I’m about to drop another depressing story about Hong Kong with @Nuttallreports. But first, a full minute video documenting the first time kittens Miko and Momo playing with the classic, “ball on string.”
Incredible development. The grey-eared Miko, who earlier didn’t really know what was going on, has made off with the ball leaving Momo with only the stick to play with!
I spoke with Alvin, who& #39;s trying to find out how to safeguard his rights.

Are your friends or family not online or don’t follow the news? This really is something every person has to pay attention to, even though it’s the latest in a series of unreal events of 2020. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2020/07/03/what-the-new-hong-kong-security-law-means-for-canadians-everywhere.html">https://www.thestar.com/news/cana...

Before working in mainland China, I made the decision to formally renounce my HKSAR/Chinese citizenship. It& #39;s actually unclear how much this will protect me if I get detained. People have asked me about the options for Hong Kongers with the privilege of a second passport...
There seems to be two avenues: 1) to officially declare a change of nationality and 2) to apply to renounce Chinese nationality. But please get expert advice first. Forms: https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/chinese_nationality/Application_for_Renunciation_of_Chinese_Nationality.html#:~:text=If%20the%20applicant%20is%20a,is%20of%20sound%20mind%3B%20and">https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/servi... and https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/chinese_nationality/Declaration_of_Change_of_Nationality.html">https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/servi...
Miko and Momo are happy to help! https://twitter.com/ThatMcRider/status/1279186274973372417">https://twitter.com/ThatMcRid...
Cheuk Kwan called the new law “ominous” and reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984.

“China is now bullying its way through the world and thinking they can control everybody else. They are actually criminalizing the kind of free speech we enjoy in Canada.” https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2020/07/03/what-the-new-hong-kong-security-law-means-for-canadians-everywhere.html">https://www.thestar.com/news/cana...

Example of how wide-ranging and draconian the security law is -- I just referenced the protest slogan, "Liberate Hong Kong" on the radio with @jodyvance. That itself means I may have violated the law. Unclear if media has the ability to use banned phrases. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/02/hong-kong-protesters-laying-low-following-mass-arrests-china">https://www.theguardian.com/world/202...
Ending this thread with a photo of Hong Kong born cats, now Canadian citizens. But remember, Beijing likely won’t recognize their Canadian citizenship. https://twitter.com/janeparryhk/status/1279196180673638400?s=21">https://twitter.com/janeparry... https://twitter.com/janeparryhk/status/1279196180673638400">https://twitter.com/janeparry...
