I met w/ @SenateForeign ytd to exchange updates & details of the #HKETO Certification Act introduced by @marcorubio @SenJeffMerkley. Very excited to hear that it's been put up to next week's markup just now. I look forward to more progress on this in both chambers. HKETO must go. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/frances_hui/status/1669415210010984480#m

@thecfhk RT by @frances_hui: Today, @frances_hui delivered @thecfhk's joint letter with 30 organisations on supporting the #HKETO Certification Act which could pave the way to shut down HKETOs to @HouseForeign/@HouseForeignGOP. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/thecfhk/status/1661766563827941378#m

R to @hk_watch: In view of the reintroduction of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (#HKETO) Certification Act in both houses of Congress, this petition calls for the: • Annual Review of #HKETOs in the #USA, in San Francisco, New York City, and Washington DC. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1654464232203714561#m

I’m outside @smithsonian’s #RenwickGallery in Washington DC tonight with other Hongkongers protesting #HKETO’s #LunarNewYear event. HKETO is an extended branch of the PRC govt. that spies on our diaspora communities — we call on @SmithsonianSec to STOP working them. #NoToHKETO https://nitter.hongkongers.net/jooeysiiu/status/1619126505929601025#m

@MarkLClifford RT by @MarkSimonHK: Protesting #hketo sponsorship of #hongkong ballet performance tonight at #citycenter #newyorkcity. Thanks to everyone who joined the leafleting effort. Good response from patrons. We will be back tomorrow for the second and final performance. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/MarkLClifford/status/1614077930182787076#m

It's great to see that members on the hill are acknowledging the voice of the #HongKong diaspora community. @thecfhk team will continue to brief congressional members abt #HKETO's existence & its diplomatic immunity and to work w/ groups in shining a light on their activities. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/frances_hui/status/1603786709241569280#m

R to @AnnaKwokFY: Given its threat and increasing attempts to spread propaganda in past months, Hong Konger orgs & advocates worked together to highlight #HKETO's illegitimacy: https://nitter.hongkongers.net/AnnaKwokFY/status/1603445342133010444#m

R to @AnnaKwokFY: Currently, #HKETO has 3 physical offices in the US -- Washington D.C., New York City, & San Francisco. Multiple private events were hosted by the HKETO this year to promote a facade of freedom and stability in Hong Kong, whitewashing the grave human rights abuses in #HongKong. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/AnnaKwokFY/status/1603445339549319173#m

R to @AnnaKwokFY: Despite being an office orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party, #HKETO receives privileges under the IOIA (International Organizations Immunities Act). Essentially, it shares the same categorization with global institutions such as the UN and the IMF. (Yes, I am not kidding) https://nitter.hongkongers.net/AnnaKwokFY/status/1603445338253279247#m

The latest #HKETO Act by @marcorubio & Rep. Smith hits the bull's eye: HKETO should go. Since the complete dismantling of HK's promised 1C2S, HKETO is no longer an innocent trade office. It's CCP's springboard to exert totalitarian expansion & transnational repression globally. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/AnnaKwokFY/status/1603445336240013419#m

Sen. @marcorubio & Rep. Chris Smith introduced the #HongKong Economic and Trade Office Certification Act to reevaluate the US' recognition of the #HKETO. Big s/o to @thecfhk & the HK diaspora community for their tireless effort in this important campaign👏🏼 https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2022/12/rubio-smith-introduce-bill-to-remove-ccp-influenced-hong-kong-economic-and-trade-offices-from-u-s https://nitter.hongkongers.net/frances_hui/status/1603410933002670081#m
