This is the kind of psychological warfare that the people in #HongKong are experiencing through social media. The fake news image is from Saturday, before the large #HKprotest (1.7 million people) that took place on Sunday.

#China is a #roguestate in full and brazen contempt of #humanrights. This kidnapping clearly aims at having some sort of leverage against #GreatBritain reg. #HongKong. Sadly #BoJo and his coward band of #Brexit horrorclowns will NOT stand up to this kind of #blackmail from #Beijing. #FreeSimonCheng https://www.npr.org/2019/08/21/753015161/china-confirms-british-consulate-employee-held-on-administrative-detention

That is #China's #ForeignMinistry spokesmen Geng Shuang, for the record. Both #GreatBritain AND #HongKong need to protest against the kidnapping of #SimonCheng. #FreeSimonCheng

And we request #China to honour its obligations and promises made under the #1997agreement with #GreatBritain and the #1country2systems framework for #HongKong.
In a more frank language: Yo, #Zhongnanhai, keep your hands off #HongKong until 2047. Until then, #GreatBritain has the right to safeguard the 1997 agreement. Internal affairs my ass! #StandByHongKong
