    The Foreign Office has had months to prepare sanctions against Chinese officials abusing the rule of law in Hong Kong so to talk about "speculation" at this late stage will not cut it. Government must impose Magnitsky sanctions on those responsible now.https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18866963.uk-government-urged-sanction-hong-kong-officials/ …

        There has been only one direction of travel for political freedom in Hong Kong in the past year. If we remain passive as the final dominoes fall then our supposed obligations to Hongkongers are meaningless. @hk_watch @Stand_with_HK @benedictrogers

        #CCP will continue to threaten other countries if the world does not fight back. It is time to impose sanction on the related officials. #StandWithHongKongpic.twitter.com/J3Ws7Xtc0g

        Is it possible that following Brexit, the UK economy & infrastructure is exposed to the point where it would be be open to threat by China if, or rather when, it retaliates for any sanctions imposed by the UK? Brexit may have put us in a position where we can’t threaten them!

        This case highlighted the total erosion of the rule of law and #1country2systems in Hong Kong. World, let's get behind the brave #HongKongers in the fight against the evil #CCP tyranny. Fight for freedom, #StandWithHongKong! #MagnitskyAct

        We must let those human rights criminals know that violations of human rights and freedom are not without consequences💪💪

        I think the root reason is that Hongkongers have severe regional discrimination on mainland China. Just like English discriminate on Irish.
