Hongkongers Call On International Open Societies to Stop China from Eroding Values of the Free World
19:13 | #IFC, Central
In today's "Sing With You" event, gathering citizens emphasized their opposition to Beijing's unilateral imposition of the National Security Law.
After Hongkongers returned to the street to protest on 24 May, China and the Hong Kong goverment still insisted on the enforcement of the draconian measures which are not only breaching the Sino British Joint Declaration, but also expected to destroy the remaining rights and freedom in the city.
The activity was originally planned to take place in Pacific Place, Admiralty. After the change of venue, the crowd continues to gather.

World Bank was accused of funding Xinjiang suppression movement
According to #SCMP, a report from #AtlanticCouncil, an American think tank, points out that the clients of International Finance Company (#IFC) which is under #WorldBank, are active participants of #Xinjiang suppression with significant evidence.
China was accused of Xinjiang forcing labour, forcing them to leave their land, eradicating their culture, damaging their environment in this movement.
The researchers call the World Bank to leave the Xinjiang region, claiming that the nearly $500 direct loans and the investment to the Xinjiang companies violate the World Bank's "development finance" criteria.
A #Belgian MP said, "the World Bank is not to fund modern slavery but to support the world development. There is no excuse. We have to force the companies which relate to abusive forcing labour to leave the market."
SCMP reports that the Belgian was sanctioned by China due to launching a debate on the Xinjiang #AllegedGenocide in the Belgian parliament.
