大搜捕只會成為全球反制中國的助燃料，讓國際社會與港人站在同一陣線，感謝阿拉伯半島電視台在此關鍵時刻發佈我的評論，「This fight is not just about Hong Kong」，這是全球對抗極權的戰爭，共勉之。
From anti-extradition law to anti-Authoritarian war, Hongkongers have gone through a long summer of protests in 2019. The smell of teargas becomes the collective memory of the whole generation. Waves of public anger flooded the city when people witnessed rounds of rubber bullets indiscriminately firing at children, elderly and pregnant women. Police officers unlawfully and unreasonably assaulted bystanders and protesters. Scenes of bloodshed shocked ordinary citizens and reminded them of the bitter memory of Tiananmen Square's bloody crackdown. With a strong sense of injustice, Hongkongers chose to stand up against unchecked police violence.
However, over the past nine months, Beijing and Hong Kong government have intensified its strong-arm policies on Hongkongers. Reuters reports that Beijing has deployed 4000 national security forces to Hong Kong. Together with the Chinese troops, 12000 forces are now stationing in the city, probably the largest deployment ever. Beijing top officials also urged to speed up the legislation of national security law in Hong Kong to tackle political dissidents. A few weeks ago, Hong Kong government also decided to spend extra 2.5 billion HK dollars on police forces, with its budget on teargas and rubber bullets tripled.
With all these clues, I believe China plans another crackdown on pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
Not to mention that Hong Kong is now under the growing shadow of China. Days ago, China just expelled US journalists from reporting in Hong Kong. It is the first time China has openly breached the promise of press freedom and autonomy enshrined in our One Country Two Systems framework.
In fact, China has been intensifying its suppression on critical voices, inside and outside China. Since 2015, human rights groups, civil rights lawyers and religious groups were the prime targets of China's political persecution. Over 1 million Uyghurs were detained in re-education camps in Xinjiang and assigned to factories for forced labour. Big companies like Blizzard, Disney and many Airlines are under pressure from China to back its political stance on Hong Kong and Taiwan.
To prevent China from further trampling on civil liberties, we need human rights sanctions as weapons. I urge the US State Department to include effective sanction mechanism in the forthcoming report on Hong Kong's autonomy. I also call upon the European Union to pass the Magnitsky Act.
This is a global battle against the worldwide expansion of authoritarian. This is also a fight to protect freedoms and democracy for the next generations. Hong Kong is now on the forefront. I hope the world can stand with us and join our fight!
