#Banner on Hong Kong's Mountain Reads: "National Security Dog Devours the Blood of the Children"

A gigantic black banner that is approximately 30m long and 3m wide was sighted on Kowloon Peak, Hong Kong on the morning of Feb 6, 2021.

The words were written in white. The first part of the message is encoded with a homonym for "national security dog". The second part means "devour the blood of the children".

In the past few days, the Education Bureau of Hong Kong has announced plan to include "national security education" into the Liberal Studies subject. The Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung even blatantly said that with the reformed curriculum, the subject could be called "National Education".

HK Government Ambushes To Kwa Wan and Tuen Mun with Mandatory Lockdowns

On the evening of Saturday, Feb 6, 2021, the Hong Kong government rolled out multi-district lockdowns again in To Kwa Wan and Tuen Mun.

The police sealed off Block 9 of Gold Coast in Tuen Mun and Wah Fat Building at Ma Hang Chung Road in To Kwa Wan (see photos) as the “restricted zones”.

The residential building in To Kwa Wan has been already included in the mandatory testing list, before the lockdown plan was announced.

The government did not explain why a lockdown was neccesary, but claimed that if residents can prove thay were tested negative in the past two days, they could be exempted from the mandatory #covid19 testing.

Insofar, the Hong Kong government only found confirmed cases at a positive rate of 0.17% and 0.003% in the first two mandatory lockdowns undertaken on Jan 23 and Jan 26, 2021. No cases were found in all the lockdowns that followed.

HK Government Imposes Lockdown on Residential Building Despite Mandatory Testing Order Issued 1 Day Ago

#DistrictCouncilor Lai Kwong-wai spoke to the media on Feb 6, 2021, next to the "restricted area" sealed off by the Hong Kong Police on Ma Hang Chung Road in To Kwa Wan.

In response to the government's ambush-style lockdown of Wah Fat Building, the District Councilor pointed out that the building has been enlisted on the mandatory test one day ago. This means that the residents were already required to undergo #Covid19 testing, even without the imposition of the lockdown.

Many residents could not see why the government had to enforce an additional lockdown on a Saturday.

Lai also expressed concern about the elderly homes in the area. He said if the government imposed lockdown in those buildings, the impacts would be unimaginable.

One Year Since the Death of
#Covid19 #Whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang in China

One year ago on Feb 6, 2020, Dr. Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist in Wuhan, died of the coronavirus in China.

At the first epicenter of the coronavirus in China, he revealed news of the outbreak of #WuhanPneumonia on Chinese social media platform as early as on December 30, 2019. He was later arrested by the Chinese Communist Party government for "publishing false statements."

On February 1, 2020, he announced himself having contracted the coronavirus. The news of his death was covered up and announced only later by the Chinese authorities, in order to control the emotion of the population.

While the #CCP accused Dr.Li of being a "rumour monger" when he was alive, the Chinese authorities changed their narrative and praised him after his death.
