Proposal Passed in District Council to Stop Inviting PRC Officials From Hong Kong Liaison Office to Funding Activities

The Central and Western District Council in Hong Kong have passed a proposal to stop inviting PRC officials from Hong Kong Liaison Office to funding activities. The proposal was raised by Kam Nai-wai, a founding member of the Democratic Party and also a District Councilor. The discussion took place during the second finance committee meeting on March 12, 2020.

Pro-democracy district councilors questioned that the participation of PRC representatives in local activities could be an act to infiltrate the community. They mentioned that organization should not used regional funding activities to show their political loyalty.

District Officer representing the Hong Kong SAR Government Susanne Wong has repeatedly refuted the district memberā€™s opinions on this issue, arguing that they should not be restricting guest invitation. The officer claimed another discussion with the Home Affairs Department is necessary and said that ā€œguest invitation should not be in the scope of discussion within the district council meetingā€.

She further stated that ā€œ(she) cannot see how the Hong Kong Liaison Office is intervening with the autonomy of Hong Kongā€.

Canadian Public Schools Refuse to Cut Ties as Media Exposes Funding for Computers from Confucius Institute

The Confucius Institute in Canada has been revealed to have provided local public schools with undisclosed funding for laptops and other resources. Upon enquiry, a number of higher institutions and school districts in Canada said they were not intending to make any change to their partnership with the institute for the time being. They stressed that the instituteā€™s activities were limited to promoting traditional Chinese culture and language education and that they had not received any benefits from the institute.

According to a report by Canadaā€™s Global and Mail, a number of primary and secondary schools in the Coquitlam School District in Vancouver were offered funding by the Confucius Institute for such resources as laptops on the condition that they provide Mandarin courses. The institute would have to submit evaluations of its reception in the local community to its headquarters in China. The report raised questions as to whether this is still an academic activity.

How CCP Infiltrate Media? Former Editor-in-Chief of a Canadian Newspaper Explains in a Hearing

The Commons Special Committee on Canada-China Relations at House of Commons of Canada hosted a hearing. Victor Ho, the former editor-in-chief of a Chinese-language newspaper Sing Tao Daily B.C. edition, said that the Chinese government is using the identity of oversea Chinese to ā€œbrainwashesā€ Chinese Canadians, citing numerous examples of CCP constantly infiltrating the Canadian Chinese-language media.

The Ottawa news website "Blacklockā€™s Reporter" quoted Victor Ho, now living in Vancouver, saying that the Chinese consul general Tong Xiaoling gave a speech on July 23 this year at CHMB-AM (in Vancouver). She criticised some Hongkong people for deliberately slandering and undermining the Hong Kong National Security Law. She even accused Canadian activists for "trying to intimidate people who truly care about Hong Kong."

Victor Ho also noted that Thomas Leung, a Canadian radio commentator, showed his support of violent suppression and cracking down on Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrators in a CJVB-AM program last year. He urged the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to investigate such cases, safeguarding Chinese communities from being infiltrated by political directive and protecting the national interests of Canada.

China-born, Pro-Beijing financiers launch new Bauhinia Party in Hong Kong in a bid to "reform" the Opposition-less Legislature

After the disqualification and the mass resignation of the democrats in Hong Kong, the pro-Beijing Camp is expected to further monopolize the Legislative Council's chairs.

Li Shan, a China-born member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the director of the Credit Suisse Group, together with the chairman of China Broadcasting Holdings, Huang Qiuzhi, and the others, launched a new political party "Bauhinia Party" in Hong Kong in May 2020.

The party plans to recruit 250,000 party members with the goal of supporting "one country, two systems" and "a high degree of autonomy", and improving the relationship between Beijing and the SAR government.

The founder Li Shan showed strong support to the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, and even demanded another transitional system to prosecute and review cases involving breaches of #NationalSecurityLaw, and to complete the legislation of #Article23 of the Basic Law in the future.

He claimed that the newly established political party is a "determined defender" of the principle of "one country, two systems".

British media raises concerns about the China Communist Party (CCP) placing their members in foreign countries.

Some of them even work in the British consulates, raising suspicions of espionage. The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) issued a short statement, describe the findings as disturbing. Some Australian parliament members have called on the government to find out whether CCP spies are infiltrating the Australian system.

The Mail on Sunday reported that information on 1.95 million suspected CCP members, including their names, date of births, addresses and phone numbers, was circulated on Telegram. In September, a Chinese dissident forwarded this information to IPAC, which composed of cross-parties European and American parliamentarians. The Mail on Sunday recently analysed the data, finding that HSBC and Standard Chartered together employed more than 600 CCP members in the UK in 2016. It also reported that these two banks have long been criticised for their stance on dissidents issues in Hong Kong. Moreover, CCP members are also found to be employed in the defence industry including Boeing, Airbus, and Rolls-Royce. As for the pharmaceutical industry, Pfizer and AstraZeneca alone have already employed 123 CCP members.

The Mail on Sunday also discovered that many CCP members are working in foreign diplomatic organisations in China via a company called "The Shanghai Foreign Agency Service Corporation", which has a Chinese official background, and at least 249 CCP members were registered with the agency in 2016. The CCP also infiltrated into academics, that according to the British policy, overseas students not from the EU or the Five Eyes network are required to have an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate to enter. But it was found that some of the CCP members have been senior researchers in the UK top universities, participating in sensitive subject such as aerospace engineering.
