is the best time to fight for democracy in Hong Kong.



The Liberty Times, a Taiwanese publisher continued posting footages and manuscripts of the last interviews conducted by Hong Kong press of the Chinese #Historian Ying-shih Yu.

The last episode mentioned that Yu described Beijing forcefully implementing National Security Law #NationalSecurityLaw in #HongKong ‘an unprecedented incident’, showing the Chinese government had already decided to include Hong Kong in its totalitarian regime.

This episode focused on discussing ‘#PatrioticEducation’. Yu reckoned it was the Chinese Communist regime that the younger generation in Hong Kong despised, and that they still loved China, and were fighting for a democratic, liberal, lawful and rights-protecting China.

He emphasised that ‘now is the best time to fight for democracy in Hong Kong.’

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.

#Beijing Attempts to Silence Consulates' June 4th Commemoration in Hong Kong

On the eve of June 4th, Beijing's foreign affairs office in Hong Kong sent warning to different consulates, asking them not to "make any gesture" on June 4, 2022.

June 4th 2022 marks the 33 year-mark of the Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing, where the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government brutally cracked down pro-democracy civilians in 1989.

Commemorative events such as candlelight vigil had been annually held in Hong Kong until the enforcement of the #NationalSecurityLaw in 2020.

Beijing's office claimed that the commemorative activities in Hong Kong were organized by "a small fraction of anti-China people with hostility towards the Chinese government". According to CCP, there is "no need to remember June 4th".

On June 4, 2022, the US consulate and the Australia consulate in Hong Kong posted the Pillar of Shame and a candlelight image on their social media platform respectively, in commemoration of the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre. The Polish Consulate-general fearured candles in their social media post. Both the US consulate-general and the #EuropeanUnion office in Hong Kong lit candles on their windows.

A rare statement from UN committee to urge #HKGov to repeal #NationalSecurityLaw. Hopeful, this will be a start for the UN to finally recognize the #HumanRightsViolations committed by #CCP and start taking action.

Student Activists from #StudentPoliticism plead guilty to "conspiring to incite subversion"

Four former members of the now-disbanded pro-democracy group "Student Politicism" were charged with "conspiring to incite subversion". Former convenor Wong Yat-chin (aged 21), ex-secretary general Chan Chi-sum (aged 21), and ex-spokespersons Jessica Chu (aged 19) and Alice Wong (aged 20) were presented at the District Court in Hong Kong on July 29, 2022. They pleaded guilty.

Apart from Chu, the other three members have been detained for more than 10 months.

They were prosecuted for holding street booths on seven occasions between October 2020 and June 2021. The prosecution alleged that the group called on fellow citizens to "keep on fighting" and chanted the slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times".

UK-Based HongKonger's Groups Criticised pro-Beijing Organisations Cleansing the National Security Law with Human-sea Tactics

The 73rd Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Conference will be held within 2 weeks. UK-based HongKongers organisations found that many pro-Beijing organisations submit reports to this conference, strongly promoting the National Security Law (#NSL). They intended to rationalise the fact of Beijing’s corrosion to the rights in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Scots, a UK-based HongKongers’ organisation, indicated that Beijing utilised Human-sea tactic after being criticised in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights last year to promote the suppression of Hong Kong people in the United Nations. As the submitted content from various groups of people is similar, it is suspected to interfere with the trial of Hong Kong Human Rights in the United Nations, demonstrating “head count takes over the truth with limited evidence”.

According to Freedom House's latest report, Hong Kong's freedom score has dropped to 41 out of 100, categorized as "partly free." The city received 0 points in several areas, including political rights, political pluralism, and government operations. The implementation of the National Security Law and changes to the electoral system were cited as significant infringements on the "One Country, Two Systems" principle. Hong Kong's political rights have been heavily curtailed, with the Chief Executive election and Legislative Council composition being controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. In contrast, Japan and Taiwan scored the highest in Asia, while mainland China received a mere 9 points. #FreedomReport #VanishingHongKong #NationalSecurityLaw #DisappearingDemocracy
