    There has been a debate on what the call Hong Kong’s protests. Summer of discontent? Nope, outlasted the summer. That’s the first day of 2020 so “protest of 2019” won’t do either. It was sparked by an extradition bill but at its heart, it’s a movement for democracy and autonomy.https://twitter.com/rachel_cheung1/status/1212357501221396480 …

    1.03 million took part in the protest on the first day of 2020 according to Civil Human Rights Front, even though the demonstration was abruptly cut short by police. pic.twitter.com/tUYqMlZUhn

        An earlier piece from me on how mainland Chinese government’s treatment of minorities—like the Uyghurs—and dissidents is a key example and motivator for Hong Kong protesters. It’s counter-contagion: HKers are deeply afraid of what will happen if they lose.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1194361687828242433 …

        Hong Kong protests are in their fifth month despite an escalating crackdown. How? One surprising answer: the fate of China's Uyghurs. Many talked to me about it. They watched and learned. They've decided that they "may as well go down fighting."

        We don’t mind only name this movement properly after we win it! Please join us in fighting against china totalitarian. Would be very helpful if you could start with supporting the new #BoycottBeijing2022 campaign.

        Many called it the Water Revolution as 'Be Water' is supposedly a principle in the entire movement.
