1/ To safeguard the city’s human rights and liberty, Hongkongers hope the new US administration can continue standing with HK and safeguarding our democratic values because supporting HK against suppressions is not a matter of left or right, but a matter of right or wrong.
2/ Beijing has never stopped its crackdowns on HK’s liberty, from the arrests of tens of thousands of HK protesters, the appointment of party committee members to university board, to the recent launch of national security hotlines that encourages snitching on neighbors.
3/ As far as I am aware, @KamalaHarris was also one of the co-sponsors of #HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct. When Beijing started to use the new draconian law to arrest HK protesters, @JoeBiden condemned the repression and urged putting American values back to its foreign policy.
4/ HKers hope the US administration can revise the worsening situation in HK and should not underestimate Beijing’s intention to tighten its grip since #engagementpolicy with China or dialogue may not be effective enough to hold China accountable over its human rights violations.
5/ Over the past decades, China has shown no respect for liberal values, international order and also its promise of the HK's autonomy & democracy. With its coercive diplomacy, China’s assertiveness increasingly threatens the economic & national security of the US and its allies.
6/ Apart from what the new administration should do, it's clear that HKers look forward to who the next Secretary of State will be and how the national security council is formulated. Even under same administration, @SecPompeo has placed more attention on HK than his predecessor.
7/ We hope the new administration understands the situation has changed dramatically in recent years, and it is impossible to turn back the clock. America should take the lead on protecting values that all democracies cherish.
8/ In order to ensure that China will play by the rule, actions sometimes speak louder than words. Feel free to subscribe to my Patreon channel to read more articles.https://www.patreon.com/posts/43696724
