2046 - 2103 | Yoho Mall, Yuen Long
Today marks the seventh mensiversary of the July 21 Attacks at Yuen Long. Civilians have gathered in Yoho Mall, Yuen Long this evening to commemorate the event, as well to urge the government to bring justice to the attackers.
While civilians were protesting inside the mall, riot police could be seen on standby outside the mall. Yuen Long district councilor from Kingswood North Ng Kin Wai had asked the police commander on-site whether the police would enter the mall, which the commander responded that they may, as they claimed illegal activities were being conducted inside.
Another Yuen Long district councilor from Shui Pin Samuel Lai Kwok-wing stated that he saw riot police using cardboard to hold the main doors of the mall, which he suspected were to convenience the riot police by easing their entrance into the mall.
Other district councilors are currently negotiating with the police.

Police Targets Reporters for Questioning; Doors Chained to Convenience Riot Police
2125 - 2137 | Yoho Mall, Yuen Long
The police commander on-site had suddenly entered the mall questioning reporters. A reporter from Apple Daily stated that they had filmed the riot police for some time, but they were uncertain as to the reason of their questioning, as they had worn reflective shirts and brought with them their identification documents.
Reporters had also commented that some riot police had entered the mall and proclaimed that they would enter the mall and "uphold the law". The main doors of the mall could also be seen chained to possibly allow for quicker police deployment.

Public Hospital cuts down N95 mask supply, causing fear among medical staff for higher risk of Coronavirus infection
There are "invisible patients of Wuhan Pneumonia" in Hong Kong, yet the provision of protective gears in public hospitals has been shrinking.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is suspected of banning frontline staff from wearing N95 masks for colonoscopy and gastroscopy examination, causing deep concerns on the growing risks of infection.
Medics pointed out that the faeces of Wuhan pneumonia patients may carry coronavirus, coupled with the fact that in public hospitals, gastroscopy examination is conducted without anaesthetic. In any case, if an invisible patient coughs during the examination, conducting gastroscopy and colonoscopy without proper protective gear pose a high risk of infection.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital did not respond directly to the matter, only saying that public hospitals had developed guidelines for using masks.

Li Ka Shing Foundation ordered N95 filter masks for medical staff in Hong Kong.
Since the Hong Kong government has been incapable of proscuring masks for the population, the problem of mask shortage persisted in Hong Kong.
From political groups, NGO, restaurants to individuals, those who managed to source masks distributed masks, sometimes, for free and sometimes, at a cost.
While the borders with China remain open, the demand for masks would continue in Hong Kong.

COVID-19: The Spectre That Haunts China
By institutionalizing "Xi Jinping thought" and enshrining it in foreign policy, the political regime run by the Chinese Communist Party operates on, according to their own words, "the lack of respect towards scientific data and the draconian checks within the Chinese system."
In a similar vein, the ever-changing reporting criteria for the coronavirus epitomizes China's arbitrary 'standard'. The imprecision, or the intended inaccuracy, allows government officials to shrug off their accountability and the party members to carry out their political agendas.
Therefore, the most transparent and thorough set of data of the Wuhan pneumonia can only be obtained outside China. This is, for instance, the statistics from the Diamond Princess Cruise which has been anchored in Yokohama, Japan since February 4, 2020.
While the world is discussing whether the statistics released by PRC's health authorities and WHO's stance are in favour of China, Xi Jinping gave a rather clear answer in his political order that no anti-epidemic measures should put pressure on the PRC's economic workings.
As German scientists and researchers found that the Wuhan Pneumonia virus could survive on object surfaces for up to several days, this increases the uncertainty of the prospect of China exports. When China's economy depends very much on exports, which province would report itself as a epidemic area, when this might preveny foreign countries from trading with China. Under these circumstances, the already shaky Chinese data only loses its credibility further in the omnipresence of political order.
Likewise, the Hong Kong government, which does not possess any diplomatic powers, had cojoined Beijing to condemn countries like Italy for the refusal of PRC national's entry during the coronavirus outbreak. Demonstrating this failed opportunism is also the Hong Kong government's rejection of foreign reporters' and scholars' entry into Hong Kong since the Anti-extradition Law Movement in June 2019.
To a large extent, in comtemporary Chinese political culture dialectical idealism has overriden dialectical materialism, contrary to the Marxist philosophy supposedly followed by the Chinese Communist Party.
"Everything is possible as long as you believe in it": This may summarize the general attitude held by all Chinese Communist Party officials on matters of fighting the epidemic and their political principles.
