        I have heard of similar stories mulitple times. Censorship is the core value running in the #china communist party. For the past decades we have built a relatively free internet. But now everything is under threat. #hongkongers are getting their phones checked entering china.

        I wanted the people in China to know full picture of #HongKongProtests before they decided to call us ‘rioters’, name this is ‘independent movement’. If you know what 5 demands are, you would know we fight for autonomy that should be granted to us based on basic lawpic.twitter.com/iaiLqf4mn1

        Censorship is common for CCP There are so many proves out there. People in free world still pretend not seeing. Freedom in speech, thinking are not allowed in CCP. I dun understand what govts allow Huawei. That's like suicide.

        Before there were a man from China came to #HongKong to witness the #HKProtest. He wanted to get proofs that protesters aren’t rioters so he could show his friends in China. When protesters found out he was taking pics, they all asked him to delete them..for his own safety..
