THREAD: #Beijing's #HongKong & Macao Affairs Office criticizes Legislative Council's official business & accuses #LegCo's elected members of breaking the oath of office. My short response is: "with due respect, it's none of your business!" Their areas of responsibility are:pic.twitter.com/7nSKhM9LxX
(2) When it comes to interfering with #HongKong's governance, the Central Government's achievements include: removing elected #LegCo members & ramming in #Extradition bill, thus triggering 6-month-long #antielab #FreeHongKong #AntiChinazi protests.https://hongkongfp.com/2020/04/12/hkfp-lens-defiance-voices-frontline-photography-from-the-hong-kong-protests/ …
(3) #Beijing's blatant disregard of #HongKong's autonomy and unjustified use of state violence led to the passing of the HK #HumanRights & #Democracy Act #HKHRDA in the USA. Activists & politicians in UK & Canada press for similar #Magnitsky sanctions.https://hongkongfp.com/2020/03/29/uk-impose-magnitsky-sanctions-upon-hong-kong-officials-cops/ …
(4) Such a clear violation of Basic Law's Article 22, which prohibits interference in #HongKong's affairs, comes in time for @StateDept's annual certification of HK’s autonomy & the sanction list to be imposed on all those responsible.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-13/china-says-hong-kong-lawmakers-stall-tactics-could-breach-oaths …
(5) Amid a major recession, #Beijing's further encroachment of #HongKong's freedom & autonomy will undermine & marginalize #HK's status as a economic & financial hub. Once a favorite of @Heritage, HK lost its No. 1 spot in the economic freedom index.https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-allows-google-internet-project-to-advance-only-if-hong-kong-is-cut-out-11586377674 …
(6) The #HongKong & Macao Affairs Office is totally out of touch with #HongKong public, many of whom erupted in cheers after news of police #WuhanVirus infection broke. More meddling in HK will alienate #Hongkongers & fuel further protests & separatism.https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/02/hong-kong-protesters-celebrate-police-officer-s-coronavirus-infection-with-kiwi-wine.html …
(7/End) Beijing's apparatus keeps arresting prominent media & political figures to stifle opposition & dissidence thru white terror. The Office's criticism of lawmakers is a veiled threat that Beijing is ready to remove any uncooperative #LegCo member. https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/03/27/hong-kong-dubious-arrest-pro-democracy-politician …
Their actions are in violation of Basic Law.pic.twitter.com/l4zWzMN1Wq
So they now say they are above the law. #HKHRDA
Just one thing: “With all due respect” not “With due respect”, otherwise you’re making the same mistake as “DR” Junius Ho did
