George Martin Fell Brown, Socialist Alternative (ISA US)<\/p>\n

Since the mass struggles in Hong Kong in 2019 the dictatorship of Xi Jinping has responded with unprecedented repression. This is aimed at destroying the movement and preventing future mass struggles in Hong Kong and China. In light of these attacks, International Socialist Alternative (ISA) is launching the campaign Solidarity Against Repression in China and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

In June 2020 Xi Jinping imposed a national security law in Hong Kong with draconian penalties. Charges of \u201csubversion\u201d and \u201cseparatism\u201d can be punished by life imprisonment or even extradition to the mainland where the death penalty still applies for such offenses. Xi\u2019s regime is simultaneously presiding over the most severe crackdown in China since the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.<\/p>\n

A crucial part of this solidarity work is to highlight the case of Hong Kong\u2019s imprisoned former legislator \u201cLong Hair\u201d Leung Kwok-hung. Along with forty other candidates for the city\u2019s now disbanded Legislative Council (LegCo) he is being held in prison charged with subversion under the dictatorship\u2019s national security law.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong Hair\u201d is the only representative of the left among the most prominent leaders of the democracy movement. He has actively supported workers\u2019 causes in China, Hong Kong, and internationally. He has also supported women\u2019s, LGBTQ, and refugee rights, and opposed U.S. imperialism.<\/p>\n

On the mainland, the campaign has taken up the cause of feminists, such as Xiao Meili and Zheng Churan, who have been hounded by pro-CCP internet trolls<\/a>. While the CCP regime has allowed the right-wing, misogynist harassment campaign to go unchallenged, the feminists have had their Weibo (China\u2019s equivalent of Twitter) accounts suspended. This case highlights both the growing radicalization in Chinese society and the Xi regime\u2019s moves to widen its crackdown on all potential opposition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the coming months Solidarity Against Repression in China and Hong Kong plans to coordinate a series of online meetings around the world. They\u2019re in the process of producing a pack with leaflets, model trade union resolutions, and other campaign tools to build for solidarity actions.<\/p>\n

The campaign seeks to build awareness of what\u2019s really happening in Hong Kong. This is based on our interaction with workers, young socialists, and activists in China and Hong Kong. The campaign will fight for freedom for all political prisoners, but will draw attention to those who fight for workers\u2019 rights and link the democratic struggle to a fight against capitalism and imperialism.<\/p>\n

If you find any rallies in solidarity with democratic rights in Hong Kong and China, let us know. We will assist you in mobilizing you to be a part of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
