#Editorial by AppleDailyHK | "When being asked whether the new electoral system aims to get rid of all pro-democracy camp candidates, she teased, “the way you asked questions sounds like the pro-democracy camp must be unpatriotic. I think this is unfair to them.” Who said pro-democracy camp equates to unpatriotic? Was she blaming the reporters again? So how come has the District Council, led by the pro-democracy camp, been kicked out of the patriotic system? In an era when people calling a deer a horse, the meaning of pro-democracy camp and patriots are all being defined by the CCP. Whether the pro-democracy camp is patriotic or not, or whether the patriots are pro-democracy, depends on what the CCP needs to say at the time. The new Hong Kong people and a new pro-democracy camp have already been created for the era to fit into the new democratic electoral system with CCP Hong Kong characteristics and the new governance thinking of the Lam administration."

"對輿論質疑新選舉制度是要趕絕民主派,林鄭就揶揄:「有時候我覺得你們這些問題是把民主派等同於『不愛國』,這對民主派非常不公道。」是誰把民主派等同於不愛國?又是記者?那麼,由民主派主導的現屆區議會,為甚麼被踢出愛國者治港的體制?在指鹿為馬的新時代,民主派與愛國者都由中共定義,龍門任搬,民主派愛不愛國、愛黨愛國者是不是民主派,還不都是由中共視乎需要說了算?新香港人、新民主派已經應時而生,不只切合中共香港特色的新民主選舉制度,也切合林鄭政府的管治新思維。"

【《紐約時報》投稿 —— Joshua Wong: Hong Kong Still Has Many Ways to Resist】
當下時勢,投稿到外媒,好像會被質疑玩命,但我仍想盡力發聲。
Ever since a new round of pro-democracy protests broke out in Hong Kong last year, journalists from both local and global media have exposed how freedoms are shrinking, human rights are deteriorating and police brutality is worsening in the city.
Now, with new sweeping powers under the national security law that China promulgated for Hong Kong on June 30, the news media themselves are in the Chinese government’s crosshairs.
The publisher Jimmy Lai, whose media company puts out the popular tabloid Apple Daily, has long been one of Beijing’s most vocal critics in HK. Mr.Lai was arrested on Monday morning under the recent law, for allegedly colluding with foreign forces.
The paper’s office was raided by dozens of police. Lai was released on bail late Tues night. A special unit has been created in the Immigration Department to vet visa applications that are deemed to be sensitive, including for foreign correspondents, according to The Standard.
The Hong Kong police now grants access to ground operations only to “trusted media outlets”: On Monday, reporters from Reuters, Agence France-Presse and The Associated Press, among others, reportedly were blocked from the scene of the raid at Apple Daily. Police cordoned off the headquarters of the tabloid Apple Daily after Lai’s arrest. Freedom of speech and of the press, both vital to the rule of law and the city’s vibrancy, are under attack.
China is extending to HK the regime of media regulation and repression that it applies on the mainland. Today, it’s the media. Yesterday, it was legislators, contenders to political office & activists: Recently, just after disqualifying pro-democracy candidates from running in elections scheduled for Sep, the HK authorities delayed by a year — paving the way, I think, for their being cancelled. Tmr, who knows who will be China’s next targets. But I do know that many HKers will respond then, too, by demonstrating our solidarity, creatively.
In a show of support for Mr. Lai and Apple Daily, people have been buying up shares of his media company: The stock’s price surged by 1,200 percent in less than two days. I began writing this Op-Ed on Monday evening. A few hours later I learned that Agnes Chow, a former colleague and ex-member of our political group Demosisto, was arrested, also for violating the national security law — also for allegedly “colluding with foreign forces.”
But Agnes had quit Demosisto on the morning of June 30, before the new law went into effect and its text was released, and she had ceased all activism; she even stopped updating her Twitter account. (She, too, was released on bail Tuesday night.) Before her arrest she had been tailed by unknown agents for days, she said. An infrared camera had been installed in front of the main entrance to her home, according to a neighbour. I fear that other dissenting voices in HK will also face this kind of surveillance, harassment & persecution.
On Tues, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress in Beijing announced that in light of the delayed election, the term of HK’s current legislature would be extended for “no less than one year.” Carrie Lam expressed her “heartfelt gratitude” for that decision. No limit has been placed on the term of this interim legislative body, meaning that it could be endlessly extended, with no further elections — more or less as happened in Taiwan during the island’s authoritarian decades, between the late 1940s and the early 1990s.
And yet, in the face of this darkest new era of censorship and repression, HK’s spirit of resistance is unflagging. Many HKers lined up in the early hours of Tuesday to buy the day’s edition of Apple Daily. Some groups bought up stashes of the paper to distribute for free to passers-by. More than 500,000 copies had to be printed in total, five times the usual. Hong Kongers will keep finding ways, big and small, to resist.

臺灣漫畫基地 Taiwan Comic Base《反抗的畫筆──香港反送中運動週年圖像展》觀後感
Part 1: 有關展覽
展覽重現了葵芳連儂牆與太子站
看著眾多藝術家的作品,過去一年香港民主運動的記憶:悲傷、憤怒、感動,一一浮現
在香港,連儂牆被消失;在台灣,文宣作品能自由展出
這樣更顯出自由的可貴,值得去好好守護
謝謝各位藝術家、策展人Jean與她的團隊,還有漫畫基地,帶來了這個很用心、很有意思的展覽
Part 2: 文宣的意義?
這或許不能「實質地」達到民主
這或許不能替受傷的人止血
這或許不能餵飽與家人鬧翻的年輕人
那麼⋯⋯為甚麼需要文宣呢?
這可以傳播真相
這可以治癒受傷的心
這可以把人們連在一起,無分國界
這是圖像的力量
每個人的力量都很小,但每個人也在努力著
願大家平安,毋忘初心

About Taiwan Comic Base “Hong Kong Anti-extradition Art Exhibition”
Part 1: About the exhibition
The exhibition is reconstructing the scene of Kwai Fong Lennon Wall and Prince Edward Station.
From artists’ works, it recalls the memories of incidents in Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, tragedy, anger, and love.
While Lennon Walls are disappearing in Hong Kong, political illustrations are able to be exhibited in Taiwan, freely.
Freedom is so much treasurable, and worth to fight for.
Thanks all artists, Jean, her team, and Comic Base for the extraordinary exhibition.
Part 2: Meaning of political illustration?
It may not be a “effective” way to achieve democracy.
It may not heal the bleeding wounds.
It may not end the hunger of youngsters who quarrel with family.
Then....Why people need the illustrations?
It may spread the truth.
It may heal people’s heart.
It may bring people together, without boundries.
That’s the power of illustration.
Every one is weak, but every one is contributing.
Stay safe, Stay strong.
