Joint Students' Unions of Chinese University of Hong Kong issue open statement calling on HongKongers to stand in solidarity and fight on
In remembrance of a year since police's brutal attack of pro-democracy protesters at Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), seven students' unions issued a joint statement recounting the siege on 11 November 2019 which turned the campus into chaotic battlefield: “Police fired at least 1,600 canisters of tear gas, 1,300 rubber bullets, 400 beanbag rounds and 100 sponge-tipped bullets.”
In the joint statement, the students' unions expressed that “the aftermath of the battle was grim: 10 civilians were convicted of rioting. The university bore witness to countless injuries, not to mention the unexpected attack of its president Rocky Tuan by tear gas cannisters fired from the police.”
Although the students' unions viewed the future of Hong Kong as “dark and plagued with despair”, they called on Hongkongers to stand in solidarity and “inherit the truth.”
In defiance, the unions cited the a line from Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's film "The Grandmaster": “Hold a breath, and light a lamp”, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

First Anniversary of CUHK Defense War: “Hong Kong Independence” Slogan Reappears but is Quickly Removed
On November 12, 2019, pro-democracy Hongkongers launched the Operation Dawn across different districts.
Debris was thrown to train tracks and Tolo Highway. At the No. 2 bridge of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), the police fired tear gas grenades towards civilians triggering the “CUHK Defense War”.
One year on, graffiti appeared in many places on the CUHK campus on the early morning of November 12, 2020.
Among them, the words “Hong Kong Independence” appeared on the external wall of the University Library located in the Central Campus; however, it was soon covered up with paint.

#CUHK Management Censors Protest Photos Displayed in Exhibition; Flags with “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” Covered

In a call to the organisers, the university management was concerned with some wordings that might deem provocative. In the exhibition, the protest slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” which appear on some flags in several photos, were seen covered by black paper.
The provisional president of the Students' Union (#CUSU) pointed out that students had organised many exhibitions on the 1989 Beijing Tiananmen massacre. The university authorities had never expressed any concerns .
However, this time the university management called the students union several times and clearly stated that such an event would cause "dissatisfaction among some alumni, or the students' union would be targeted".
Au is very surprised by such reaction. He worries that the freedom of expression in the university is no longer safeguarded and the #CUSU would face difficulties when organizing similar events.
Au also pointed out that it is very normal for students to care about politics. He doesn’t think that the university president Rocky Sung-chi Tuan, who is currently attacked by Beijing loyslists, has sided with any parties. Au found it absurd for the Police Officers' Association to issue an open letter to condemn Tuan.

Angry Chinese Netizens Lash Out at #KPop Group #Blackpink for Touching Panda with Bare Hands
Chinese netizens lashed out at K-pop idol group Blackpink and their fans, after the members of the group were shown touching a baby panda with bare hands in the reality show "24/365 with BLACKPINK”.
Chinese netizens claimed that Pandas are China’s national treasure, and reprimanded Blackpink members for their "poor personal hygiene" as they were not wearing gloves.
Editor's note: This is not the first time when celebrities outside China fell prey to Chinese netizens' attack. In October 2020, world-famous K-pop band #BTS was harshly condemned by Chinese people for mentioning the Korean War, as the band commemorated the sacrifice of Korean and US soldiers.

China’s “recolonization” of Hong Kong could soon be complete
The Chinese Communist party (CCP) has made clear it has no intention of honouring the international treaty its signed with the UK in 1984, which promised a high degree of autonomy to Hong Kong for at least 50 years. The most important aspect of this affront to the former colonists is what it tells us about the kind of power a rising CCP intends to be in the world.
The sweeping changes in the territory indicate that President Xi Jinping really does believe China is engaged in a bitter ideological struggle with the “extremely malicious”, “western” ideas of liberalism and democracy.
