【10.4 One Evil Law After Another: Hongkongers Stand Up Against Tyranny】
In-depth analysis: Why do Hongkongers Protest against the Anti Mask Law?
First, the law claims to be against protesters but the truth is it isn't.
When the court announce sentences, the majority of sentences are executed simultaneously. The maximum sentence of the Anti-Mask law is one year in prison, while protesters being arrested by the police would at least get a charge for unlawful assembly/assaulting police, or in worst cases, for rioting, each of these with longer sentences than the Anti-Mask law so its sentence will be covered anyway. While without being arrested there is no faces to be recognized so effectively the conditions of conditions are unchanged.
So what the police really want to hit is the fourth pillar of Democracy, the media and the reporters. Reporters had decisive influence in the movement. And if they can be arrested, there will be no way the media could oversee the government's work truthfully and accurately. Think about it: once the Police release tear gas in the field, reporters would be forced to flee the scene due to wearing gas masks being illegal under the Anti-Mask law. This allows the Police to plant evidence and even openly rape and abuse female protesters. They can kill the protesters and accuse them of resisting. All of these could happen when the fourth pillar, the media go missing.

War zone bans arms in hospitals, but Hong Kong police behaved differently
A 14 year-old boy was shot by an off-duty police officer with a live round on October 4, leaving him in critical condition.
After he had been sent to Tuen Mun Hospital, the riot police in full gear and holding long guns entered the hospital lobby and stood on guard at the hospital (see video).
Dr Au Yiu-Kai, an experienced war-zone surgeon criticized the behaviour of the police. “They are so scared that they have to hold onto their guns. All they know is to intimidate others. They have no considerations for other people. Or they are just utterly foolish and naive.” He said that both MSF and Red Cross have international guidelines banning arms in war-zone hospitals, to protect the safety of medical professionals and patients. He said that the acts of the Hong Kong could motivate other parties to bring weapons into hospitals and stir up conflicts.

October 4: The Day When the Government Invokes Emergency Powers to Bypass Legislature and Implement the Anti-Mask Law
After the news was announced, citizens started a new wave of protests to show the authorities their discontent. Many people joined in after work and school. Students in uniform were sighted in the rallies across districts (see photo). In a march from Central to Causeway Bay, a citizen played the song “Glory to Hong Kong” with his recorder, as a way to cheer up Hongkongers despite adversities (see photo).
Meanwhile, some people rushed to grocery stores to stock up their food storage, as if the city was going into a state of emergency. Many supermarkets became empty (see photo).
Although the government denied a proclamation of martial law and an imposition of a curfew, police ordered all bus companies to terminate their services while MTR suspended its services of all lines.
High Court refused to grant injunction order to the Face-Covering Ordinance.

Netizens pointed out 9 questionable points in the ‘rioters’ video
Someone uploaded a video with title, ‘Who did that? Rioters or Crusaders?’ and stated that on 4th October, ‘rioters’ damaged a train that stopped at FanLing station. However, netizens immediately discovered 9 questionable points!
(A little background for those who are not familiar with Hong Kong subway station system. A direct train is a train that goes directly from Hung Hom to Mainland China without stopping. Meanwhile, the Fan Ling station was closed at 21:30 HKT that night but the news reported the damage was done after 23:00 HKT.)
1st: On the same night that Anti-mask law was publicised, MTR was forced to shut down all stations. Anyone other than the train station officers and cops were unable to access any stations.
2: A direct trains to mainland China would never stop at Fan Ling station
3: The front of the train was facing Hung Hom, but it was on the wrong platform
4: Only one media was there to film it
5: The video was taken from the inside of the train then moving outside of the train toward the platform
6: The train stayed stationary and wasn’t moving for quite a long time
7: Those who were ‘protestors’ moved very slowly and they seemed to not worry about getting arrested. They even waited for the train’s doors to open.
8: When the ‘protestors’ opened the emergency door, the alarm did not go off (as it normally does)
9: Some of the ‘protestors’ were seen wearing similar shoes to those that cops have been wearing
Conclusion: It is quite obvious that the Communist Party splurged their money on these acts to smear protestors
Train = Prop
People = Actors

Medical Professor and SARS Expert Joseph Sung: Giving up on Hong Kong's younger generation means losing faith in future
At the start of the pro-democracy movement in 2019, the Hong Kong government, and business sector have been ignoring the youngsters' demands. Annie Wu, daughter of Maxim's Catering's founder, said that she had lost all hope in them, causing the pro-democracy fraction to boycott the company and its chains.
In a radio show recently, Joseph Sung, former professor and ex-Vice-Chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) disagreed that one should give up and lose hope on the younger generation.
During the show, Sung said that he understood the frustrations of the younger generation, but they should not lose hope just because they are unable to own homes. He suggested that if one cannot get married and have kids, they could perhaps work overseas for a few years and contribute to the society when they are back. He also said that the younger generation is very creative and energetic, and that people should not write them off. He said that giving up on the younger generation means losing faith in the future, and urged the different generstions to listen to each other.

