Xi Jinping revealed that he knew about epidemic situation and analysis on 7 Jan
(15 Feb) The Chinese Communist Party ’s media, Qiushi, published the full text of the Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping’s response to the outbreak on 3 Feb at the Politburo Standing Committee on 3 Feb. The article shows that Xi was aware of the epidemic in Wuhan on 7 Jan and held a meeting to request for prevention and control. However, at that time, Xinhua News Agency did not mention the epidemic situation in Wuhan at all, but quoting Xi’s speaking other current affairs throughout.
Some observers believe that the reasons that Communist Party’s journal revealing “Xi has known about the epidemic in Wuhan and made important instructions” are not just for praising Xi, showing how wise and brave Xi is, and taking responsibility off of Xi, but also mean to blame the local authorities in Hubei and Wuhan. It seems to copy what happened the Qinling villa incident in Shaanxi.

Police Commissioner denies His Gags Has Hurt the Force's Reputation at Banquet with Pro-China Celebrities
A response was finally heard from Commissioner Tang Ping-keung on March 2 concerning his banquet with pro-China celebrities, where they sang karaoke and Tang cracked inappropriate jokes about learning to be police from actors.
Watch video: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/17444
Tang excused himself by saying that his comment was meant to be "humorous" and "courteous" to other guests, denying that it could affect the reputation of the force. He accused those sharing the video as making a fuss over a trivial.
Tang admitted, though, amidst the Coronavirus outbreak, he was not sensitive enough to keeping a distance with acquaintances in social gatherings.
Legislator Alvin Yeung criticized Tang's response as a lame excuse: As a public servant heading a 30,000-strong disciplinary force, he should be reserved in his manner, not frivolous in talking and joking.

Cash payout of HK$10,000 to HK residents, Chinese netizens recommend proof of “patriotic thought” as a requirement
(26 Feb) The financial Secretary has revealed in a speech to the legislative council of hong kong planning to pay permanent residents whose age are over 18 HK$10,000 each. This has stirred up heat from Chinese social media as they believed the money used by the Hong Kong government was given by the Chinese Central Government. Most of the commenters expressed envy, jealousy and even hate. They expressed the hardships that they endured due to the coronavirus outbreak as the nation continues to grind to a screeching halt as more than 20 million people are still confined in their homes.
Some netizens even proposed that the lump sum payment should only be made when the recipient has demonstrated their patriotic spirit with acts like singing the Chinese national anthem in full. The thing is that most Chinese mainlanders do not understand that Hong Kong is fiscally independent of the Chinese government, thus the money used for the scheme comes from Hong Kong taxpayers, not Chinese taxpayers.
Furthermore, as the cash payout scheme only benefits Hong Kong permanent residents, some non-permanet residents are complaining that they do not benefit even though they pay their fair share of taxes. Miss Zhao took to social media to show her discontent, posting:” The Hong Kong government is giving out money to permanent residents, but we non-permanent taxpayers are not benefited, even though the outbreak affects us all equally.” She also pointed out that the government had not taken into consideration about minority groups stating a policy Macau has recently announced to hand out cash payouts whether or not an individual is a permanent or non-permanent resident.
Judging from the reactions of Chinese social media, Chinese propaganda has been working hard to spread misinformation, deepening the already deep divide between Hong Kong and Mainland China.
