- hker 7y agoSome concrete actions that could help Hong Kong: 1. For governments worldwide: 1a. Freeze the assets of senior officials of the Chinese and Hong Kong governments who violated human rights, in the style of Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019. 1b. Stop exporting crowd-control equipment to Hong Kong which could be used by the Police Force. 2. For citizens worldwide: 2a. Urge your governments to do the above. 2b. Stop collaborating with China in the research and development of surveillance technology, which is being used also in Xinjiang. 2c. Purchase goods and services not from Chinese sources.
