Mongolians are resisting cultural oppression, an increasingly common strategy to deal with minorities from the CCP. This is already faced by Tibetans and Uyghurs. Hong Kongers, as another 'troublesome' minority group, is likely to be the next target of cultural oppression.

Assembly in New York on Oct 1, Urging Countries to Establish Multilateral Alliance to Hold the CCP Accountable
Over 200 non-governmental organisations (NGO) jointly initiated a rally named "Resist China: A Global Day of Action" in more than 60 cities around the world on October 1, "celebrating" the China National day. Participants include Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hongkongers, Taiwanese, Southern-Mongolians, and even Chinese. Dorjee Tseten, the General Director of Student for a Free Tibet, one of the organisations initiating the event, said that people around the world should stand together to fight against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The purpose of the event was to urge the European Union (EU) and other governments establishing a multilateral alliance, to hold the CCP accountable with tougher policies. "Xi-Jinping's policies are speeding up the end of the regime. The fall of the CCP is near", he believed.
Dorjee said, "Western democratic countries made China becoming a beast it is today. We have to clear about this, that CCP is a threat to global security.” He pointed out that in the past, western countries only focused on benefit, neglecting all China inhumane tyranny in Xinjiang and Tibet. "Have they (western countries) awaken yet? Yes, they have. But do we satisfy? No, we do not. We need stronger action."
He thinks governments from all over the world should implement policies for the accountability of "business which make benefits from people who suffer”, and organisations in civil societies should reveal these issues to their governments as well as the people. He gave an example that Apple Inc. had been blocking virtual private network (VPN) functions for the Chinese government and removing mobile application used by Hong Kong protesters from its shelves, before it launched its first human rights policy in September after prolonged lobbying by civil society groups. He argued that consumers should also raise their awareness, "when everyone buy Chinese products with a low-price in the western countries, they have to know where these products come from, often from oppressive regimes such as in Tibet.

Mass Protest in Washington, US Representative Calls for Punishment for CCP as Transnational Organized Crime Group
More than 10 pro-democracy groups assembled in front of the US Capitol on 1 October in protest of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) tyrannical rule. A number of members of the US Congress attended the demonstration in support of the cause. A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives demanding that the CCP be designated as a transnational organized crime group, prosecuted, and punished.
Over 10 organizations from Washington and New York gathered in front of the US Capitol in protest of the CCP’s persecution of the Uyghurs and the Tibetans, erosion of freedom in Hong Kong, suppression of dissidents, and bullying and intimidating Taiwan by military means. Hundreds attended the demonstration, including a number of Hongkongers, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and pro-democracy Chinese activists.
Speaking at the demonstration, Democratic representative Tom Suozzi thanked the participants for exposing what the CCP had done. “No new movies, fancy pamphlets, sanitized history, or trade deals will make these [acts by the CCP] palatable. We must be aware of the threat the CCP poses to all those around the world who love freedom as well as to Chinese citizens,” said Suozzi.
Republican representative Scott Perry said he would hold the CCP responsible for what they had done. He introduced a bill at the Congress the same day, asking that the CCP be designated as a transnational organized crime (TOC) group, and prosecuted and punished as such. “The CCP is detaining people against their will, altering cultures, damaging or eradicating languages, coercively harvesting organs, building concentration camps, and so on and so forth. And yet, they are getting away with these by virtue of being the legitimate ruler of China when in fact it is a criminal group subjecting China to oppressive rule. We need to define them as such and hand out fitting punishment to them,” he said.

#US Human Rights Group Urges US State Secretary to Pressure China on HK Issue
On March 18, 2021, the US Secretary of State #AntonyBlinken met with Chinese Politburo Member Yang Jiechi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the first high-level meeting since President #Biden took office in January 2021.
A day before the high-level meeting, Francis Hui Wing-ting, founder of We The Hongkongers, a group of Hongkongers in the US, spoke to the media outside the White House alongside Tibetans and Uighurs.
Hui urged US representatives to put pressure on China's Human Rights issues in the meeting.
Hui talked about recent political oppressions in Hong Kong in the press conference, “all my friends in Hong Kong are either in prison or in exile.” She mentioned that the press conference would become evidence of her collusion with foreign powers under the National Security Law in Hong Kong.
Hui pointed out that the US decision to further sanction 24 Chinese and Hong Kong officials in the wake of the high-level meeting shows the US stance on Chinese affairs. She hoped Blinken to put further pressure on Chinese officials and to bring issues of Hong Kong, East Turkistan, Tibet and Taiwan onto the table in the meeting.

