Leong called on the people of the world to view Hong Kong as an example and stand up to the CCP.

Leong said, “the CCP is exploiting the situation to do bad things on Hong Kong people, thinking that the world will be too busy and otherwise engaged with fighting the CCP virus that they can not spare the attention to keep an eye on Hong Kong.”

Leong said that the CCP wants to further infringe Hong Kong’s democracy and freedom in four ways:

1. Making National Security Laws (Hong Kong’s Basic Law Article 23) as soon as possible.

2. Use the accusation of “sedition” to arrest dissidents.

3. Cancelling or postponing the September Legislative Council elections.

4. Exploit the recent incident of RTHK (Radio Television Hong Kong) reporter Yvonne Tong’s question about Taiwan membership to WHO advisor Bruce Aylward to crack down on this public broadcaster.

Leong said, “Another thing is that they started arresting people for sedition, which is something that we lawyers see to be a crime that aims at silencing dissidents and the dissents.”

Hong Kongers have postponed the National Security Laws (Hong Kong’s Basic Law Article 23) for 18 years now. Pro-democracy advocates did very well in November’s District Council Elections and have defended their rights.

Leong said, “Everybody thought that probably the CCP and the Hong Kong administration would cancel that election, the District Council elections, but it turns out that the pro-democracy side won a landslide victory. We won 388 seats out of a total 420 and we are now controlling 17 out of 18 District Council’s.”

Leong said what is common between Hong Kong and Taiwan is that “we did not trust the WHO, we did not trust the CCP for the information that they provided,” so the epidemic was kept under control.

Leong said: “I think it is this mentality and not trusting the CCP or the WHO that put us in our present situation.”

Leong said, “Today’s Hong Kong will become a free democracy tomorrow, and therefore if you are thinking that you are just helping Hong Kong that is not quite accurate, because you are at the same time helping yourselves.”

Leong calls for international attention to Hong Kong as it is at the forefront of the battle between the CCP’s autocracy and the democratic values of the free world.

Leong: “If Hong Kong falls as a result of the world no longer paying enough attention to us during this time of the virus attack, it may produce similar results in other countries.”

Leong is a long-time proponent of Hong Kong democracy and rule of law. The former head of the Hong Kong Bar Association also served on the Hong Kong Legislative Council for 12 years. In 2014, he helped lead the Umbrella Movement and currently serves as Chairman of the pro-democracy Civic Party.
