Recruiters for controversial pro-Meng Wanzhou protest have Richmond and Regina links
More than two dozen people protested in downtown Vancouver for Men Wangzhaou on January 20, getting paid at stound $100 to $150 for it. Many of them were picketing and holding signs with messages such as "Free Ms. Meng. Bring Michael home", "Trump stop bullying us," "Equal justice.”
Reporters repeatedly tried to interview them and ask them questions. However, many of them were extremely unwilling to participate in the interviews. Those who were interviewed were often found unable to answer many of the interview questions.
This bizarre incident gained global media attention. Both Huawei Canada and the Canadian correspondent for CCTV, a state-owned broadcast network, denied involvements in this incident.
It was soon discovered that there were two women involved in this fake protest. One of them going by the name of Helen Zhou, who is the director of Arcadia Winery and Arcadia Trading Inc. of Richmond and a $1,200 donor to the BC Liberal Party in September 2018.
The second woman, Joey Zhang, was involved in recruiting and was reportedly the one who paid one of the participants.
The questions of who the two women work for, and what exactly are their motives still remain as an unanswered question.

Online Image of Wuhan SO2 Content Went Viral; Fear Stirred Up Due to the Lack of Actual Information from China
Despite claims over the epidemic was under control, netizens discovered on Windy, a live wind map and weather forecast website, that the Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) content in Wuhan were extremely high, to over1,500 µg/m3. Some netizens even estimated that over 14,000 corpses were being burnt, as others pointed out industrial activities were kept to a minimum due to government orders.
Media sites like The Sun and Daily Mirror followed suit, suggesting that high levels of SO2 could have come from an unusual crematorium activity in the cities. However, the claims were dismissed by PRC's Ministry of Ecology and Environment and news media such as Euronews. Nonetheless, the fear and the rumour that had been stirred up reflected the lack of actual information about the epidemic situation in China.
Earlier, the Wuhan local government in China ordered all bereaved families to simplify burial processes and all funeral homes to provide 24-7 services. Online videos also showed that funeral homes were crammed with corpses to be cremated, while in the mortuary of hospitals, some same-sex corpses were even stacked in one cell.

Interview with Mishtar Life Style
We sat down for a chat with Tam and Mike, co-owners of Mishtar Life Style and supporters of the freedom movement in Hong Kong. In the first part, the couple talked about their handicraft store and the Native American culture of blessing that had inspired their handmade dream catchers in the context of the events happening in the city. In the second part, Tam and Mike tell us more about their business, Mishtar Life Style, in the context of the movement and share their insights into the Yellow Economic Circle in this second instalment of our interview. In the last part, we turn our focus to the Wuhan pneumonia and share some final thoughts about today’s Hong Kong.
“It might also offer legal assistance and therefore protection to independent artisans like ourselves when it comes to issues like intellectual property, areas where we’re pretty much helpless without a trade union.”

The Power of Admitting One’s Fault
From the Facebook page of Reasons for Long Distance Travel
This week my Taiwanese friend flew from Taipei to Hong Kong earlier than planned because of an urgent issue.
She had to tell a staff she recruited lately that he did not pass the probation period. For this, she lost sleep for a few days pondering if this should be the decision to make. She had also asked for my opinion.

First Patient of Tear Gas-caused Lung Damage Signs DNR and Supports Teaching of Medical Students by Signing up to be "Silent Mentor"
Dr Kenneth Kwong Si-san, former lecturer at CUHK, stated today (Feb 17) on Facebook that possibly the first patient in Hong Kong to be diagnosed with tear gas-caused lung damage had signed DNR, and hoped to be treated by Professor David SC HUI of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics in CUHK.
Kwong stated that the patient signed up to be a "silent mentor", a body donation scheme for anatomical examination in relation to teaching and research. As patients suffered from tear gas-related diseases had always been treated by Professor Hui, he wishes Hui and his team at Prince Wales Hospital would tend to the patient who now currently resides in Tuen Mun Hospital.
Kwong also quoted the patient, who expressed his wish to receive palliative care with dignity, become a "slient mentor", and be treated post mortem by Pasu Ng Kwai-lun, embalmer of "slient mentors" at CUHK.

Hong Kong Government Allocates More N95 masks to the Police Force Than The Department of Heath
According to an internal document obtained by Apple Daily, it was discovered that 640,000 face masks and 13,000 N95 masks were distributed to the Hong Kong Police Force. The police force obtained the second most amount of face masks amonv all government departments.
Although the Department of Health has obtained 1.3 million surgical masks, only 300 N95 masks were allocated to the department, which was incomparable to the number obtained by the police.
In view of the supply shortage in the city and hospitals, the generous amount of supply allocated to the police force stirred up discontent.
The public relations branch of the police, however, responded that theit supply was only sufficient for one-week operation.

Residents: Replacing the Government and Introducing Universal Suffrage is the Only Solution
200 residents gathered peacefully to oppose the government’s plan in converting Sai Kung Outdoor Recreation Centre into a quarantine centre. The rally initiated by a district council member was held in Sai Kung Waterfront Park and has received a notice of no objection from the police.
There was a similar rally last week decrying the same government plan, which ended with the arrest of 2 civilians. Among them one was injured in the head by the police.
Residents voiced their opinions and raised signs reading “Objection Against Using Sai Kung Outdoor Recreation Centre as A Coronavirus Quarantine Centre “and “Closing the Hong Kong Border is the Only Solution”.
Some residents described the government as “always choosing to be an enemy to the people”; some said the government had already started to convert the location into a quarantine camp. They said they felt very powerless and believed that the problem can only be solved with a replacement of the entire government. “What they are doing is very harmful for the next generation,” one resident said.
