A total of 19 Hongkonger groups around the world launched a “Global Joint Campaign” on July 1, urging 163 cities to sever “sister city” relationships with the Beijing regime.
“Hongkongers in Deutschland e.V.”(HKDEV), one of the organizations involved in the “Global Joint Campaign,” issued a petition, in which the group mentioned the atrocities perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong, and called upon the 58 cities in Germany to end their “sister city” relationships with the CCP.
