As I write in the piece upthread, when I started interviewing Hong Kong protesters in summer, I was told by others that it will calm when schools open. Nope. Now they’re closing schools early. What happens when people in power believe their own propaganda.https://twitter.com/maryhui/status/1194565420881047552 …

Seems that the government of Hong Kong thinks escalating the crackdown is the way to go. What a profound misreading of the protests. The only kind of crackdown that will work will be the kind of crackdown that makes Hong Kong not at all Hong Kong anymore.https://twitter.com/xinqisu/status/1194655128936013824 …

I've come across this—Hong Kong protesters, medics etc. carrying wills on them. The government is apparently thinking of escalating the crackdown. If people are at the "wearing a shroud to the protest" stage, the crackdown would mean something unthinkable. https://twitter.com/hkwuliff/status/1194525119462297600 …

So this man is likely a white-collar employee at a big financial institution or corporation in Hong Kong (judging from the location). The police do all this in full view of people recording. It’s like designed to keep people from all walks of life united.https://twitter.com/woppa1woppa/status/1194757744508588032 …

So @niubi (and others) argue that the “enemy of the people” language from Hong Kong government signals plan to let chaos engulf the city—with blame falling on protesters. That might be their plan but it’s not gonna work if police teargas cars before 9 AM.https://twitter.com/tricialing/status/1194787634767265792 …

Yesterday, white collar workers in Hong Kong’s upscale financial district were breaking up bricks and joining human chains to pass them up to form barricades. They’re out today, too. HK government will have to either crackdown down maximally or back down.https://twitter.com/joceanw/status/1194860050277269505 …

Hong Kong students had planned another rally in solidarity with Uyghurs and Tibetans this Friday, but it can’t happen given the embattled state of many universities.https://twitter.com/hongkongfp/status/1195016343793258496 …

More escalation in Hong Kong. Hundreds of students are trapped in PolyU. Police said live bullets may be used and students can only leave to arrest and "riot" charges—ten years in jail. Graffiti inside PolyU: "China will harvest your home like Xinjiang."https://twitter.com/ssataline/status/1196371526414585856 …

Hikvision, a Chinese company that’s the worlds largest producer of surveillance cameras, was until recently marketing “artificial intelligence cameras” that they claimed could identity Uyghurs—the persecuted minority in Xinjiang.

There’s going to be a rally in Hong Kong this Sunday solidarity with the Uyghurs in China. These protest have now entered their seventh month.https://twitter.com/hongkongfp/status/1208320833455710213 …
