Happy 181st Anniversary of Founding of Hong Kong, the real birth

Happy 181st Anniversary of Founding of Hong Kong, the real birthday of Hong Kong, 26th of January. 谨贺香港开埠一百八十一周年、一月廿六号、香港真正生日。 9 years ago we started our first celebration for Hong Kong Day, and we make it our annually tradition. Over the past 9 years. we never stop on constructing a #desinocentrism perspective on Hongkong Studies. We believe Hongkongese people should and could take back the rights of interpretation on our own history and culture, and there would be the day we all shall see. 自九年前初次举办开埠庆典、随即成为每年传统、直至今日、我哋仍然坚持同一信念 为香港建构 #香港本位 香港文史研究。重夺自己嘅文史诠释权、由你、我、同各位香港人做起。坚持香港本位、拒绝中华史观。 Post by IG @museumofhk126 #happyhkday #hkday #FoundingDay #香港开埠日 #香港日 #开埠 #香港史

When Hong Kong’s government tries to silence a song, the world should listen If the court agrees, the companies should reply with «no.» Meta, Google and their peers admittedly find themselves in a tortured position. In Hong Kong, this dispute is itself more evidence that the city is approaching a tipping point that the «one country, two systems» model affording Hong Kong its autonomy from mainland China is atrophying. Two of the remaining bulwarks against autocracy in the nation were judicial independence (which China has disavowed) and a free internet (in contrast to China’s Great Firewall); a victory for the government in this case would mean the diminishment of both. This, in turn, would be a signal to companies who prefer to do business without betraying their values that the city is no longer a friendly hub for foreign investment. #愿荣光归香港 #禁制令 #GloryToHongKong #香港国歌
