1/2 Som eneste sted i Folkerepublikken organiserte Hongkongalliansen årlige markeringer til minne om etter protestene på Den himmelske freds plass 4. juni 1989. På fastlandet blir enhver antydning til at det skjedde noe eksepsjonelt denne dagen slått ned av sensuren.

1/2 Urovekkende ofte framstilles Kina som en potensiell leder for en regelstyrt verdensorden. Denne oppfatningen forutsetter manglende innsikt i hvordan Beijing undergraver denne ordenen. I dag publiserer Aftenposten et innlegg jeg har skrevet om dette. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

Kina bryter folkeretten, presser kritikere økonomisk og støtter Russlands krigføring. Da blir det feil at Aftenposten omtaler landet som en forsvarer av en regelbasert verdensorden.

Gwyneth Ho Kwai-lam. Activist and ex-journalist who many Hongkongers first came to know via a livestream she recorded of thugs attacking MTR train passengers on July 21st, 2019, on the assumption that they were pro-democracy protestors returning from a protest march that took place earlier that day.
