After days of closure, web services company Wix has restored the “2021 Hong Kong Charter” website which is home to a letter calling for the Hong Kong’s “democratic transformation, to realize the freedom, autonomy and democracy that were promised to Hong Kong.”
The letter details how China has been “tightening its totalitarian grip on Hong Kong” and calls for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to “stop all political oppression,” “stop with its digital totalitarianism” (through its mass digital surveillance systems), “stop the cultural cleansing and genocide in Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang and against other ethnic minorities,” and “stop its military intimidation against Taiwan.”
It has been signed by over 50 pro-democracy Hong Kong organizations and hundreds of individuals.
But on March 31, the 2021 Hong Kong Charter site was suddenly shut down by Wix after Hong Kong police told the company that the site’s materials violated its controversial “National Security Law” – a far-reaching law that criminalizes “secession,” “subversion,” and “collusion with foreign forces” and has been used to punish those who support democracy in Hong Kong.
How To Commemorate the Tiananmen Square Massacre of June 4, 1989
Tiananmen at 35 years: A mega post about the CCP's heinous crimes during the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Chinese Cultural Revolution, and Great Leap Forward - plus past/present struggle session photos
Comrades: Know your history. Today marks the 35th anniversary of the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. In modern clown world, we are living through a simultaneous slow-motion Tiananmen Square and Cultural Revolution.
The real death toll of Tiananmen Square will never be known. However, the thousands of peaceful protestors who were slaughtered are a rounding error compared to the tens of millions killed by the CCP over the past century. While the Nazis, Soviets, and Bolsheviks are long gone, the CCP is still in firm control over the world’s most populous country. They have crushed the spirit, culture, and history of one of the the world’s oldest civilizations. Yet they martyred Tank Man into an immortal symbol for all dissidents. ...
Like my pseudonym Yuri, I have a twist of fate connection to that infamous day. If the Tiananmen Square Massacre did not occur, my parents would have returned to China and I would have grown up there in a parallel universe. I would not have enjoyed the freedoms of America and the ability to tell these stories on this samizdat. My family knew several people who were killed or imprisoned, which prompted my grandparents to also flee. They chose to work at McDonald’s here as free people, rather than keep their careers as slaves living in fear. My father Yuri Sr. wanted to be a writer, but his parents pushed him to study science so he could capitalize on a slim chance to move to America. Now here I am 35 years later, writing on Substack and drawing attention to the horrors my family fled. For the full story, check out the struggle session podcast below. ...
The MSM no longer mentions Tiananmen Square, so we must amplify it here. Please share far and wide
