#Taiwanese officials have shown enthusiasm to this new growth in the partnership between the 2 nations. “#Taipei had long thought more dialogue with #Japan, especially on security matters, was needed.” said politician Lo Chih-cheng

Predictably, #CCP warned Japan against holding talks with #Taiwan, stating that it would “interfere with Chinese internal affairs”

While admittedly this post is posted from an iPhone - but we also want to point out the fact that Apple is trying to please #ccp for the large #china market. For people who live in democracy and governments in the free world - turning a blind eye on global corporates’ bending to CCP’s pressure will erode our democratic societies bits by bits. We need to put more political pressure on these companies.

Key takeaway: Bowing down to #CCP will cause "condomization", i.e. they throw you away like a used condom. "Pan-democrats" still planning to run for the stage-managed elections in December, are you taking notes?

The brute force of #Beijing is disgusting, but peculiarly #HongKongers are rather gleeful as most of them regard #ChengChungtai as a traitor to the fight for freedom. While he shows us how a defector pleases no one, let's not forget the implications of his arbitrary removal: CCP simply doesn't care to even put up a show in #HK anymore.

Looks like the forced shut down of #AppleDaily, conviction of #TongYingkit under the #nationalsecuritylaw, detention of 47 pro-democracy politicians, their torturous marathon trial etc did not hurt Lord Reed’s “good conscience”. Shameful.

Remember #ZhaoWei? If you live in #China, the answer is "I've never known that name." A celebrity close with #JackMa has been "vapourized", as #GeorgeOrwell would say. On the morning of 27 August, her social media pages were gone, all her works (drama series and films) were removed, her "friends" deleted pictures with her. All of a sudden, we're supposed to pretend that she never existed. Naturally, people can talk of no one and nothing but her virtual disappearance.

We may never know what has happened, but there is a trend of #CCP banning celebrity culture. More on this later.
