#Twitter戰線【Should arrest follow, it would be a total war aiming at eradicating dissents.】
https://twitter.com/joshuawongcf/status/1326438542017355776
NPCSCs' decision to unseat 4 moderate democratic lawmakers came after the US election, showing that Beijing is still very keen on going after democratic activists and will not spare professional elites.
As hawkish as it showed 4 years ago, this time Beijing horrendously bypassed HK's judiciary and legislature when enforcing the order. The latest decision effectively bans disqualified candidates from running in upcoming elections, basically sweeping all prospective democratic candidates out of the door. I think it is a manifest declaration of Beijing to abandon the promises enshrined in the Joint Declaration.
More worrying is a plot paving ways put more democratic activists under National Security Law. Accusing candidates including myself of ‘soliciting interference by foreign governments' with fabricated allegations, the four lawmakers were banned from running the election in July. They are now unseated on the same ground. Should arrest follow, it would be a total war aiming at eradicating dissents.

Taiwan Voters Throw China-Friendly Mayor Out of Office
台灣民眾對親中政客投下反對票
🇹🇼One of Taiwan’s most prominent China-friendly politicians was recalled as mayor of the self-ruled island’s third-largest city—the second electoral setback in five months for Taiwanese advocates of a more accommodating posture toward Beijing.
台灣最知名的親中政治人物之一，同時作為台灣第三大城高雄市長韓國瑜遭民眾罷免，這是五個月以來對韓國瑜及其他提倡對北京持更加包容態度的台灣人來說第二次的選舉挫敗。
-prominent: 著名的、重要的
-setback: 挫折、困境
-advocate: 提倡、倡導
🧑🦲The same man lost both times: The recalled mayor, Han Kuo-yu of the main opposition Nationalist Party, failed to unseat Taiwan’s incumbent leader, Tsai Ing-wen, in January’s presidential election. Now voters in the southern port city of Kaohsiung have passed a recall motion removing Mr. Han from office, according to Taiwan’s Central Election Commission.
輸了兩次的男人：遭罷免的韓國瑜市長隸屬台灣主要反對黨——國民黨，於今年一月的總統大選中沒能取代現任總統蔡英文。根據中選會發佈的消息，南台灣的港都市民們通過了高雄市長韓國瑜的罷免案。
-unseat: (尤指透過選舉)罷免、使下台
-incumbent: 現任的、在職的
-recall: 罷免、召回
🧑🦲Saturday’s result made Mr. Han the first municipal leader and the highest-ranking elected official to be recalled in Taiwan’s history—a dramatic reversal in fortunes: Less than two years ago he clinched the mayorship, toppling Ms. Tsai’s ruling party in its political heartland and paving the way for his presidential run.
一個戲劇性的轉折：不到兩年前韓國瑜推翻了執政黨的心臟地帶，取得高雄市長的職位，並為其競選總統鋪路。但週六的投票結果卻使韓國瑜成為台灣有史以來遭罷免的最高層級地方首長，
-municipal: 市政的
-reversal: 反轉、推翻
-clinch: 獲得，最終贏得
-topple: 使倒下，顛覆（政權）
未完待續...
外界對於韓國瑜的看法又是如何？
