In a post on his facebook page 689 threatened the Foreign Correspondents’ Club with eviction from their clubhouse if they allowed Andy Chan Ho-tin’s talk about his views on Hong Kong’s future to go ahead.

It’s amazing how thin skinned and insecure Xi Jinping and his sycophants are.
CY Leung did nothing but demean and denigrate the people he was ‘elected’ to govern during his time as ‘Chief Executive’ of Hong Kong – while enriching himself and his Beijing buddies.
Xi and the CCP by their actions and policies directly created the idea of an independent Hong Kong. By ignoring the needs and desires of HongKongers they sowed the seeds and then actively fertilised dissent and dissatisfaction.
Why because it’s easy to rule and skim the cream from the pot by pitting HongKonger against HongKonger. Favouring and rewarding the sycophants, penalising those who don’t kiss the ring is designed to divide and distract while the oligarchy feasts on both.
If you think China is so wonderful, then why do so many mainland Chinese – including Xi and all his top CCP cronies – look to get their money out of China as quickly as possible!!
No other people in the world have so little faith in their own country when it comes to investing their own personal wealth.
Beijing and Xi want to destroy Hong Kong and it’s values including freedom of speech, an independent judiciary and an honest police force.
Yet it’s to Hong Kong that mainlanders flock to secure and safeguard their savings and future. You have to ask why they do this, if China – as supreme leader Xi loves to espouse – is such a wonderful country where all are equal and people’s rights are respected.
Xi and the CCP are so jealous of what we HongKongers have created without them that they need to destroy it because they fear it.
We do not agree with Andy Chan Ho-tin, but we respect that he has the right to express his views.
To quote the poem of anti–Nazi theologian and pastor Martin Niemöller
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