Broadcasters urged to cancel plans to cover #Beijing #WinterOlympics
//Some of the world’s largest broadcasters including American network #NBC are being asked by human rights groups to cancel plans to cover next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Winter Games are scheduled to open on Feb. 4, 2022.
The request comes in an open letter from rights groups representing minorities in China, including #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, #HongKong residents and others.
The letter, obtained by the Associated Press, was sent Tuesday to NBC Universal chief executive officer Jeff Shell and other international broadcast executives. NBC is paying $7.75 billion for the rights to the next six Olympics and works closely as a partner with the Switzerland-based International Olympic Committee.
Those payments are estimated to account for up to 40% of the IOC’s total income. The letter says the broadcasters risk “being complicit” in the “worsening human rights abuses” in China.
The letter comes just days after the delayed Summer Olympics and Paralympics wrapped up in Tokyo, putting the focus on the IOC and its choice of Beijing.//

Canadian and Taiwanese Artists Uses Music and Drawings to Show their Support on Human Rights
#BeijingWinterOlympics has begun since #Feb04 with boycotts voices circulating the world.
Some artists show their dissatisfaction with #HumanRightsViolation in China with paintbrushes and music notes. A Canadian painter creates "Genocide Games" to mock Beijing Winter Olympic while a Taiwanese band composes "The Times Looking After the Righteous (#時代看顧正義的人)" to criticise dictatorship.
Both works show support to the belief in democracy and freedom.
The Canadian artist, Ricker Choi, is originally from Hong Kong but emigrated to Canada when he was 13. Yet, he is always concerning the situation in Hong Kong. Ricker has created lots of artworks since 2019, supporting Hong Kong democracy movements.
When the winter Olympics was approaching, his heart was filled with emotions. As a result, he picked up his pen and produced a picture "#GenocideGames".
Ricker said, "China claimed to improve the human rights issues in 2008 #OlympicGames, to be free, democratic and open. In fact, the reality is, however, the opposite. They suppress #Uyghurs and #Tibetans, persecuting Hong Kong, threatening Taiwan. Letting them host the Olympic Games again is the greatest sarcasm."

#Hongkongers, #Tibetans and #EastTurkestans Join Assembly Outside of ChineseEmbassy in #London
On June 4, 2022, more than 200 people gather outside the Chinese Embassy in London for a candlelight vigil in remembrance of the victims of the #TiananmenMassacre back in 1989.
#IsaacCheng Ka-Long, the former Vice-Chairperson of #Demosisto, and #YauManChun, a former Shatin District Councillor, were the moderated the event. Speakers representing the #UK, #HongKong, #Tibet and #EastTurkestan took turn to speak. The pre-recorded speech of #ZhangXianLing, one of the "#TiananmenMothers", were played after a minute of silence was observed.
Zhang Xianling's son was massacred at Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4 1989. Her son was 19 years old when killed. Zhang sent blessing to Hongkongers. Despite the suppression of demonstration and commemorative events in Hong Kong, Zhang encouraged the people of Hong Kong not to give up.
#BenedictRoger, the founder of #HongKongWatch, brought a yellow umbrella to the event, saying the umbrella were only used in rainy weather but it also symbolised the sovereignty and the power of the people who suffer suppression. He hopes people would see the UK as a shelter.
#LeeWingTat, a former legislator from Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp, also gave a speech, urging people not to give up. Under the National Security Law (#NSL) and other regulations, he foresaw the arrival of more and more Hong Kong immigrants to the UK. He encouraged those who arrived early to help others to settle and hoped to spread the situation in Hong Kong to the world.
#TserinPassang, a British-born Tibetan talked about how his parents went in exiled due to the high-pressure suppression in Tibel such as re-education camps and forced labour. He said that over hundred Tibetans conducted self-immolation to express their discontent, but the suppression by Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) regime does not cease. He expressed his will to go to his homeland hopefully in a not so distant future.
After that, a representative from East Turkestan spoke on the genocid and the need to raise people's awareness on all humanitarian crises.
Although it is no longer possible to continue the tradition of holding an annual candlelight vigil at Hong Kong's #VictoriaPark, the commemorarive event is carried out overseas and is joined by not just Hongkongers.
The assembly in London ended with three songs: "The Flower of Freedom" (自由花), "The Internationale", and "Glory to Hong Kong". The participants chanted pro-democracy slogans to voice their demands outside the Chinese Embassy.
