Chinese student breached Australian epidemic defense
Proudly lied about coming from Hong Kong and got away


Editor’s Note: Various commentators in Hong Kong brought up a very important point on 3 Feb. The reason why Carrie Lam is keeping Shenzhen Bay, Hong Kong Airport, and HZMB (Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge) open is very likely because she wants to make it easy for the powers and riches from mainland China to fly to elsewhere through Hong Kong. If they fly to other places, they will put down Hong Kong as the port of departure. Shenzhen Bay is very close to the Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, and this port is also close to the Hong Kong International Airport. Therefore, aristocrats from mainland can take flights from different places to Shenzhen or Zhuhai, and through Shenzhen Bay or HZMB to the Hong Kong Airport, and then fly to anywhere in the world. These people may even hold Hong Kong or foreign passports, like Meng Wenzhou. Shenzhen Bay is usually used by the private cars with dual license plates (which general public are not able to get such license) from China and Hong Kong. That place is also close to the affluent neighbourhood of Nanshan, Shenzhen. Since a Chinese student in Australia lied about his port of departure and got away, other people are likely to follow suit, using Hong Kong as “white gloves,” that is, to hide their dirty hands using Hong Kong as a cover.


(3 Feb) One after another, many countries are imposing strict control over China as the novel coronavirus continues to wreak havoc around the world. Since 3 Feb, the Australian government began to ban visitors from mainland China from entering the country, except for Australian citizens and permanent residences. However, a Chinese student, in a bid to enter Australia, used fake information to evade the current immigration policy set by the Australian government and even told the media how he did it.

Sidney Today interviewed 3 Chinese students. One of those Chinese students K used fake information in order to enter the country. He said he made a transfer flight in Hong Kong on 1 February and arrived at Brisbane Airport at 11:45 PM. He learned about the travel ban in Australia after he landed. His classmates even teased him in text messages that he would be deported. Instead of getting deported, he changed the port of departure from China to Hong Kong. He proudly told the media that “Yes, the orange one! I crossed out China and changed it to Hong Kong.” As a result, he was allowed entry by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, who didn’t even bother to check his luggages thoroughly.

Confirmed WARS cases with her Wuhan parents, director of Chinese-funded Company said sorry via Wechat, admitted bringing troubles to Hong Kong when handling her infected parents

Editor’s Note: Knowing people from Wuhan would not be accepted into hotels, Deng, from mainland China graduated from Tsinghua University and had a master degree in Havard University, used her ID to arrange hotel for her parents instead, given that she knew there was an outbreak of WARS in Wuhan and her parents were showing symptoms of WARS. Later she also refused to disclose where they had been wandering around. Even apology to the public is not enough to compensate for all social disturbance, panic and even wide spread of WARS caused by them, she only “feel sorry”to the general public and said they did cooperate. Indeed a good example of what world class selfishness is like.

(1 Feb) There have been 13 confirmed cases of WARS in Hong Kong so far. One of the confirmed cases was Deng Xi, the managing director of the investment department of Haitong Securities, a Hong Kong based Chinese-funded financial company. Deng Xi might be infected by parents who came from Wuhan and have been the first local transmission case in Hong Kong. Allegedly, Deng Xi has first brought her parents to the W Hotel and then went to both the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Four Seasons Hotel. She was criticized due to her refusal to disclose her parents’ whereabouts. Deng Xi has posted on WeChat that she is sorry for causing so much trouble, public anxiety, and social disturbance. Deng Xi also mentioned that she had made wrong judgement in dealing with this incident and she hoped for forgiveness from everyone.

Baibuting Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Group (194)

Xinwen: Everyone please just don't go out. Now in the Gaoxiong Rd. neighbourhood five cases are confirmed. A man was hospitalized but his son didn’t got the chance. The son spits around as a revenge for the society. My wife and her colleagues witnessed it when they were on duty. Please don't go out. DON'T. 🙏🙏

Floating on a plank: (sticker, captioned 'Yes yes')

Xinwen: And don't open the door to strangers. Just now someone sent me a message saying 7-8 revengeful people were caught. They randomly knocked at the doors and spat to the face when someone opened it, trying to ruin others.

Min: I haven’t left home since 22 Jan.

Severe Shortage of Masks in Hong Kong; Mainland Chinese Bidding Masks at All Costs

Editor's Note: During this tough period, many purchasing agents told the media that Mainland Chinese had paid South-east Asia manufacturers much higher prices to buy as many masks as possible, and later they could resell at even higher prices in order to take advantage of the current situation; On the other hand, the HKSAR government sent out purchasing contracts with harsh terms, including "the lowest bid wins", to various suppliers when there is a global shortage of masks. Can you believe such an impractical way could buy any mask for desperate Hongkongers?

