The Hong Kong Government has proposed a bill to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, which will allow the Government to extradite fugitive offenders to countries or regions without Extradition Agreements with Hong Kong, including the rest of the People’s Republic of China.
The Bill will also remove the legislature’s power to scruntize such extradition arrangements, thereby centralizing the decision-making to the executives.
This controversial Bill would allow the authorities in the People’s Republic of China to arrest people in Hong Kong, or even confiscate their properties, through issuing Extradition Requests to the Hong Kong Government.
Therefore, we urge the US Government to voice opposition on such amendments, and review the existing Extradition Agreement with Hong Kong.

To my mutuals and followers,
I have to share what’s happening in my hometown right now, because I can't be sure if I still can tell the truth, or even access on the internet in the future.
Hong Kong citizens has been lived under the threat of our own democracy and freedom of speech (not about the political correctness opinions, but the basic human rights of call out injustice authority without worries for personal safety in this situation) being taken away once the governance of People’s Republic of China take over. This is the least thing we ever asked for.

(I’m not sure the conflicts about Tumblr userbase and news articles but PLEASE read some of these to understand what are we facing)
I can't give fine words to describe more details due to influent language, yet I still hope more of you know about this, to hope Tumblr learn more about what is happening outside America and other Western countries.
Because I can already foresee some day in the future, I may lose the chance to tell truths and facts forever.
And I believe people in Tumblr, whom always bear a deep caring on social issues, deserve to know what happened.
