A billionaire Chinese national, Liu Dian Bo, bought 34 Australian hospitals in 2015 for $900 million. They have 8000 beds. Now that the country needs them most, the billionaire is shutting them down. His company wants more money from the government.
Universities in
#HongKong
, which are supposed to be the breeding ground for future leaders, are being turned into battlefields by law-breaking students. The city's police said they have intelligence suggesting that schools were being used as weapons factories in the past few days
As the US
#COVID19
situation becomes increasingly obscure, the Chinese public shares the suspicion raised by Zhao Lijian
@zlj517
that the US might be the source of the virus and that the US is subject questioning and is obliged to explain the world.
Jimmy Lai is a hero. But not all Hong Kongers have to follow his example. If you fight the
#CCP
in the open, fight from offshore. If you want to fight it from the inside, they should think you're on their side.
#HongKong
#HK
On Friday, Secretary for Civil Service Joshua Law wrote to all civil servants saying they would face immediate suspension from duties if they are simply arrested - rather than convicted - in relation to the ongoing protests.

Mitch McConnell
@senatemajldr
should pass the
#HKHRDA
or he will be held responsible for the next Tiananmen Square massacre if it happens in
#HongKong
.
Mitch McConnell
@senatemajldr
, this violence in
#HongKong
is your fault for not taking quick action to pass the
#HKHRDA
. You are encouraging
#China
to think they can get away with murder. Get your hand out of China's purse and vote!
#China
's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is wrongly calling an organization that I advise, East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (ETNAM), which nonviolently advocates independence from China, a terrorist organization called ETIM.
61% of US voters are following the
#HongKongProtests
. 59% think Hong Kong should be independent from China, 7% said they should not be, and 34% were unsure. Asians were the most supportive of independence at 78%.
"After 2050, China will conquer the whole world and the US and Russia will adopt the communist system. If I were you, I would not be able to sleep... Americans think they are superior to others, just like the Romans, but death is close, and no one notices it." - Chinese national
#China
has too much power, wielded too illiberally, and needs to be opposed, starting with US and EU economic sanctions against its treatment of
#EastTurkistan
,
#Tibet
,
#Taiwan
, and
#HongKong
, all of which should be fully independent sovereign nations.
#HongKongers
are on the frontline in the fight against dictatorship. It's not just YOUR fight, it's the fight of all who love democracy. If
#HongKong
loses we all lose, because
#China
could use
#HK
against us in the future. Let's together make sure democracy wins in
#HK

#HKPoliceTerrorism
#hkpolicebrutality
China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) veterans have a chorus in Canada, where they celebrate the forces that executed the Tiananmen Square massacre. This is not a joke.
This is non-standard crowd control because the lone police officer appears to have no or little backup. Is he trying to provoke a violent reaction from the crowd? They are impressively staying very nonviolent.
#Gandhi
#MLK
The 1984 Sino-British
#JointDeclaration
is breached, so
#Britain
should take back control of its former colony and transition it to democracy and independence, protected by the U.S. and allied military forces. The
#PLA
should get off the territory.
That China's foreign ministry spokesman is now calling Hong Kongers "terrorists" is incredibly concerning, as this is what the PRC called Uyghurs before herding them into concentration camps.
#NeverAgain
Mitch McConnell, how many more eyes need to get shot out before you get the
#HKHRDA
passed? Do the right thing, for once. You are responsible for dragging out this tragedy.
@senatemajldr
Hong Kong rules football. You have invented a deadly serious new sport where the ball is not an object, but an idea, and that idea is democracy. Let the home team win.
#FreeHongKong
The right decision for the
#UK
is now back on the table: denying
#China
's
@Huawei
access to Britain's
#5G
info-infrastructure.
@BorisJohnson
is mad as hell from China's lies about
#Covid_19
and China is going to pay.
Great to hear that Japan and South Korea are joining major NATO air exercises in Europe to deter Russia. Let's make sure we return the favor in Asia to deter China.
China is in trouble economically, and so again courts the US and EU. We shouldn't fall for it. In fact, we should exploit Beijing's weakness and up our demands. Either China democratizes, or we decouple.
It is important for
#HK
people to contact US congressional representatives. HKers have no true democratic reps of their own so until universal suffrage is achieved the
#USA
reps must take in our
#HongKong
brothers and sisters as their own.