Former Chief Executive Condemns HK's Secretary for Education for ignoring Xi’s opinion
The "803 HK" is a bounty website formed by CY Leung, former HK's Chief Executive and current chairman of CCPCC. Leunv applied for a judicial review at Hong Kong's,High Court on Oct 3, 2020, requesting the Court to order Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung to disclose the personal information of the teacher who was disqualified because of accusations of "professional misconduct" recently.
On Oct 4, Leung quoted from CCP secretary-general Xi Jinping “為官避事平生恥”, which means as a public servant one should not hide away from any challenge. Leung’s post implied that the Secretary for Education should follow Xi’s saying.
Leung also called the Hong Kong Professional Teachers' Union (#HKPTU) as a "union of bullies", claiming that “chaos will continue as long as HKPTU exists”.
In his post, Leung described the disqualified teacher and HKPTU as an "overbearing driver" and a "bully". The Education Bureau, on the other hand, was described as a "traffic warden" who hid away from the public’s demand to disclose the teacher’s personal information to avoid trouble. Then, Leung criticised the “traffic warden” for ignoring Xi’s famous quote, and shirking the responsibility to the judge.
Leung said the Bureau should “be strong” and not be afraid of the “bully” HKPTU.

#PandoraPapers Expose Undisclosed Assets of Former Hong Kong #ChiefExecutives
Hong Kong Stand News took part in the Pandora Papers investigations by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (#ICIJ), joining forces with over 600 journalists across 117 countries and territories in uncovering secret finances of the rich and powerful of the world.
The papers uncovered undisclosed assets held by two former chief executives of Hong Kong, #LeungChunYing and TungCheeWah, both of whom are now serving on the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (#CPPCC) as vice-chairmen.
(1) Leung Chun-ying's Undisclosed #UGL-Related Sales May Constitute Misconduct, Says Ex-ICAC Officer
Leung was found to have made undisclosed sales of shares worth HKD $2.3 million in EuroAsia Properties, a subsidiary of international property services firm DTZ, which he held through a convoluted string of ownership via two offshore companies.
Notably, the undisclosed sale occurred during an anti-corruption investigation on Leung in 2015, in which he was said to have received HKD $50 million as part of an agreement with Australian firm UGL when it acquired DTZ Holdings. The details of the newly found sales agree with those of the UGL agreement, which was disclosed by Sydney Morning Herald.
The ICIJ and Stand News had inquired Leung regarding the new findings, without receiving a reply.
Since the Pandora Papers were published, however, Leung published a statement on the same day, claiming that the government's reporting rules did not require declaring changes in subsidiary companies. He also said that he had initiated procedures for resigning from his director's position at EuroAsia before becoming chief executive, and that it may not be immediately effective due to the differing legal processes in different countries.
However, barrister and former ICAC Chief Investigation Officer Stephen Char said that this shows that loopholes exist in the government's procedures of declaring assets. If there is sufficient evidence that the omission is deliberate, Char added, it may constitute an offence of Misconduct in public office.
(2) Tung Chee-Wah and Family Involved in Over 72 Offshore Companies
The Pandora Papers also show former chief executive Tung Chee-wah and his family to be involved in at least 72 offshore companies, of which 7 are owned by Tung.
One company's HSBC bank account was found to have current assets worth an estimated USD $1 million.
Tung's youngest son also has a Bank of China account via another offshore company. Tung's brother Chee-chen allegedly also has bank accounts through 4 offshore companies, and owns mansions in opulent neighborhoods via yet another two offshore companies.
Of the 7 companies owned by Tung, the papers show that he has either full or partial ownership in his name or in a company name. These 7 are all established in March 2005, after Tung's resignation from his chief executive position.
Now 84 years of age, Tung was conspicuously absent at the flag-raising ceremony on China's national day last Friday, Oct 1. His spokesperson said that Tung was not feeling well that day, and was resting at home.

He also said that he had initiated procedures for resigning from his director's position at EuroAsia before becoming chief executive, and that it may not be immediately effective due to the differing legal processes in different countries.
However, barrister and former ICAC Chief Investigation Officer Stephen Char said that this shows that loopholes exist in the government's procedures of declaring assets. If there is sufficient evidence that the omission is deliberate, Char added, it may constitute an offence of Misconduct in public office.
(2) Tung Chee-Wah and Family Involved in Over 72 Offshore Companies
The Pandora Papers also show former chief executive Tung Chee-wah and his family to be involved in at least 72 offshore companies, of which 7 are owned by Tung.
One company's HSBC bank account was found to have current assets worth an estimated USD $1 million.
Tung's youngest son also has a Bank of China account via another offshore company. Tung's brother Chee-chen allegedly also has bank accounts through 4 offshore companies, and owns mansions in opulent neighborhoods via yet another two offshore companies.
Of the 7 companies owned by Tung, the papers show that he has either full or partial ownership in his name or in a company name. These 7 are all established in March 2005, after Tung's resignation from his chief executive position.
Now 84 years of age, Tung was conspicuously absent at the flag-raising ceremony on China's national day last Friday, Oct 1. His spokesperson said that Tung was not feeling well that day, and was resting at home.
