    Incredible footage from #China’s #Shanghai, where countless people gathered at a road called “#Urumqi road,” chanting a slogan “Step down, the Communist Party” very loudly.
    上海乌鲁木齐路 民众高喊 共产党 下台! 这是迄今为止最为激进的口号。

    A wild story: A painter from #Taiwan found out his works were printed on stationaries sold on Taobao. So what did he do? Instead of fighting with the Chinese manufacturer, he reported himself as pro Taiwan independence, and the products were immediately taken off Taobao.
    笑死我了... 有位台湾画师发现自己的作品被中国厂商做成文具在淘宝卖,不想跟卖家吵,于是自己跑去检举自己是台独,果然就秒下架了... 原po -> plurk.com/p/mx087v

    半夜在台北看了上海的示威影片,就從此徹夜難眠。那吶喊的力道跟背後所要承受的風險,是我們不在現場的人難以想像的。

    Sources in #Shanghai are now telling me that police are now stopping people and checking their phones to see if there are any apps like Telegram, Instagram, and Twitter that have been used a lot to share updates of the protests with the outside world. #China

    Moving scenes that would just make you tear up so easily. 20 couples, all brave and happy. Many have been together for more than a decade. One told me “I used to hide the rainbow flag after pride parade, but now I gotta find a place to show it with pride.”

    Video reportedly showing hundreds of police in China stormed a local mosque in Yunan province, forcefully dragging Hui Muslim worshippers out and occupied the mosque. According to information, the operation was launched to demolish three mosques in Dali, Yunan.

    A protester currently in #Shanghai told me why he returned to the protest site for the second day: "Yesterday's protest has ignited the torch and today more torches will be light up. The world will become brighter. The entire #China is lighting up torches today."
