There are now over 100 Financial Times journalists from across the newspaper on this Bluesky starter pack. It would be rude not to follow them all, imo!

全國人大常委會法工委副主任張勇：「港人治港」不完全是指香港只能由港人治理 - 光傳媒 Photon Media
基本法委員會副主任、全國人大常委會法工委副主任張勇昨（24日）出席講座，指根據《憲法》，一國兩制中的「港人治港」，不完全是指香港只能由港人來管治，全國人大作為國家的主權者，可行使任何它認為應當由其行使的權利，指出「中央也要治港，不治港這個基本法哪裏來？」

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.
I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.
