HK Official: US sanctions are "barbaric"
On August 7, the US Treasury sanctioned 11 Hong Kong and CCP officers, including CE Carrie Lam and Secretary for Security Lee Ka-chiu.
Hong Kong Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Edward Yau criticised the sanction as “unreasonable”, that it “reflects a double standard”, and it was a “way to violently intervene a country or place”. Regarding the ban of transaction between US corporations and TikTok, he claimed that this showed the US is not willing to admit its wrongdoings. He added that the international society will not be convinced that such sanctions are reasonable.
The sanction documents revealed personal information like the addresses and ID card numbers of sanctioned officers. Yau criticised that this was “uncivilised” and “barbaric” to target particular persons.
Yau stressed that the Hong Kong SAR Government will review the sanctions and devise a response plan to protect its "core values".

Masked Man Kneeled in Front of Police After Being Ticketed for "Not Wearing Mask Properly"
1952 | Sheung Tak Carpark, Tseung Kwan O
A man in 7-11 uniform was searched by the police after he yelled "Yi Jin boys".
The police tried to twist his arms and fine him for violating the Anti-pandemic Ordinance No. 599I on the ground that he did not "wear his mask properly". The man has been wearing his mask all along. Facing the police's accusation, the man kneeled on the ground and pleaded helplessly in front of the police, for that he cannot afford to pay the fine.
Editor's note: The Diploma Yi Jin is an education program in Hong Kong, as an alternative to university undergraduate program.

Hong Kong Doctor Explains Why China's Mixed Testing Method is Not Effective and HK Government's Practice is Impoverished
There are three main ways to collect specimen for COVID19 tests, including nose swab, deep throat swab, and deep throat saliva sampling.
Regarding a Chinese expert’s criticism of the deep throat saliva sample testing, a public hospital doctor in Hong Kong pointed out that this was because nose swab and deep throat swab were mainly used in China, and mixed testing will require more workload.
Respiratory Medicine specialist in Hong Kong Dr. Leung Chi-chi explained that the common practice in China was to mix 5 samples, and it was less effective. If a patient is highly contagious and carries more virus, then the test result will still be positive. Yet, if the patient is in an early state of infection, or carries less virus, then the result may come back as negative. Mixed sample testing was usually used in large-scale testing instead of clinical diagnosis to avoid an inaccurate result.
In China, medical staff collect specimen for the testing through a throat swab, whereas the Hong Kong government asks Hong Kong citizens to collect specimen themselves. Doctors in Hong Kong criticised that this practice was even more impoverished than China.

Chinese biotech companies appointed by HK Government for #COVID19 testing
Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced that three national-level testing facilities will be in charge of voluntary community testing in Hong Kong that will be launched in two weeks. The three facilities include #BGI Group, #KingMed and #Hybribio.
BGI Group was recently sanctioned by the US government for facilitating mandatory gene testing in Xinjiang, while the other two are closely related to the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government.
Hybribio is under the Chinese Academy of Science and Shanghai Atomic Nucleus Institute of the Shanghai local committee. KingMed set up a branch in Hong Kong in 2014, while its parent company Guangzhou KingMed Diagnostics is managed by CCP committee members. Its major shareholder Liang Yaoming is also the Secretary of Party Committee. Liang stated in a previous interview that KingMed will be responsible for the “testing” in Hong Kong.

CCP Official in Hong Kong Responds to U.S. Sanction: I don’t have any assets in the U.S.
The Treasury of the United States announced the sanction of 7 Hong Kong and 4 Chinese officials, including PRC's Hong Kong Liaison Office Head Luo Huining, Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office Director Xiao Baolong, Vice Director Zhang Xiaoming, and Office for Safeguarding National Security Director Zheng Yanxiong.
Chinese official Luo stated that the fact that he was sanctioned “proves he did the right thing for the country and Hong Kong.” He also pointed out that he did not own any assets in the US, so the sanction was “a waste of effort”. He added, “Of course, I can send $100 to Mr. Trump so that he can freeze it.”
The Liaison Office issued a statement to "strongly oppose and condemn" the sanction. The spokesperson stated that they were "not scared of any barbaric behaviour" and if the US thought the so-called sanction can make China compromise, they have “forgotten the times, made wrong plans, and wasted their efforts.”
It was also reiterated that the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong aimed to fill the loopholes in the existing laws, however, foreign politicians have been anxious since the implementation. The Office for Safeguarding National Security criticised the US for violating the basic principles of international laws and for sanctioning officers on the ridiculous bases of “limiting the political freedom in Hong Kong”. It was suggested that these US politicians showed their intention of supporting rioters, and they were just like “clowns”.
