Im in the belief that this is why we saw this man made virus in the first place. Protests were at Tiananmen Square level of 89. Then suddenly they stopped because we had to Quarantine. Yet we shall see how this plays out in the next couple of years 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hong Kong, Coronavirus, and the Specter of Tiananmen. “Over the past year, Beijing’s quisling administration in Hong Kong has made copious use of tear gas, water cannon, threats, bans, beatings, and arrests (more than 8,000 to date). All this has failed to quell Hong Kong’s democracy movement. Is it likely that China’s dictator, President Xi Jinping, brandishing his new security law, would go so far as to reprise in Hong Kong his Communist Party’s 1989 Tiananmen tactics, and default to wholesale gunfire? Don’t rule it out.” 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Boris Johnson lays out visa offer to nearly 3m Hong Kong citizens Boris Johnson has opened the path to what he called one of the “biggest changes” to the British visa system, stating he was ready to offer a right to live and work in the UK to any of the nearly 3 million Hong Kong citizens eligible for a British National Overseas passport. The prime minister’s offer would come into play only if China presses ahead with new security laws that strip Hong Kong of its traditional freedoms. “If China imposes its national security law, the British government will change its immigration rules and allow any holder of these passports from Hong Kong to come to the UK for a renewable period of 12 months and be given further immigration rights including the right to work which would place them on the route to citizenship.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/03/britain-could-change-immigration-rules-for-hong-kong-citizens 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Agnes Chow: Hong Kong activist hailed as the 'real Mulan' Agnes Chow, a 23-year-old pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong, has got a new nickname. Her supporters have started calling her "the real Mulan" - in reference to the legendary Chinese heroine who fought to save her family and country. Ms Chow was one of a handful of activists and media figures arrested this week under a controversial new security law imposed by Beijing. She has been charged with "colluding with foreign forces" - if convicted, she could face up to life in jail. She's now been released on bail, but her arrest prompted an outpouring of support, with many tweeting the hashtag #FreeAgnes. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53746867 Yeah Agnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Democracy is dead in Hong Kong, protests are illegal, only state media is allowed and you put your life at risk if you simply carry a sign https://www.wired.com/story/hong-kong-is-troubling-case-study-in-death-of-democracy/ The following day, Lam tried to reassure residents that the liberties they enjoyed would not be infringed upon, but those words, like many she has spoken since the crisis began last June, were empty. On the streets, the law had started taking effect, with its enforcers, the Hong Kong police, at the ready. During a protest against the legislation on July 1, a 15-year-old girl with a flag reading “I stand for Hong Kong independence” was taken by officers, and others were caught and arrested for carrying packs of bumper stickers. After a man flying a “Liberate Hong Kong” flag on the back of his motorcycle collided with police, he became the first person formally charged under the law. He faces counts of secession and terrorism, which carry life sentences, and has been denied bail twice.
