tldr: #CCP's behaving like a 5-year-old on a playground, and it didn't quite work.

"We will not allow any country to reap benefits from doing business with China while groundlessly accusing and smearing China and undermining China's core interests based on ideology," said #ZhaoLijian, spokesperson of China's Foreign Ministry. #Canberra's reply is that #Australia will put its broader national interest above economic interests. What's more, Australian coal and wine have found their way to other markets, and their #ironore just kept being bought by #China simply because China needs them.

TLDR: #China is doubling their nukes that can reach the US mainland. // Bernard Lewis: Bilateral arms control NEEDS to be reintroduced. After the tragedy of the cold war, the world does not need another nuclear standoff. The #CubanMissileCrisis should have taught these superpowers that it only takes a push of a button for the world to end, but with China building up their nuclear armory, this cannot end well. Xi’s promise of building a “stronger” China will only bring the world death and misery.

"Whoever controls the past controls the future, whoever controls the present controls the past." #Orwell's words are gold. The impact of the forced closure of #AppleDaily is discovered and felt everyday. #Wikipedia's principle is verifiability, not the truth, so use it with care esp. when #Chinese netizens are pushing for state propaganda to be recognized as reliable news sources!

They're also trying to tip off #HongKong users to the national security?! Another way of saying that speaking the truth, or speaking at all, is a threat to the #CCP!

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ Have companies like #Google, #Facebook and #Twitter struck a deal with the #HongKong govt to let them push the law through as long as it only targets #HKers, and not the staff and hq? Or is the govt forcing the bill through risking a trigger for these companies to stop providing services to HK? This bill will even empower the authority to get hold of gadgets WITHOUT WARRANTS!

Also, how typical of the #HK government to sneak important announcement out at midnight like thieves (they are in a way). Luckily we don’t sleep.
