1/ Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of our anti-extradition bill movement since June. Over the past year, Hongkongers and the world have been bearing witness to the deteriorating situation in Hong Kong, with Beijing tightening its grip over the city’s liberties.pic.twitter.com/q5VDIIjscP

2/ Step by step, Beijing is putting this global business centre under its direct control, from suppressing dissents’ voices with excessive police forces, scrapping the 1 Country 2 Countries framework to guarantee supervisory power to China’s Liaison Office.pic.twitter.com/Ed93st0hKb

3/ Beijing proposed a CCP-led secret police intelligence agency under the ill-defined national security law. Similar to how it treats dissidents in China, Beijing is staging the biggest crackdown in the city after the Tiananmen Square Massacre, in a silent but violent manner.pic.twitter.com/O0qi4xapVP

4/ Without legislative scrutiny and public consultation, Beijing is now unilaterally imposing its authoritarian regime on Hong Kong against the will of the people. Even for pro-Beijing side, about 30% of the pro-government supporters oppose a law without legislative scrutiny.pic.twitter.com/LwwhWLadXQ

5/ For any institutional factors that contribute to the success of the international city, from free-flow of information, press freedom, freedoms of speech, & human rights protection, China reads them in its tyrannical mindset and views them as a threat to its autocratic control.pic.twitter.com/FmuQpfMq7G
