Shortlist of the issues I care about / support:

Movements that are part of the Milk Tea Alliance:

Free Hong Kong

Taiwan's struggle against Chinese encroachment

Thailand Protests

Myanmar anti-coup protests

Free Tibet

East Turkestan Independence

Black Lives Matter

Woman, Life, Freedom

Ukrainian resistance against Russia

Free Palestine

If you're asking me why I'm supporting Palestine, that's because I believe human rights should be for everyone in the world and not just for people who are like me. Whoever is under oppression and needs help, I will stand with them.

And my support for Palestine will not diminish my support for these other movements that I'm already getting behind.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

what happened in 2019?

So, 2019 is really the first time that we really heard of facial recognition being used to identify protestors. The big one I can really name was the 2019 Honk Kong demonstration that was protesting the way that law enforcement could handle international affairs of criminality.

Unfortunately, I can't remember all of the specific details at the moment, but I know that biometric data was used to track down protestors so that they could be arrested and tried and criminals. Just for wanting a law amended.

We saw the same thing happen with the 2020 protests around the world. And it's continued on to this day.

Saw a post that saying the Twitter downfall was planned because it was one of the main global platforms for the spread of news and means of political organizing and activism as well as where investigative researchers post breaking news. Honestly makes me scared that the rich and powerful will go as far as buying a company for 44 billion and purposefully tank it

“Revisionism — with its ancillary altering or obliteration of memory — is an act of repression. It’s the same playbook China used after violently crushing the 1989 pro-democracy demonstrations in Beijing. Then, state-induced amnesia was imposed gradually. At first the government churned out propaganda that labeled those protests as a counterrevolutionary rebellion that had to be suppressed. But over the years, the state slowly excised all public memory of its killings. [...]

I worked in Hong Kong’s once-cacophonous newsrooms and covered its boisterous protest rallies. Now most Hong Kong journalists I know have fallen silent. Some are in jail, some are in exile, and some no longer write, as no publications are left that will publish them. After a draconian national security law was imposed on Hong Kong in 2020, at least 12 news outlets closed down, including the popular, pro-democracy Apple Daily. Its founder, Jimmy Lai, could face life in prison on national security charges, and six of its executives have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, a vague charge introduced with the new security law. Some of the shuttered outlets pulled their archives from the internet. This is how history is erased, both virtually and literally. [...]

History is identity, and to challenge this foundational tenet of Hong Kongers’ experience is to assault their identity. Britain did not establish full electoral democracy in Hong Kong, but it left behind a stubborn respect for civic values, a free press and a desire for political participation that fueled the huge protests of 2019. The act of rewriting history whisks away the cornerstone of that legacy, recasting Hong Kongers as victims of an occupying force rather than as agents of their own fate. [...]

Forgetting is a process of many steps.

Another is to purge those who will not forget. More than 10,000 people were arrested during the 2019 protests. An action as minor as throwing a water bottle at a police vehicle or wearing black clothes and goggles can bring a jail term. Some people were convicted on the grounds that they facilitated, assisted or merely encouraged rioters. Words are used as weapons, and in Hong Kong the repeated use of the word “riot” obliterates one version of the past — that many protests were peaceful — while creating a retrospective alternate reality that serves the politics of the present.”

This is a fantastic article about the situation in Hong Kong right now. Please take some time out of your day to read it, I highly recommend it. Bolded emphasis is my own.

The Meaning of Leaving

Toronto poet Kate Rogers talks to Emily Cann about her debut collection The Meaning of Leaving (AOS Publishing, 2023) Emily Cann (EC): The poems in this collection do a great deal of storytelling. “The Passing of Sean Connery,” for example, crafts the story of an abusive five-year relationship. The collection as a whole tells stories of relationships, migrations, and life. What secrets and/or…

Why China feels threatened by the moral authority of a 90-year-old Catholic bishop

Cardinal Joseph Zen trial began on Sept. 19, 2022, in Hong Kong for his role as a trustee of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund. This organisation paid legal fees and medical bills for Hong Kongers protesting the Extradition Law Amendment Bill. This 2019 legislation would have allowed extradition to the People’s Republic of China. Many residents viewed this as a subversion of Hong Kong’s…

The Making of the Mascots of the ‘Hong Konger’ Identity

In commemoration of the Yuen Long attacks on 21st July 2019, I will be uploading this essay I wrote for my academic writing class. On the 10th of November 2014, Hong Kongers took to the streets in mass protest against a new proposed election package suggested by Beijing. To defend themselves using peaceful means from the Hong Kong police who relentlessly used pepper spray to disperse the crowd,…

The #nnevvy story: how a punitive expedition of Chinese trolls on Twitter has turned against the CCP

New Post has been published on https://china-underground.com/2020/04/15/the-nnevvy-story-how-a-punitive-expedition-of-chinese-trolls-on-twitter-has-turned-against-the-ccp/

The #nnevvy story: how a punitive expedition of Chinese trolls on Twitter has turned against the CCP

The controversy against a Thai actor and his girlfriend turned against the Chinese nationalist netizens closest to the CCP while demonstrating the Chinese propaganda machine’s inability to interpret and fully understand the feelings of young people from neighboring countries.

