Audiences teared up during a radio program when discussing the situation in Hong Kong
(25 Nov) There is a phone-in section in a radio program of Hong Kong Commercial Radio in the morning. Various Hong Kong citizens had called to express their views about the election.
1. A 68-year-old man voted for the first time in his life in the District Council Election. The host asked why he voted. He started to cry and said, “My wife and I went to vote because of the protests at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She teared up when she saw the universities became like battlefields. We, as elders, could not go on the streets and protest. We could not leave this place as well. We could only use our votes [to voice our opinions]. (Tearing up continuously) What are the protesters fighting for? They have sacrificed their lives, dignity and future to fight for our freedom. I need the government to compromise and acquit all protesters.” The host asked him whether he got comfort from the election’s results. He sobbed for a few seconds and answered “Yes.”
2. A 44-year-old man used to be pro-police. After the 21 July incident he had become a yellow ribbon. “There’s no way we can tolerate triad members colluding with the police. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) voted for the Extradition Bill. So I want to vote them out. Starry Lee Wai-King does not need to resign. Instead, I want her to go down with DAB. But I would like to thank Carrie Lam for uniting all Hongkongers.”
3. A local resident living in a walled village in the northern district revealed that his district councilor has always been the only candidate running for the district council election. This year he’s no longer uncontested, and is challenged by a young candidate who is willing to go into the village and talk to the residents. He and his two pro-democracy sons are going to vote for the younger candidate. “But I’m more worried about the Legislative election next year— it’s going to be unfair and they (the government) will use all means, for instance, vote-rigging. I hope the pro-democratic councilors will figure out what to do about it.”
4. A woman used to vote, but had no particular political stance. The police brutality and tear gas in the past 6 months made her realise that all Hongkongers cannot just focus on themselves. “It is really heart breaking to see how (these people) are treating our young people. I hope the elected District Councillors will demand Carrie Lam to set up an independent commission of inquiry to thoroughly investigate the police brutality that took place on 21 July and 31 August.”
5. An old man said in a sobbing voice that after months of despair, he was willing to line up for an hour to vote for a new candidate whom he did not know at all. “I hate how these people are taking side with the evil. This has to be a victory for the people of Hong Kong. I hope the newly elected District Councillors and the alumni of the Polytechnic University will go and save the kids trapped in PolyU.”
6. A man lived near the waterfront of Yuen Long. He finally managed to see someone who was willing to come challenge the District Councillor who had been uncontested for years. “You beat up the citizens. Then expect them to vote you out. There is zero tolerance to police brutality. An independent commission of inquiry must be established. Five demands, not one less! Glory be…” He was so emotional that he was unable to continue.

Hong Kong's First aider charged with rioting for possessing radio communication device in Anti-ELAB Protests
On December 28, 2020, the District Maginstrates in Hong Kong cleared six people of rioting charges during an #antiELAB protests in Causeway Bay on August 31, 2019, but convicted one man of rioting after noting that he had tried to run away from the police.
Handing down the not-guilty verdicts, judge Frankie Yiu said although the six defendants had been wearing similar outfits to the rioters at the scene, the prosecution had failed to prove their involvement beyond all reasonable doubt.
However, Chan Cho-ho, aged 24, was convicted of rioting and possessing radio communication devices without a licence. Yiu said Chan was equipped with full protest gear and had attempted to run away from the police, while his companion had also tried to attack officers as they fled.
According to thr judge, it was "unacceptable" of Chan to try to defend himself by saying he was at the scene of the riot as a first-aider. Chan was remanded in custody until sentencing next month.

The US Regulates Broadcaster to Declare Foreign-Sponsored Programs to Increase Transparency and to Prevent Chinese or Russian Propaganda
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), accounting for regulating broadcasting, has a unanimous vote on Thursday (22 April) that television and radio broadcasting must declare the programs sponsored or provided by a foreign government.
Acting Chairman of FCC, Jessical Rosenworcel, stated that FCC recently received countless reports relating to foreign government-sponsored programs. She indicated that FCC knew that foreign entities purchase broadcast time slots across the country. She especially pointed Chinese and Russian out for their government-sponsored programs.
The original policy does not state when and how a foreign government-sponsored program being publicly reported. Under FCC new-passed regulation, if foreign government entities directly or indirectly purchase time slots through television or radio station, they must state during the broadcasting.
FCC stated in the statement, “This regulation will increase the transparency to make sure audience understand foreign government or its representative’s organisations are using atmospheric waves to persuade American”.
