#到底我地係咪行緊雨傘條舊路【#AntiELAB Movement vs #UmbrellaMovement: are #HKers walking on the old path?】
5/ Global reach for visiting Taiwan. Heiko Maas criticized with an open letter.t 11 pm on 30 June 2020:
1/ HK's protests have indeed reduced due to the COVID19 and the National Security Law. Hong Kong Government mass arrests protestors, and crackdown on the education, mass media, medical and judicial industries. But, NO, we're not walking the old path of division between different sides in the pro-democracy bloc. In fact, we're winning. Here's why:
2/ In 2014,
- 70% of polls call for the occupation to stop
- Division within Pro-democracy bloc
- Average results in the District Council Election
- Pro-Beijing bloc gained 57% seats in Legislative Council
- CCP's economic diplomacy is doing well
- Few countries support HK
3/ From 2019 till now,
- Pro-democracy bloc swept 85% of the seats in the District Council Election
- it's likely for the pro-democracy bloc to gain more than half of the seats in the Legislative Council Election, which forced the #CCP to cancel the election
Polls did by 香港民意研究計劃 HKPOP request by Reuters showed that
- 70% support an independent investigation committee
- 63% support universal suffrage of the Legislative Council and Chief Executive
- 58% support Carrie Lam to step down
- 56% oppose the riot characterization of the antiELAB Movement
- 49% support the release of the arrested people
- 60% oppose the NationalSecurityLaw
- 31% support the NationalSecurityLaw
- 57% vote for pro-democracy candidates
- 25% vote for pro-government candidates
4/ Normally, public opinion of social movements will reverse after a while, like the #UmbrellaMovement, #BlackLivesMatter and the #YellowVests. But after a year, the majority of public opinion is still on the protestors' side ...
5/ Global reac for visiting Taiwan. Heiko Maas criticized with an open letter.t 11 pm on 30 June 2020:
- Jul 1: over 100k people took to the streets
- Jul 11-12: over 610k people vote in the democratic preliminary election
- Aug 12: 530k copies of 香港蘋果日報 Apple Daily were sold & 282 tocks are sold after Jimmy Lai was arrested
- Aug 27: all HKers dressed in black to say no to the Police rewriting what happened on 21 Jul 2019
- Aug 31: hundreds mourned for the #831PrinceEdwardAttack
6/ Gobal reactions
🇺🇸: Sanctioning HK and CCP officials and change "made in HK" to "made in China"
🇬🇧: Banned the buying of Huawei and offering HKers "lifeboats"
🇦🇺: US-Japan South China Sea military exercise took place in Australia. CCP intimidated journalists in Beijing
🇪🇺: Stop exporting sensitive tech and treat HK the same way as China
🇩🇪: Wang Yi intimidated Czech Senate speaker
Miloš Vystrčil for visiting Taiwan. Heiko Maas criticized with an open letter.
🇫🇷: Forced telcos to ditch @Huawei and announced of won't treat China naively
🇨🇦: Showed no sign of thawing with China. Hostage diplomacy continues to deadlock.
🇯🇵: partnered closely with the Five Eyes and acted tougher after 周庭 Agnes Chow Ting was arrested
🇮🇳: border clashes continued and ditched Chinese mobile apps like WeChat, Alipay and Tik Tok.
🇹🇼: international reputation continued to rise after having the least COVID19 confirmed cases in the world with its anti-pandemic policy
🇭🇰: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany ended extradition agreements
7/ #HongKongers have achieved remarkable results fighting against the second-largest, evilest country in the world in just one year. The idea of phoenixism is that we know the chance of winning is low, so we try to increase the costs beard by the #CCP to achieve what we demand.
8/ Everyday we are guided by our thirst for freedom and a sense of duty to bring democracy to our children and grandchildren. So long as we follow that path, we will always be on the right side of history. The island of HK may be small the resolve of its people is anything but.

