Sherry Chan: In the era of disappointment and hope for coexistence, do you still believe in love?
(19 Aug) In mid-July, the National Radio and Television Administration released a list of 20 "items requiring censorship and alternative expressions", some of which involved the regulation [of depicting] love or romantic relationships: "Romantic dramas cannot be too sweet" and "contemporary themes should maintain proper values; social conflicts must not be highlighted. Endeavour to portray the beautiful lives of normal people..."
To sum up these 20 items, the essence of love according to the #totalitarian regime is this: It shall follow social norms absolutely, teens shall not indulge in puppy love, love shall not be regarded as the be-all and end-all; they should work on upward mobility and enter Tsinghua or Peking University to contribute to society and serve the country.
From the perspective of sociologist Sherry Chan, the essence of love is #individualism. It causes a person to desire #freedom and possess their own mind and soul. As such, love and totalitarian rationale are completely incompatible... In the 21st century, we are still chasing after this most quintessential question: Can love overcome all obstacles?

陳婉容：在最黑暗的時代，「愛」作為人的尊嚴｜端傳媒 Initium Media
愛跟後極權的邏輯完全不相容－－後極權製造的必然是願意切割自己投入集體、所以支離破碎的人。

The censoring level #Twitter has been enforcing on its user is just the same as #CCP in #China. #FreedomOfSpeech is the last defence of freedom. However, the ambition to enter the market in China has made Twitter forgot about the universal value that they should have. Switch to #Gab, #MeWe & #Parler to maintain our freedom of speech.

I-Banks that are willing to form joint venture with #China will 1 day faceonetheir consequences. In a market where there isn't #RuleOfLaw nor #FreedomOfSpeech, there's nothing to protect investors. Those companies often find their intellectual property being stolen.

China Jails Citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan
EU said She was Being Tortured, and Pompeo said the Case Reflects CCP Fears of Truthtellers
Chinese citizen journalist Zhang Zhan traveled to Wuhan to make the news coverage regarding the Wuhan Virus pandemic. She was accused of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, putting her in prison for four years. The European Union (EU) said in a statement yesterday calling for an immediate release of Zhang and cited from credible sources that she had been tortured during detention. The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also issued a statement condemning China strongly for its false prosecution and conviction of Zhang, which reflected the CCP's fears of citizens who speak the truth.
The EU called for the immediate release of Zhang in a statement yesterday (29th). They also disclosed according to reliable sources, Zhang had been subjected to torture and ill-treatment during her detention, resulting in the severe deterioration of her health condition. They added that Zhang must receive adequate medical assistance. "The increasing restrictions on freedom of speech, access to information, intimidation and surveillance of journalists, as well as detentions, trials, and sentencing of human rights defenders, lawyers, and intellectuals in China will continue to be a major concern."

Thanks #XiJinping for sending #China right back to #Yongzheng era #Qing dynasty when the administration imprisoned, tortured and kill people by picking apart their writing to "find" "subversive" interpretations everywhere!

Signal ... literally no signal in China.
Clamping down on the freedom of speech (not like they have much before either), CCP are forcing everyone to use heavily monitored and censored Chinese social media so nothing leak through the gaps ....

Shameful of Facebook, a platform where #freedomofspeech should be observed, becomes a space for #CCP to disseminate #fakenews because #MarkZuckerburg has only cash in his eyes.

If you think the fire wall in China only affects people in China & #HK, think again. It is affecting the whole world already. We need to defend our #freedomofspeech.
