HK Government Attempts to Censor #WuhanPneumonia but Applies Double Standard When China is Not Involved
In a press briefing organized by the Health Department in Hong Kong on Dec 18, 2020, the authorities attempted to stop a Apple Daily journalist from using the term "Wuhan Pneumonia".
In a reply to media's inquiry, the Hong Kong SAR government also warned the media to "avoid defamation when posing questions".
However, on Dec 21, 2020, the Secretary for Health and Food Sophia Chan in a press briefing referred the newly discovered coronavirus variant to the "UK virus" and the "UK variant".
Stand News inquired whether the Hong Kong government has committed "defamation" for not using the variant's proper name "501Y". The Hong Kong government denied and accused "some media" of "lacking credibility".
Meanwhile, it has become more and more apparent that the anti-defamation rule of Hong Kong government only applies to China, by dissociating Covid 19 from its earlier name "Wuhan Pneumonia".
Other than that, the Hong Kong SAR government
has been using dieases' names which denote a region or a country. For example,
- Athlete’s foot (in Chinese: "Hong Kong's foot)
https://www.drugoffice.gov.hk/eps/do/tc/consumer/news_informations/knowledge_on_medicines/antitinea_drugs.html
- German Measles

- Middle East Respiratory Syndrome

- Japanese Encephalitis

Student Shot by Police Flee Hong Kong: I Won't Get a Fair Trial Here
Tsang Chi-kin, 19, was shot in the chest by a police officer at close distance in a pro-demicracy protest on October 1, 2019 in Hong Kong. Tsang was arrested and accused of riotting.
See videos of the shot:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7356
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7372
Tsang was due to appear in court on Dec 22, 2020, but did not show up. On the same day, South China Morning Post and Apple Daily published their interview with him. In the interviews, he revealed that he was among the activists rejected by US consulate in Hong Kong earlier.
According to Apple Daily, Tsang without disclosing his current location has fled Hong Kong and sever contacts with his family and friends. Tsang said
he would not face a fair trial in Hong Kong and it was very likely that he would immediately be remanded into custody if he showed up.
"The national security law wasn’t there when I was arrested. But since the law was imposed, the repression is intensifying. The situation in Hong Kong is getting worse. I don’t think I can stay in Hong Kong,” Tsang said.
Tsang revealed that he was one of five protesters who had attempted to seek asylum at the US consulate in Hong Kong on October 27, 2020.
After they were turned down, Tsang was scared that the National Security Police were awaiting them, “Having sought help from the US consulate, I can now be charged with collusion with foreign forces under the national security law"
Tsang said it would be harder for him to stay in Hong Kong, "there is no turning back...I chose this path and I will walk on."
Tsang's girlfriend Aurora (alias), aged 15, revealed in an earlier interview that she was seeking asylum in the UK. Tsang has been worrying about her safety, "My situation puts her at risk. This is one of the reasons why I urgently need to leave. We have no other option but to separate for some time--at least one of us can stay safe. I miss her. I hope we can reunite soon in a place of freedom.”

"Good Riddance": China Tells Off Germany's UN Envoy Who Asks Beijing to Release 2 Detained Canadians for Christmas
Germany's UN envoy Ambassador Christoph Heusgen, during his last UN Security Council meeting, asked China to free two detained Canadians for Christmas:
"Let me end my tenure on the Security Council by appealing to my Chinese colleagues to ask Beijing for the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Christmas is the right moment for such a gesture."
Shortly after Canadian police arrested China's Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. warrant in 2018, the Chinese Communist Party government detained Michael Kovrig, a former Canadian diplomat and cuurent advisor for the International Crisis Group think tank, and businessman Michael Spavor in China.
China's deputy UN envoy Geng Shuang immediately comdemned Heusgen for "malicious attack" and fired:
"I wish to say something out of the bottom of my heart: Good riddance, Ambassador Heusgen. I am hoping that the council in your absence in the year 2021 will be in a better position to fulfil the responsibilities...for maintaining international peace and security."
Heusgen plans to retire after working as a diplomat for more than 40 years.

China’s ban on Australian coal backfires spectacularly as electricity shortages worsen
China unofficially banned Aussie coal since October, with steel mills and power companies apparently told to steer clear. It has also emerged that more than 60 ships carrying thermal and coking coal which is almost $700 million worth of Australian goods at are stuck off China’s coast.
Beijing’s brutal bullying tactics have hit Australian businesses hard, but it turns out the communist state is shooting itself in the foot.
In China, power shortages are increasing with millions of citizens resorting to rationing their heating over winter and avoiding using elevators.
In 2019, more than half of China’s thermal coal were imported from Australia for its power stations. Also, Australia supplied 40 per cent of the nation’s imports of coking coal.

China’s ban on Aussie coal seriously backfires
China’s savage trade war with Australia has brought a string of industries to their knees – but now, it appears the feud has also spectacularly backfired for Beijing.