【《紐約時報》投稿 —— Joshua Wong: Hong Kong Still Has Many Ways to Resist】
當下時勢,投稿到外媒,好像會被質疑玩命,但我仍想盡力發聲。
Ever since a new round of pro-democracy protests broke out in Hong Kong last year, journalists from both local and global media have exposed how freedoms are shrinking, human rights are deteriorating and police brutality is worsening in the city.
Now, with new sweeping powers under the national security law that China promulgated for Hong Kong on June 30, the news media themselves are in the Chinese government’s crosshairs.
The publisher Jimmy Lai, whose media company puts out the popular tabloid Apple Daily, has long been one of Beijing’s most vocal critics in HK. Mr.Lai was arrested on Monday morning under the recent law, for allegedly colluding with foreign forces.
The paper’s office was raided by dozens of police. Lai was released on bail late Tues night. A special unit has been created in the Immigration Department to vet visa applications that are deemed to be sensitive, including for foreign correspondents, according to The Standard.
The Hong Kong police now grants access to ground operations only to “trusted media outlets”: On Monday, reporters from Reuters, Agence France-Presse and The Associated Press, among others, reportedly were blocked from the scene of the raid at Apple Daily. Police cordoned off the headquarters of the tabloid Apple Daily after Lai’s arrest. Freedom of speech and of the press, both vital to the rule of law and the city’s vibrancy, are under attack.
China is extending to HK the regime of media regulation and repression that it applies on the mainland. Today, it’s the media. Yesterday, it was legislators, contenders to political office & activists: Recently, just after disqualifying pro-democracy candidates from running in elections scheduled for Sep, the HK authorities delayed by a year — paving the way, I think, for their being cancelled. Tmr, who knows who will be China’s next targets. But I do know that many HKers will respond then, too, by demonstrating our solidarity, creatively.
In a show of support for Mr. Lai and Apple Daily, people have been buying up shares of his media company: The stock’s price surged by 1,200 percent in less than two days. I began writing this Op-Ed on Monday evening. A few hours later I learned that Agnes Chow, a former colleague and ex-member of our political group Demosisto, was arrested, also for violating the national security law — also for allegedly “colluding with foreign forces.”
But Agnes had quit Demosisto on the morning of June 30, before the new law went into effect and its text was released, and she had ceased all activism; she even stopped updating her Twitter account. (She, too, was released on bail Tuesday night.) Before her arrest she had been tailed by unknown agents for days, she said. An infrared camera had been installed in front of the main entrance to her home, according to a neighbour. I fear that other dissenting voices in HK will also face this kind of surveillance, harassment & persecution.
On Tues, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress in Beijing announced that in light of the delayed election, the term of HK’s current legislature would be extended for “no less than one year.” Carrie Lam expressed her “heartfelt gratitude” for that decision. No limit has been placed on the term of this interim legislative body, meaning that it could be endlessly extended, with no further elections — more or less as happened in Taiwan during the island’s authoritarian decades, between the late 1940s and the early 1990s.
And yet, in the face of this darkest new era of censorship and repression, HK’s spirit of resistance is unflagging. Many HKers lined up in the early hours of Tuesday to buy the day’s edition of Apple Daily. Some groups bought up stashes of the paper to distribute for free to passers-by. More than 500,000 copies had to be printed in total, five times the usual. Hong Kongers will keep finding ways, big and small, to resist.

