美國共和黨參議員斯科特於當地時間周日接受 BBC 訪問時指，美國有證據證實中國正嘗試減慢或破壞西方國家研發武漢肺炎病毒疫苗，更指無論是美國或是英國先研發出疫苗，都會互相分享，但中國卻不打算分享疫苗，批評中共打算與美國甚至世界各地的民主自由為敵。

/ 運動爆發至今拘捕人數近萬，檢控卻不足兩成，當中還有不少連實質證據也欠奉，甚至要撤控，明顯是濫捕策略。對此律政司的對策，不是如實放棄檢控，而是增撥人手處理示威案件，證據不足也要夾硬告上法庭，務求「鋤死」所有人... //

HSBC warns it could face reprisals in China if UK bans Huawei equipment: Telegraph
(Reuters) - HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.L) Chairman Mark Tucker has warned Britain against a ban on networking equipment made by Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, claiming the bank could face reprisals in China, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.
Tucker made the claim in private representations to British Prime Minster Boris Johnson's advisers, the newspaper reported here citing industry and political sources.
Britain designated Huawei a “high-risk vendor” in January, capping its 5G involvement at 35% and excluding it from the data-heavy core of the network. It is looking at the possibility of phasing Huawei out of its 5G network completely by 2023, according to officials.

#反送中一週年 [The first anniversary of anti-extradition bill movement]
Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of our anti-extradition bill movement since June. Over the past year, Hongkongers and the world have been bearing witness to the deteriorating situation in Hong Kong, with Beijing tightening its grip over the city’s liberties. Step by step, Beijing is putting this global business centre under its direct control, from suppressing dissents’ voices with excessive police forces, scrapping the One Country Two Countries framework to guarantee supervisory power to China’s Liaison Office, to proposing a CCP-led secret police intelligence agency under the ill-defined national security law. Similar to how it treats dissidents in Mainland China, Beijing is staging the biggest crackdown in the city after the Tiananmen Square Massacre, in a silent but violent manner.
Without legislative scrutiny and public consultation, Beijing is now unilaterally imposing its authoritarian regime on Hong Kong against the will of the people. Even for pro-Beijing side, about 30% of the pro-government supporters oppose a law without legislative scrutiny, according to a recent poll. For any institutional factors that contribute to the success of this international city, from free flow of information, press freedom, freedoms of speech, and human rights protection, China reads them in its tyrannical mindset and views them as a threat to its autocratic control.
The law may raise the costs in the future protests, but Hongkongers will not step down, just like those who fight for freedoms and political reforms under authoritarian rules and places before democratization. The atrocity ahead only makes our democratic crusades inevitable.
Since the freedoms and human rights of our generations are not values that we can compromise, Hongkongers have no way back. Just like the recent Tiananmen candlelight vigil, law and barricades will not put an end to the city’s spirit of resistance. I have strong confidence in Hongkongers that we will have ways to resist and defy. Moreover, I hope the world can stand with Hong Kong and protect the city from falling.

【跟蹤、偷拍、踩線，然後呢？】
《港版國安法》立法在即，早有傳言國安機構，或不明來歷人士進行跟縱的狀況，將會越來越嚴重，也有說法指出投入國際戰線的朋友，必被政權鎖定於跟蹤名單。惡法宣佈不過三週，疑似踩線滋擾的狀況，終臨到我與香港眾志 Demosistō友好的頭上。
坦白說，若單純是政府支持者的個別行為，根本不值一提，即使是左派傳媒偷拍，頂多是頭條招呼，行蹤被暴露已是見怪不怪，上週和觀塘願景 - 梁凱晴 Jannelle R. Leung擺街站也被大公偷拍了；問題在於，這些其貌不揚中年大叔所拍攝後的相片影片，居然不是給予文匯揭秘，而是不排除與強力部門有關，情況反倒更為可怕。
中年鄉音口罩男在工廈區聯同團伙偷拍行蹤，還有多於一輪私家車在該區隨時照應，守候五小時至深夜，我最擔心的是，他們前晚可以駕駛私家車嘗試接走同伴，下次同樣有四、五個人的話，都可以拐一個人上車。今次跟蹤，下次踩線，再下次會否是被失蹤，重施故技讓銅鑼灣書店事件重演，誰也說不準。
如有人認為事件不涉強力部門，只屬我杞人憂天的過份猜測，我想《立場新聞》找到跟蹤車輛所註冊公司的董事地址，而該董事在記者上門查詢時「看來已知事件」，並否認和事件有關，更指「唔係睇佢既......果啲嘢（政治人物）唔跟，唔做政治……（有同事）在現場另有工作……他們是跟其他老闆，唔跟政治」，已證明情況絕不尋常。
個人而言，未來固然會提高警覺、多留意周邊可疑人士、避免獨自外出及乘搭公共交通工具，也會定時報告行蹤，以及慎選開會地點。不過，重點仍是在白色恐怖不斷蔓延時，自己心態與意志切勿被其所嚇倒，繼續維持對政權日常的反抗，便是對寒蟬效應最強而有力的回應。
共勉之。
