The latest Tweets from Denise Ho (HOCC) (@hoccgoomusic). Hong Kong singer/producer, pro-democracy and LGBTQI activist. HONG KONG
If you are a westerner interested in knowing how severe and ugly the situation in Hong Kong has become, Denise Ho is tweeting in English and sharing lots of English content. Many of the photos and clips are graphic/disturbing, so be warned. She’s also consistently interviewed in English/Western media. Here’s a piece from yesterday on BuzzFeedNews: This Hong Kong Pop Star Told Protesters To Stay Strong Against Chinese Scare Tactics The English language South China Morning Post is constantly updating: https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3022668/riot-police-protesters-clash-unprecedented-violence-hong HOCC 何韻詩 (fb) Of course, there are MANY other HK-based twitter accounts you can explore, including 周庭 Agnes Chow Ting, she posts in Chinese. Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 is one of the most prominent activists, and he tweets mostly in English. Joshua & Agnes are 2 of the founders of Demosistō 香港眾志 (twitter) From Wikipedia: “Demosistō is a pro-democracy organisation advocating self-determination for Hong Kong initially established on 10 April 2016 as a political party.”
Hong Kong Free Press is another English language account for HK/China news.
UPDATE: I don’t know if it’s just me, but Twitter won’t work if I click on a Twitter link from another browser window (I get the message: “Something went wrong.”), but if I paste the link into a new window, it works.
UPDATE: If you are following the news you know that the HK airport is closing intermittently because of the protest; the duo Deer Mx are trying to get out of town and go play some dates in their home country of Mexico. Well, I was wondering about bands that had dates scheduled in HK being able to arrive on time, but leaving on time is also an issue!