The Fate of Authoritarian System (Lee Yee)
As the Legislative Council (LegCo) election date is getting closer, the Hong Kong pro-CCP government pondered what tactic to use – the DQ (disqualifying candidates) tactic or the postponement tactic? Then came the latest rumor: the election will be postponed for a year due to the epidemic.
Only the mentally-challenged would believe that excuse.
Although many pan-democratic camp (pan-dems) candidates cannot make up their minds on which direction to go within their response to the confirmation letter, the government is still wary of the DQ tactic: if it excavates what the candidates did or said in the past and uses that to mass DQ them, people would be appalled by it and reaction from the international side would be strong; if it accepts their writings in the confirmation letter and let them through the gate, then it is extremely likely the pan-dems would win the election. So DQ wouldn’t work, postponement it is then.
The postponement tactic is actually directly in breach of the Basic Law Article 69 which sets the term of office for four years. Of course, when such unrefined law like the National Security Law (NSL), which blatantly violates the Basic Law, can be so speedily passed and immediately implemented, then the Basic Law has long become garbage in the eye of the CCP, who can now stamp and approve all the dirty deeds with the National People's Congress (NPC) seal and fool itself that everything is legal.
But this could be another miscalculated blunder in the making. Postponing the election for a year would actually attract more criticism from the international society than the DQ tactic, because although DQ is against human rights, it is not unlawful to do so; however, the postponement has obviously violated the constitution. Maintaining the regulations of a constitutional system is the most basic rule a civilized government required to follow. The western politicians are the most stubborn about this.
Despite the news of last year’s anti-ELAB movement being closely followed worldwide, apart from the US, the western countries did not react too much on the parliamentary levels; hiding Wuhan virus from everyone which led to a global pandemic had also not caused any actions except Trump who flared up plenty of times, and some minor mutterings from some western countries with no real action; The noise surrounding the China-US trade war escalated, but many western countries were reluctant to get involved or ban Huawei as they wanted to maintain a relationship with China. But then when Hong Kong NSL was launched, and all hell broke loose. Within a month, the US stepped up its anti-China action and gradually revealed its sanctioning measurements. The Five Eyes and even the pro-China EU have all halted their extradition treaty with Hong Kong. The UK became the first country that banned Huawei.
Halting the extradition treaty is due to the NSL claims that criminals can be sent to China to go on trial, which was a different scenario when the treaty was signed. The NSL has indicated that Hong Kong’s judicial system is no longer independent from China. Last year, 65% of China’s foreign investment was via Hong Kong. Foreign investors chose Hong Kong as a base because they believed Hong Kong had judicial independence. However, with the implementation of NSL, it is no longer the case.
Right now, there are increased actions against the NSL from western countries daily and this sanctioning circle is growing. China has to utter gibberish like “angry”, “sternly refute” to different countries every day.
The CCP and Hong Kong pro-CCP camp thought postponing LegCo election is just a trivial matter, but Pompeo said he would pay extra attention to Hong Kong’s LegCo election in September; UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has also told Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister, the same in a call.
Yan Zeya, a Taiwanese author said yesterday on Facebook, “I hope Taiwan and Hong Kong would break this misconception, that the left-wing in the West are pro-China, and the right-wing are anti-China. Take the New Zealand Prime Minister as an example. She is from the Labor Party, left-wing, but not pro-China. How the left and right are divided in a country depends on internal affairs and its economy, but has nothing to do with foreign policies. Its attitude towards another country is not distinguished by left or right, but hawk and dove. Some country’s hawks ally with the right, some with the left, some do not ally with any side. Furthermore, if there are more than one hostile countries, then the same country could be a hawk to country A, and a dove to country B.
NZ Prime Minister Ardern clearly indicated during last week’s China Business Summit, that the NZ government differ from China on some issues, including Hong Kong NSL, the situation of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and Taiwan joining the WHO. She emphasized, that these subjects are extremely important to the Kiwis (New Zealand people).
Lately, the China policies of the US and western countries are becoming more aligned – they are all becoming the eagle. The catalyst of this drastic change is indeed Hong Kong NSL; and the postponement of the LegCo election would only exacerbate the anti-China and anti-Hong Kong actions.
Once a rule is broken, one would keep breaking it; to use a lie to cover a lie, it must be a bigger lie; to fix the loophole by breaking rules, the hole would only get bigger; to use mistake to mend another mistake would only create a bigger mistake. And this, is the fate of the authoritarian system.

On Taiwan Hashtag hosted by Ross Feingold, we discuss why Keith Fong
方仲賢, student union president at Hong Kong Baptist University student
union, criticized President Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文 and Taiwan politicians for
allegedly using Hong Kong’s protests and the challenges faced by
protesters to help their election chances in Taiwan’s upcoming
presidential and legislative election. Hong Kong student leaders such as
Fong believe Taiwan has failed to provide sufficient aid or fixed the
lack of a legal basis for asylum claims by Hong Kong protestors seeking
refuge from criminal charges. Fong’s criticism follows earlier
criticisms of Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je by protest leaders Joshua Wong
黃之鋒 and Agnes Chou 周庭. Why is Fong surprised that Taiwan’s politicians
will do what’s necessary to be elected? Will Taiwan accept his apology?
Watch our show for an analysis of recent events in Taiwan related to the
Hong Kong protests.

On Taiwan Hashtag hosted by Ross Feingold, we are joined by Legislator Wang Ting-yu 王定宇 of the Democratic Progressive Party. Legislator Wang, who regularly tweets from @MPWangTingyu in English, explains why his Tweets call protesters in Hong Kong “freedom fighters” and the reasons why people in Taiwan have followed events in Hong Kong so closely. Legislator Wang discusses why the Republic of China is the country’s name for now, his support for a US Navy port call at Tsoying Navy Base in Kaohsiung, and legislative initiatives he has worked on to protect Taiwan from foreign enemies. Legislator Wang represents a constituency in Tainan City and is seeking re-election, so we also discuss his
campaign strategy against his Kuomintang opponent.

On Taiwan Hashtag hosted by Ross Feingold, we discuss the many political
parties trying to join the Legislative Yuan 立法院 by winning seats in
Taiwan’s upcoming parliamentary election. Why did the Kuomintang 國民黨
non-constituency seats list result in public and media criticism? Are
its nominees too pro-China? Can smaller parties like the People First
Party and New Power Party again win seats? Or will the new Taiwan
Peoples Party led by Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je win a signficaint
number of seats, and prevent the Democratic Progressive Party or
Kuomintang from winning a majority?
