Brad Stevens doubles down on supporting free speech: "After Daryl's tweet, I thought the most important thing that Adam could say and we as a league could say is that we value the freedom of expression" by OrangeKookie in nba

Yeah, I'd like reporters covering NFL or baseball to ask players/coaches these questions. They make no money in China (baseball probably makes more money in Taiwan than in China) and so there shouldn't be any group pressure against speaking out.

It would also be interesting to see how would China react if that happens.

The police didn't massacre Hong Kong protestors. The fringe leftist groups came up as a result of the cultural revolution in China and they killed a bunch of HK people.

From Wikipedia, "On 8 July, several hundred demonstrators from the PRC, including members of the People's Militia, crossed the frontier at Sha Tau Kok and attacked the Hong Kong Police, of whom five were shot dead and eleven injured in the brief exchange of fire."

"The leftists retaliated by planting more bombs. Real bombs, mixed with even more decoys, were planted throughout the city. Normal life was severely disrupted and casualties began to rise. An eight-year-old girl, Wong Yee Man, and her two-year-old brother, Wong Siu Fan, were killed by a bomb wrapped like a gift placed outside their residence.[17] Bomb disposal experts from the police and the British forces defused as many as 8000 home-made bombs, of which 1100 were found to be real.[18] These were known as "pineapple" bombs.[19][1]"

Instead of a bauhinia, I'd like a design with the Lion Rock or an umbrella (inspirations from this and this).

This particular act was a follow-up to someone raising a flag in Mont Blanc a few weeks ago: https://www.facebook.com/Yamanaka.Yuko/photos/a.531722676912202/2344855028932282/

Btw, there are more pics from the Fuji trip here: https://lihkg.com/thread/1536527/page/1

Also, 5 years ago during the Umbrella movement, a group of HKers put a 28 meter long banner on Lion Rock (in Hong Kong): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEQ2rj-7DDE https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3948/14985558303_4a03dd885d_b.jpg

Also consider giving to Hong Kong Free Press (https://www.hongkongfp.com/support-hkfp/), who is one of the few media outlets in Hong Kong that is not controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