Even as the supply of surgical masks grows scarcer by the day, the Hong Kong government has turned a blind eye to citizens' urgent needs for face masks. So, many heartful purchasing agents decided to put aside profit-making and prioritize citizen’s need upon this desperate time. They utilized their business networks to contact manufacturers and wholesalers to search for a consistent supply of surgical masks for Hong Kong citizens.

A Hong Kong purchasing agent had ordered surgical masks from a Korean manufacturer and quickly paid the sum in full in order to secure the stock. However, when the shipment had arrived at Incheon port and was getting ready to be delivered to Hong Kong, a mob of mainland Chinese attempted to redirect the shipment to Mainland China by claiming ownership over it. Fortunately, the Hong Kong agent was cautious enough and was at the scene and was able to stop it.

In these desperate times, we, Hongkongers, should unite as one. Please support those agents investing their time and efforts for the sake of the people of Hong Kong; or if you have the time, comment on their Facebook pages to encourage them.

Hongkongers add oil, Fight On!

Hainan patient concealed facts and spat, leading to two medical staff being infected

(7 Feb) According to a report by Chinese news website Nanhai News, a man from the city of Dongfang, Hainan province went to two hospitals to consult doctors between 24 and 28 January after showing symptons of the novel coronavirus. At the hospitals, he deliberately concealed the fact that he had close contact with his elder sister and brother-in-law, both coming from Wuhan, Hubei province. While he was receiving saline solution, he repeatedly spat on the floor as well as argued with hospital staff. Subsequently, two medics from Dongfang People's Hospital wete tested positive for the virus.

The man, whose surname is Zhang, boarded a train on 29 January for Haikou City to do a check up at its People's Hospital, and he was diagnosed with the coronavirus. He has causrd a great number of medics and people who had close contact with him to be placed under quarantine. The area where he lives has adopted a "close-off management" measure. Zhang's behaviour was criticised as severely disturbing Dongfang City's infection control measure and causing a threat to public safety.

At present, Zhang is under investigation by the public security bureau in Dongfang City for jeopardising public safety. He has also been sent to a specific hospital for quarantine and treatment.

Woman in Wuhan allegedly spat at doors, infecting 30 with Coronavirus... 90 in fever

(9 Feb) There had been a sudden increase of diagnosed Coronavirus cases in one community at Wuhan, China. The confirmed cases have reached to more than 30, with more than 90 people in fever. Many patients are still quarantined at home. One resident with a surveillance camera discovered that a woman was spitting at the doors in the middle of the night. The resident was shocked with this discovery and reported it to the police.

As reported by Kankanews, there had been numerous fever cases among self-quarantined families. One resident checked the surveillance camera and found out a woman with suspicious behaviour on the 8th at 9:50pm.

According to the footage, that woman purposely walked in bent posture. After reaching the corner, she then took a sneak peek, made sure no one was there, then moved on to spit at door handles on the sides.

The resident was scared and immediately reported it to the security guards, who then reported to the police right after. The security guards and police wearing protective garments did an investigation in the community. Details are still to be revealed by the police.

Wuhanese brags about breaking through customs! Japanese cry foul and want him out!

(8 Feb) A netizen from Wuhan showed “how to get through Japanese customs.” The article immediately triggered artillery fire and was reposted to Twitter, setting off Japanese’s anger.

Netizen “vincecici” from Wuhan said he recently went to Tokyo, Japan to participate in an exhibition. The birthplace shown on his passport was Hubei, and the place of issue was Guangdong. After all kinds of uncertainty and concerns, he finally entered Japan through the Japanese customs. “So Don’t worry, the Japanese are very friendly towards China this time, and they only prohibit passports issued by Hubei from entry, whether they were born in Hubei or not doesn’t matter.

This Wuhan netizen also mentioned a separate line leading to the customs for visa holders from Hubei and for only those with visas issued in Hubei. Because his visa was issued in Guangdong, he didn’t need to go through it and just went to customs clearance. “A form will be given when you clear the customs. There are two questions on it, asking if you have been to Hubei within 14 days. Anyway, just answer no (い い え) then it will be fine.”

After it was exposed on how it was done, it was first bombarded by mainland Chinese netizens, and then the post was forwarded to Twitter to set off a strong backfire from the Japanese. Many voices asked the Japanese government to send the police to investigate this Wuhan netizen’s location.