We are already in a Cold War with China and China started it. Through 8 years of Obama, the nicest guy ever, China was undermining Hong Kong, grabbing territory in the South China Sea and sending military flights to Japan, Taiwan, and soldiers against India to grab a few km.
#EU
Some people talk about a possible “new Cold War” between China and US, but it is abundant clear that China has been resisting and preventing such a scenario while hawks in US are pushing it. Europeans and the rest of the world have no appetite to join the hawks in Washington.
The reason why Kabul fell so quickly to the Taliban is that the Taliban had infiltrated and compromised Afghanistan's leadership. China is trying to do the same in Washington, DC.
China is buying up computer game design companies around the world, including in the US, Canada, Japan, and France. The companies can be used to influence youth and adults in democracies, and hack our information systems. The purchases should be banned.
If the Chinese state doesn't allow Twitter in China, why does the US government allow Chinese state propaganda on Twitter? We need informational reciprocity, not one-way propaganda. Freedom of speech is not a defense here. CCP propaganda is not freedom of speech but the opposite
Why the US wants to separate
#Xinjiang
from China?
Because its location is too crucial for them to destabilize Eurasia.
In this video, I laid out the strategic location of Xinjiang, and how CIA experts planned long ago to destabilize
#China
by playing the "Uyghur card."👇
"Today, the United States designates 11 individuals pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13936. These individuals include Carrie Lam, Teresa Cheng, Erick Tsang, Zheng Yanxiong, Eric Chan, John Lee Ka-chiu, and Chris Tang, for..." -US Dept of State
A hospital system is clearly broken if it is closing down for lack of profit during a national health emergency like the
#Covid_19
pandemic. Aussies should nationalize their hospitals now -- for a fair price.
Chris Patten, the last British Governor of
#HongKong
, says Carrie Lam would have to be crazy to have alone taken decisions like the mask law. The implication is that she is under orders from Beijing.
Kick
#China
out of the
#UN
. Sanction China's UN diplomats by refusing them visas to the
#NYC
region. The UN should be free to rule on
#HongKong
without the shadow of a China veto in the UN Security Council.
First they came for protesters in black, and I did not speak out because I did not wear black.
Then they came for the press, then the first aiders, then the peaceful protesters. Again I did not speak out.
Then they came for me, and there was nobody left to speak. ht M Niemoeller
Why and how the
#USA
should help
#HongKong
by Helen Raleigh: 1) Pass the HK Human Rights and Democracy Act, 2) Use the Magnitsky Act to sanction individuals responsible for human rights abuse in
#HK
, and 3) speed up political askylum for
#HongKongers
.
I'm so inspired by seeing
#Democracy
take charge in
#HongKong
with these 3,033 voting hospital union members. This could be the seed of democracy that grows into a truly democratic government in
#HongKong
or even
#China
. Please make it so - the world needs this.
The
#hongkongprotests
are making the point that their struggle for
#democracy
is not just for themselves, or even for
#china
. Their struggle for democracy is a global struggle. The
#ccp
is so powerful that if it wins in
#hk
, it will win everywhere.
Carrie Lam, I think you and your CCP supporters are the people's enemy. You and the CCP are standing in the way of democratic progress.

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said the violence that is roiling the former British colony has exceeded protesters' demands for democracy and demonstrators are now the people's enemy.
#PeterNavarro
in the White House wants an all-American supply of
#n95masks
to ensure that we are never dependent on

for our healthcare needs. This strategy applies much further ... to antibiotics, and all emergency healthcare supplies.

China's economic prospects are so bad that markets have surprised the People's Bank of China that sets the USD-RMB trading band. The renminbi is dropping so fast as to cause the PBoC to sell its dollars to buy yuan. It doesn't have many options given slowing economic growth and
Hong Kong pro-democracy and pro-government lawmakers are arguing with each other inside the chamber to take control of the Legco house committee meeting. It is set to start at 2:30pm.
#HongKongProtests
Youtube admits to taking down comments critical of the CCP - says it was an "error". So, now we can say "communist bandit" again just like in the 1950s.
There's a disturbing lack of media coverage of the San Uk Ling Holding Center near the
#China
/
#HongKong
border, where allegations of torture and rape are surfacing on social media, but where
#HK
lawmakers and press are denied entry to investigate.
Don't think
#China
is a threat? Read General Qiao Liang's book "Unrestricted Warfare". He's ready for gray zone tactics, limited use of force and economic sanctions. Let's give them something they don't expect. Defeat the

#WorldBank
whistleblower argued against $50 million loan to

There's a politician in the UK who is honest about
#China
:
@NJ_Timothy
. He was Prime Minister Theresa May's senior adviser. He says China "cannot be trusted, it is a danger to the world: it is time for us to get real." Please follow him.
Too bad that
#Taiwan
and true
#Hongkongers
have no voice at the

. Time to kick out CCP China and return its seat to representatives who actually represent people.
Speaking on behalf of Hong Kong Federation of Women,Pansy Ho condemns the increasingly escalating acts of the Hong Kong radical protesters during the dialogue with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at the 42st session of the Human Rights Council.

Citizens covered a black clad girl who was almost caught by riot police in Central with their bodies, despite rounds of pepper spray in super close range.
@anderscorr
We will fight to the end.
But if we failed & vanished in the battle against CCP, the worst tyranny ever, please tell everyone we had already fought with all we have for freedom & dignity.
China is trying to lead the world, and the UN, in an illiberal direction. Drastic action is needed. Kick China out of the UN and put Taiwan back in its place. Case in point:
Long list of U.S. members of Congress Twitter accounts: . I would suggest that some group of activists in
#HongKong
divide up the list so they all get equal treatment (and not the same congresspeople get all the tweets).
“I feel relieved… After months of witnessing youths being arrested and prosecuted while I stayed out of it, I actually felt guilty. I have been eventually prosecuted and have no regrets. I feel proud to walk the road of democracy ...” -Statesman Martin Lee, HKFP/SCMP
I'm not surprised that
#China
's
#CCP
members would justify 9/11 and California independence. In fact, there is a strong argument that China supports terrorism in reality:
