Five months of police daily use of tear gas across town has literally turned Hong Kong into a toxic gas chamber. Even the govt isn’t clear abt the toxins of tear gas (how ridiculous!). Deeply worrying.

Hong Kong director Johnnie To at @berlinale : cinema has always been at the forefront (of culture); when an authoritarian regime takes over, cinema becomes their prime target. Those who fight for freedom should stand with cinema, as cinema speaks up for them.

1m ppl protested peacefully, no response fr govt. 2m ppl protested peacefully, no response. Months on, those in power only make one-sided condemnation on protesters n young ppl, refusing to admit their wrongdoings n listen to ppl. Now my alma mater is a war zone #HongKong

People are no longer allowed to protest peacefully in Hong Kong. Almost all protest applications are banned. For the rare “no objection” ones, Police start shooting tear gas even b4 begins. When will ppl understand institutional violence as the main culprit for all this mess?

The last time Hong Kong saw 1 million protesting was 1989, against June 4 Tiananmen Sq crackdown (left pic). Today’s 1m protest (right) shows Hong Kong’s greatest fear is back. #NoExtraditiontoChina

This week in Singapore and Taipei, I’m often asked by those in the art world if things will be ok by the time Art Basel returns to Hong Kong in March.👇🏼certainly doesn’t look good. What scares ppl away are not the protests but the image of a police state.

Am in the area for an event at Tai Kwun, but came across riot police, water cannon and teargas in Central, where an approved rally is cut short. #HongKong
