Is having a corgi showing their loyalty to the British? It's interesting seeing videos of Joshua Wong out in public when he's not in front of a news camera. If someone in the US got the attention he's gotten, people would be treating him with some celebrity. I saw that video when he was running for whatever political position on the street handing out flyers and people were ignoring him like he was a street beggar.

Living in westernized apartment with western dog is what elites in HK think separating them from commoners and making them superior.

Here's a great take on the situation in Hong Kong. It's a shame it's 6 months old. As one can add a lot more violence carried out by the thugs.

Nevertheless, the commentary is spot on.

Typical western AstroTurf sock puppet who is only famous because the western MSM endlessly blow their trumpets, but are completely Unknown nobodies to their own people before all the western media attention.

This is true for pretty much every ‘prominent’ Chinese dissident.

Yes. I remember that girl trying to conceal the stabbing with an umbrella. Bravo to the whomever recognized the link.
Time for Arrest :)


Actually I wouldn't be surprised it's not the Hong Kong net-citizens that did the ID. China's secret services and face IS recognition is renown. Apperently it can recognise from just a few facial features such as an eye or ear.

Whatever, these people needs to be send to those Xinjing re-education camps the west keep telling us about.

The BBC, The great bastion of the western free press. It keeps telling viewers they are fair and impartial. But fail to say they are pay by the government with appointment only of its chairman by the government. So in effect, a government mouthpiece.

And here they give their bias view on Hong Kong. With grabbing headlines like 'singers in fear of their future'. Then they wheeled out Denise Ho! And not much wrong in what they wrote, except.... it is what they don't write that should be of interest.

Denise Ho, famous singer once performed on China, and now can't! Mmm. Well, why don't the BBC mentioned when she did perform in China, there's pictures of her waving the 5 star flag enthusiastically on stage and other places. Mmm

The fact she is famous in 2000. And her stars have long faded by 2014 was not mentioned.

And finally, why should she fear the national security law? At worse, she will get deported and barred from coming in to Hong Kong due to the the fact she, like Jimmy Lai is another Canadian national was the fact conviently not mentioned.

Two Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmakers arrested over protests

Sixteen people arrested in early morning police operation targeting city's democracy camp


Two prominent Hong Kong opposition lawmakers were arrested on Wednesday in a police operation focused on last year's huge anti-government protests, the latest move in a widening crackdown against the city's democracy camp.
Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui were detained after raids on their homes early on Wednesday morning according to their Democratic Party and statements on their verified Facebook accounts.

A police source told AFP that 16 people - including Mr Lam and Mr Hui - were

on Wednesday morning, which focused on anti-government protests in July last year.
Both are minority pro-democracy lawmakers in the city's partially elected legislature and vocal critics of both Beijing and the Hong Kong government.

A post on Mr Lam's Facebook page said he was arrested "on suspicion of participating in rioting on 21 July" last year.

That day, Mr Lam and dozens of pro-democracy protesters were beaten by a gang of government supporters, some with "triad" organised crime links, in the town of Yuen Long.

Police were late to arrive on the scene and were also filmed allowing some of the armed attackers to leave, scenes that sent already swirling distrust of the force skyrocketing and helped fuel the months of protests.
Mr Lam was also charged with "conspiring to damage property and obstruction of justice outside Tuen Mun police station on 6 July last year", the statement said.

Mr Hui's office released video footage of his arrest where officers said they were charging him with attempted obstruction of justice, access to a computer with criminal or dishonest intent and criminal damage.


He was later led from his house in handcuffs. The party said his charges also stemmed from a protest on 6 July last year.
Police did not respond to requests for comment.
Beginning in early June last year, Hong Kong was hit by seven straight months of huge and often violent pro-democracy protests in which more than 9,000 people were arrested.

The huge rallies upended the city's reputation for stability and sparked a crackdown by China that has dramatically gathered pace this year.
In late June, Beijing imposed a

on the city, tightening Communist Party control over the semi-autonomous city and ending the legal firewall between the two territories.
Overnight, certain political views such as advocating independence or greater autonomy for Hong Kong became illegal and arrests have followed.

A dozen pro-democracy figures were also

on a group of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and declared the financial hub was no longer sufficiently autonomous from the authoritarian mainland.

The protests died down at the start of the year thanks to mass arrests and the coronavirus pandemic.
But police have since arrested dozens of prominent pro-democracy figures on a slew of charges related to the rallies and the court diaries are now filled with hearings and trials.
