生於亂世有種責任 比起虛長幾十年的老人,總是青年學生們率先主動背上這重擔,懷抱著國家會變得更好的期望。 #六四事件 #TiananmenSquareMassacre
"Going to March, at Tiananmen Square" - "Why?" "Why? I think it's my duty." This is the 1989 video providing context to the "It's my duty" slogans on Weibo and bicycle emojis this night. teapawt.net/ThisIsWenhao/status/15…

For the restrictions imposed on China tourists, what people fear are not simply a new wave of #COVID19, which is not too scary when most people have got it once, but possibility of new unknown variants as the information from China is not transparent. #CovidIsNotOver

Hong Kong - you need the Chief executive’s approval to employ foreign lawyers in cases involving “National Security”, which means the HK gov’t is reduce the chances in hiring a lawyer who can win against them. Next they may decide you can only use lawyers appointed by them.

2022, it has been a sad year. My new year wish is for Ukraine to get back the peace they deserved and show the invader and those who want to cooperate with such barbarians that hell exist for them.

Lawyers leaving, medicals leaving, teachers leaving, all the bright people who make Hong Kong great are leaving. The current HK government successfully reverse the clock and turn the city from an international financial centre back to a village
THREAD Many thanks to @GregTorode of @Reuters for interviewing me on this. Leaving #HongKong was a difficult decision. I was making good money as an international law firm partner, and I wasn’t yet in any immediate danger. However,… (1/10) reuters.com/investigates/spe…

There is no certainty for HK law. If the government does not like the judgement, they will ask Beijing to “interpret” the law so to give them the result they want. It is not a stable environment for business or personnel. Move to Singapore will be the best move for businesses.
BREAKING: Beijing has passed motion to interpret article 14 and article 47 of Hong Kong National Security Law

China complains about Japan’s new COVID restrictions on Chinese visitors as if the restrictions 🇨🇳 imposed in the last 3 years never happened.
由于日本要求对来自中国的感染者实行隔离一周政策,中国外交部立刻提出抗议: “防疫措施必须是科学和适当的,不能影响人们的正常往来。”

Replying to @UN
@UN I believe use of such weapons are forbidden in Geneva Convention. We are going to 2023 but how on earth Russia, who has committed all kinds of war crime in less than a year, is still a permanent member of your Security Council?
Russian attacking Ukrainian positions in Maryinka with incendiary munitions.

China netizen claimed passport application in Beijing is no longer restricted. Why it is restricted at the first place and why it is not now, taking into account the rises in #ChinaCovidCases recently, I am worried. #CovidIsNotOver

Just observing the changes, it is asking to state the COUNTRY of origin rather than CITY of origin, which does make sense as it is more possible for general public to know a country than a city.
The United States strongly rejects the deeply flawed WTO Panel regarding Hong Kong, China’s challenge to the requirement that its goods be marked as goods of China. We do not intend to remove the marking requirement as a result of this report. [1/3]

The state of terrorism is also a permanent member of the UN Security Council. @UN you took the spring break, Easter, summer break, now close to Christmas, and you still have not done a thing about Russia. What are we united for?

It is going to to be Christmas in a month time. How about gift yourself a feel good present, like a donation to Ukraine? It might save a child’s life and in turns, save our future.
Heart surgery in Kyiv. A child is being operated on, and power goes off due to a Russian missile attack. Surgeons carry on with their batteries and power generators.

Nobody pays too much attention on the national anthem played in the Asia Rugby game, not until Hong Kong officials jumped out and started attacking South Korea, which in turns raised publicity for the song #GloryToHongKong

@BWallaceMP I won’t be surprised if these Chinese police stations in UK involve in exploring UK military intelligence and collecting personal data, while assaulting people like they have power to do anything in the territory of UK, this shouldn’t be allowed.
Much scrutiny lately of 'Chinese police stations' operating on the streets of Britain… What links the 'stations' to British politics, the Chinese Communist Party, an assault in the heart of London, & serious organised crime? This is big. 1/54