Seeing that the wind was blowing the wrong direction, the Wuhan netizen deleted the tutorial first, and then clarified that “I am living in Shenzhen all year round. I am a Wuhanese with Shenzhen residency account. My passport is issued by Guangdong. My birthplace is Hubei. I haven’t been to Wuhan for almost 2 months, because my family settled in Shenzhen” and his body didn’t show any symptoms.

In addition, he also stated that he “legally entered the country.” If Japanese netizens want to report him to the Japan Police Department or the Immigration Bureau, it will be fine because he will pass the scrutiny. However, he also pointed out one thing he did wrong was that he said “No” when asked whether he had been to Hubei.

Distribution quotas exposed - Police given 640 thousand masks, and taking 40 times more N95 masks than Department of Health

(15 Feb) While there is only one-month’s stock of equipment for frontline medical staff, the HK government is still refusing to disclose how the supplies are being used. The Apple Daily received documents showing that the police ranks second in number of surgical masks distributed, coming after the Department of Health. In the first round, they were provided with over 640 thousand surgical masks, and they were given the most N95 masks among all departments. Legislator and former doctor Kwok Ka-ki criticises the government for distributing the disease control supplies unfairly, with medical staff who actually contact patients lacking medical N95 masks and protective clothing, while the police is given large amounts of high standard supplies. “It is a complete waste of resources and public funds, and it’s exhausting the already scarce supply of protective clothing,” he says.

Passengers Entering Hong Kong from China Say in Mandarin They Won't Follow Self-Quarantine Rule as They are "Not Sick"

The Hong Kong Government has been enforcing the 14-day self-quarantine measure since Feb 8. Many people from China rushed through Shenzhen Bay port to enter Hong Kong on Feb 7 before the "deadline". The Shenzhen Bay Port was crowded.

When entering Hong Kong, people speaking only Mandarin said that as they were "not sick", self-segregation would not be unnecessary and they would not follow such rule.

Ms. Zeng, who came from Jiangmen, Guangdong in China, said, “I drove over alone today, as the public transportation in China has stopped.” Ms. Zeng wanted to stay in China for a few more days, but as she learned that Hong Kong is preparing to implement new anti-epidemic measures, she immediately went to Hong Kong with her two sons. She visits China on every public holiday and she criticized the government’s new proposals. "Isn’t China advocating 14-day quarantine at home? I didn’t go there. China is well sealed! You see, there are many human contacts".

When asked about the customs clearance dispute, she thinks it was enough to block people from Hubei. And as she was from Guangdong, there is no need for her to be quarantined. She even pointed out that it was unnecessary to quarantine for 14 days and for home quarantine persons to wear electronic tracking bracelets. Data show that Guangdong has the second most diagnosed cases after Hubei Province in China.

Infected Chinese couple took paracetamol and returned to China. 7 people on the plane had fever and all 200 people quarantined

(30 Mar) The novel coronavirus has become a worldwide pandemic. Just as China is reporting a cool down on the pandemic, many Chinese overseas have chosen to return to China to avoid the outbreak. However some people were ill. Tianjin municipal government announced on 22 March that there were four new imported confirmed cases, two of them were a French Chinese couple. They took the flight from Paris to Beijing. A passenger posted on Weibo that the couple had fever symptoms a week before they flew but hided the truth and took paracetamol before boarding the plane. He only reported he had symptoms such as fever, dry cough and headache when he was at immigration. A passenger discovered the French male felt unwell before he boarded but his wife claimed there was no need to worry and explained her husband coughed only because of his smoking habit and “he was fine and was not unwell”. After arriving at Tianjin, as 7 people on the plane had a fever, all 200 people on the plane had to undergo mandatory quarantine.

The Chinese Government has FOOLED you!

Youtuber SerpentZA recounts some of his friends' experiences dealing with the recently intensified racism in China. State-endorsed discrimination comes in the form of segregation on flights reminiscent of Rosa Parks, being called an "American virus", evicting Africans from apartments and forcing them to leave the country on short notice, among other examples.

When China first realised that the epidemic was a crisis, the government put Wuhan on lockdown but allowed departing international flights. It "didn't care that the virus… spread to your country", only that it did not spread within its borders.

At the same time, "China banned the export of masks and vital medical supplies". Foreign products manufactured in China were hoarded locally. The government also “ordered all state-linked companies abroad to… liberate” them from foreign countries.

He calls attention to China's attempt to save face, "the appearance that something is more important than its substance [by] spending immense amounts of money and state resources on soft power". The state-run media talks about racism and xenophobia against Chinese and Asians overseas to divert attention away from the "very real racist policies" within. "If you have ever… looked at China in a positive light… it means that their manipulative ways have worked on you."

"This is only the tip of the iceberg. China does not have this thing under control."