On social networks, especially Twitter and Facebook, a war with no holds barred between Chinese trolls and Thai youth broke out after a Thai actor, Vachirawit Chivaaree, liked an image on Twitter that depicted Hong Kong as an independent “country”.

Many Chinese netizens had flooded his account on Instagram and other social networks, criticizing him and trying to correct him. The actor, therefore, posted an apologetic post for the “lack of attention in talking about Hong Kong”, which is in fact a semi-autonomous city, and not an independent nation.

The actor is not the first, and certainly will not be the last celebrity to unwittingly offend the hypersensitive Chinese public and then apologize for Taiwan and Hong Kong issues.

For years we have also witnessed ranks of Chinese trolls flooding with negative comments the pages on Facebook and Twitter, social networks banned in China of pro-Uigur groups, Taiwanese government, etc.

After the apology of the actor, some users of Weibo, the popular Chinese social network, have identified other posts of the actor and in particular of his girlfriend, Weeraya Sukaram, who is known on the network under the pseudonym of Nnevvy, where she sympathized for the independence of Taiwan.

Netizens have therefore started to boycott Vachirawit and his TV show “2gether” and some have gone further by starting to insult them both on Weibo and on Twitter using the hashtag #nnevvy.

Weeraya did not respond to requests for comment and none of the messages were visible on her accounts.

On Weibo, the hashtag has been used over 1.5 million times, totaling more than 4 billion views, according to the Global Times.

From this moment, however, the situation seems to have gotten out of hand to the Chinese defamation machine, so much so that some Chinese trolls have started to harass the actor’s Thai fans on Twitter and to openly insult Thailand and its government.

In this frantic search for a total confrontation with the Thais, rather than make indignant the local public, they were greeted with joy by the more liberal young Thais.

I hereby declare Thailand will be my first travel destination as soon as the epidemic is over! I think I’ll call this an Asia Bromance! 🇹🇭🇭🇰🇹🇼 #nnevvy pic.twitter.com/yXxaFDGKxj

— GrilledCorn (@CornGrilled) April 13, 2020

They, therefore, invited the Chinese trolls to insult their government, already the object of their criticism, with even more ardor, and displacing the Chinese netizens not accustomed to contesting the authority of their country.

In a very short time, young Thai people were also joined by users from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Former Hong Kong legislator Nathan Law commented: “so funny watching the pro-CCP online army trying to attack Bright. They think every Thai person must be like them, who love Emperor Xi. What they don’t understand is that Bright’s fans are young and progressive, and the pro-CCP army always make the wrong attacks.”

In a short time, #nnevvy turned into a hashtag dominated by anti-CCP sentiments, despite the collective effort to flood it with more positive posts towards the Asian giant (such as Chinese noodle dishes, landscapes or various recipes) and in an opportunity to discuss issues that often struggle to be addressed in Far Eastern countries.

Joshua Wong, the secretary of the Democratic Demosisto party (here, here and here you can find some of our interviews), urged the young people of Hong Kong to support Thai peers, to give life to a new type of pan-Asian solidarity that is opposed to all forms of authoritarianism.

[The statement by Chinese Embassy Bangkok is sheer arrogance and ignorance.] 1/ It is indisputable that the #nnevvy saga was provoked by the Chinese nationalist trolls, by firstly doxing, insulting and demeaning the Thai celebrities and people in Thailand. pic.twitter.com/EvzjQz6sqZ

— Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 (@joshuawongcf) April 15, 2020

Filipino youth finally joined the protests against China for its actions in the South China Sea dispute.

Even on Weibo, commentary has begun on the failure of the punitive expedition of the Chinese nationalist trolls.

It is not the first time, and probably will not be the last, that Chinese nationalist efforts ultimately get out of hand with propaganda, eventually damaging the country’s reputation abroad and among neighboring countries.

I found this #nnevvy meme to explain why Thai netizens are winning the PR war on Twitter. I think it all comes down to one simple fact: while Thai people love Thailand, they don’t equate country with gov’t, which frees them from blind loyalty and the “glass heart” syndrome. 🇹🇭 pic.twitter.com/j8Eg04fTbM

“HONG KONG IS NOT SAFE ANYMORE”

CARDINAL JOSEPH ZEN ARRESTED BY HONG KONG’S NATIONAL SECURITY POLICE

China is Cutting up People’s Passports - This is Bad - Episode #108

We have been knee deep in research on this topic, and it goes way deeper than you think. China has been restricting movement to the point of cutting up passports, and not issuing them at all. What does this mean?

ANSWER; THE OLDEST CULTURE OF ANCIENT WISDOM HAS DETERIORATED TO THE LOWEST FORM OF AUTOCRATIC BUREAUCRACY ON THE EARTH - MARXISM, THE MOST SUBVERSIVE, INEFFICIENT TRANCE STATE EVER INVENTED. HERE LETS PUT A DAB OF CHINESE CHARACTERISTIC LIKE A CHERRY ON TOP - THERE, THAT LOOKS BETTER

AS WE’VE WITNESSED, IT’S ONLY PUNY MINDS THAT CONGRATULATE THE TORTURE AND EVIL THAT IS COMMUNISM, AND UNACCOUNTABLE CENTRALIZED POWER
