("香港众志秘书长黄之锋到访德国的第三日 * * * 黄之锋在周三（11日）的行程 * * * 黄之锋晚上在德国柏林汉堡大学发表公开演讲，超过300人到场。 * * * 五年前有20万港人上街争取真普选，和五年前相比，现今港人对抗的不再是「习主席」而是「习皇帝」，但港人面对暴力和牢狱威胁没有被「习皇帝」吓倒，有四分一的人口上街。 * * * 他强调这一场没有领袖的运动，他不是领袖，是和其他人一样的参与者")

(2) two tweets (the earlier one is first):
(a) "Marco Rubio [Verified account]
@marcorubio

Just spoke to @realDonaldTrump on #Venezuela

It's true he disagreed with some of the views of previous [national security] advisor

But as he reminded me it’s actually the DIRECT OPPOSITE of what many claim or assume

If in fact the direction of policy changes it won’t be to make it weaker

5:39 AM - 12 Sep 2019"

(b) "Donald J Trump  
@realDonaldTrump
[Donald J. Trump Retweeted Marco Rubio]

In fact, my views on Venezuela, and especially Cuba, were far stronger than those of John Bolton. He was holding me back!
