Phone Call between Chinese and Russian Foreign Ministers: Wang Yi Accuses US of Using Pandemic to Smear Other Countries, “US Has Lost Its Sense of Reason, Morality and Credibility”
China’s official press agency, Xinhua News Agency, reported that Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had talked with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov over the phone on 17 July, 2020.
Wang emphasised that the US had used every means to shift its responsibilities and smear other countries by way of the pandemic. He said the US had gone on such lengths as creating hot spots and confrontations in international relations, and had lost its sense of reason, morality and credibility. Wang bluntly expressed that the US had pushed egoism, unilateralism and bullying to the limit, “not what a great power should be about”.
Wang also said that the US had returned to its notorious “McCarthyism” and an outdated “Cold War mentality” in its policy approach to China, deliberately provoking ideological oppositions and breaching fundamental principles of international laws and relations. He asserted that China would firmly defend its legitimate interests and dignity.
According to China state media Xinhua’s report, Lavrov remarked that the US had long venerated the American exceptionalism and egotism. He said lately it had even torn away its façade and made no attempts to disguise, casually making threats and waving about its baton of sanctions. Lavrov said that Russia opposes unilateralism in international affairs.
Wang further stated that as major responsible countries, China and Russia reject “any actions destructive to international order and against historical trend”. Together, they will jointly safeguard world peace and stability as well as maintain international justice.

Carrie Lam Accuses Hong Kong Medical Experts With a Different Opinion on Universal Coronavirus Testing of "Harbouring Political Motivation" and "Smearing the Chinese Government"
Chief Executive Carrie Lam slammed medical experts and doctors in Hong Kong for "harbouring political motivation" by criticising the government's universal coronavirus testing scheme. Lam also accused the experts who did not support the scheme of "smearing the Chinese Government".
The chairperson of the Public Doctors’ Association Arisina Ma pointed out on a radio program that medical experts were only discussing the effectiveness of the scheme.
Dr. Wong Yam Hong, a specialist in cardiology working for a public hospital in Hong Kong and also a member of the pro-democracy concern group Medical Inspire, wrote on Facebook that he did not know the "medical experts and doctors" Carrie Lam was referring to. Wong said he would not call himself an expert but at least he and his colleagues have all been professional trained and are all licensed doctors. He doubted the qualifications of the medical practitioners hired by the government from China.

The Hong Kong-America Centre Shuts Sown its Offices After Being Smeared by China-Controlled Media
Since the end of 2019, China-owned newspaper Ta Kung Pao and Global Times have been tirelessly reprimanding the Hong Kong-America Centre for being "lavishly backed with US fund" and “manipulating the University General Studies” via the Fulbright Program, one renowned academic exchange program led by the Center. The Center was also said to be “infiltrated” by “anti-China forces” and was acused of "brainwashing youngsters and subverting China".
Academia, however, pointed out that the Center has been driving academic exchange and coordination. The closure of the Center is a loss to both Hong Kong and China.
Apple Daily has looked into the accusations made by the CCP-controlled mouthpieces and found gaps:
- Ta Kung Pao’s accusation:
The Hong Kong-America Centre was funded by several heavy-weight organisations, including the Ford Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the East-West Centre. Among them, NDI allocated $524,000 to the Center from 2013 - 2018 under a “Young Female Leader Advocacy” program.
- Apple Daily’s findings:
Based on the Center’s Financial Statement, around 30-40% of the Center’s fund in the past 5 years came primarily from local universities averaging over hundreds of thousands a year. The remaining 60% came from the surplus of the Center’s operating projects, among which was connected to NDI. From 2014 – 2017, a total fund amounted $285,000 was received from NDI, after deducting expenses, a balance of $117,000 was recorded.
- Ta Kung Pao’s accusation:
The “Women’s Training Camp” organised for Mainland female leaders was funded and led by NDI.
The program invited former Commercial Radio Station Chief, Wong Wing to talk about leadership capabilities and PR tactics, which was actually intended to encourage candidates to learn from the Middle-East women to stand against their governments and subvert China.
- Apple Daily’s findings:
When being asked, Wong Wing clarified that he was invited to talk about the media landscape in Hong Kong and his work experience only.
- Ta Kung Pao’s accusation:
The Centre “routinely organizes anti-China brain-washing activities”, such as “Let’s Talk: Youth Summit on Hong Kong Elections” which was organised on the eve of the Umbrella Movement in 2014.
The program invited Anson Chan and Joseph Cheng as speakers and discussed “negotiating strategy for mass protest activities”, sowing seed for youngsters to aspire universal suffrage as the ultimate goal in a protest activity.
- Apple Daily’s findings:
Responding to the paper’s inquiries, both Joseph Cheng and Eric Heikkila, a Professor of International Public Policy at the University of Southern California, expressed that “I cannot recall a single incident or activity that I would in any way described as ‘anti-China’”.
- Ta Kung Pao’s accusation:
From 2006 – 2012, the US Consulate arranged 25 US academia to Hong Kong via the Fulbright Program.
The HK-America Center was the bridge connecting the academia to 8 universities in Hong Kong. They were involved in designing and teaching General Studies, in other words, "manipulating the curriculum" of the city’s higher education program.
- Apple Daily’s findings:
Wong Wai-Ho, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Public Administration said that the Center’s role was to facilitate academic exchange, involving in the coordination works between the US consulate and universities.
Editor’s note:
The Hong Kong-America Center was set up in early 2000 to advance educational exchanges between China and the United States over the bridge of Hong Kong.

Beijing calls Australians "Poor White Trash"
The Global Times, a news website heavily aligned with the Chinese Communist Party, has called Australians “poor white trash”, warning that there will be “consequences” if the Australians do not play nice with China.
In recent months, relations between Beijing and Canberra have become increasingly fractious due to actions taken by Australia which has been deemed as an act of scrutiny towards China, a provokation.
China has been retaliating as well. In addition to the numerous retaliations, just recently, an Australian journalist for China’s state run television was detained for reasons unclear.

Former Chief Executive Condemns HK's Secretary for Education for ignoring Xi’s opinion
The "803 HK" is a bounty website formed by CY Leung, former HK's Chief Executive and current chairman of CCPCC. Leunv applied for a judicial review at Hong Kong's,High Court on Oct 3, 2020, requesting the Court to order Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung to disclose the personal information of the teacher who was disqualified because of accusations of "professional misconduct" recently.
On Oct 4, Leung quoted from CCP secretary-general Xi Jinping “為官避事平生恥”, which means as a public servant one should not hide away from any challenge. Leung’s post implied that the Secretary for Education should follow Xi’s saying.
Leung also called the Hong Kong Professional Teachers' Union (#HKPTU) as a "union of bullies", claiming that “chaos will continue as long as HKPTU exists”.
In his post, Leung described the disqualified teacher and HKPTU as an "overbearing driver" and a "bully". The Education Bureau, on the other hand, was described as a "traffic warden" who hid away from the public’s demand to disclose the teacher’s personal information to avoid trouble. Then, Leung criticised the “traffic warden” for ignoring Xi’s famous quote, and shirking the responsibility to the judge.
Leung said the Bureau should “be strong” and not be afraid of the “bully” HKPTU.

Who is the puppet? — Did he leave out the famous Tank Man on Tiananmen Square in 1989 in his photo collection on purpose?
Former district councilor Dominic Lee Tsz-king, who is known for his pro-Beijing stance, called pro-democracy protesters actors on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/leetszking/posts/5135204823171645).
In a collage of photos with protest scenes in Hong Kong, Thailand and Ukraine showing in common a peaceful protester standing in front of armed police, begging them to retreat and not to injure the innocent civilians, Lee wrote “No such thing as old way so long as it works,” scorning protesters as nothing but “mere actors performing theatrical acts”.
Lee is a member of the pro-Beijing People's Party in Hong Kong, which is chaired by Beijing loyalist and former Secretary for Security Regina Ip.

CCP-owned newspaper People's Daily: Apple Daily is involved in anti-China and Hong Kong activities, openly requesting US sanctions "like a traitor"
Chairman of Next Digital Jimmy Lai Chee-ying was suddenly charged with "conspiring with foreign forces to endanger national security" under the draconian national security law on Saturday (December 12). The charge has mentioned the newly launched English version of Apple Daily. Beijing mouthpiece "People's Daily" today (December 13) published an editorial titled "Hong Kong has been suffering from 'Poisonous Media' for a long time", saying that Hong Kong has been flooded with fake news about the police force and the SAR government. The paper called Apple Daily "Poisonous Apple", and accused it for taking part in "the anti-China activities to disrupt Hong Kong, fabricating news in the name of press freedom", and denounced Apple Daily as "a true traitor openly calling on readers to request US sanctions on Hong Kong".
The article described Apple Daily as "a habitual offender addicted to lying and fabrication in Hong Kong media industry", and criticized it for "attacking and smearing all actions taken by the HKSAR government and police force, slandering all matters related to the Mainland." It also wrote that "Apple" started out as media publisher of sensational reports, mocking that it had once apologized publicly on the front page for a fake news incident.
