The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) shows strong concern to the “National Security Law”
(28 May) Yesterday, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) issued a declaration which demonstrated a strong attention to the “National Security Law” imposed to Hong Kong. The declaration pointed out, “China has routinely labelled legitimate protests as ‘terrorism’, which is not only a fabrication but also an affront to people everywhere who have suffered from the real threat of terrorism.” The implementation of the “National Security Law” in Hong Kong obliterate fundamental rights and freedoms. Sharen Burrow, the Chairmen of ITUC, urged global civil society to condemn actions taken by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and stop CCP passing the evil bill.
Dictatorship all over the world gets used to suppress dissidents by imposing national security concern. That’s why the Union is always leery on these types of legislation. Sharan Burrow, the Chairman of ITUC, came from union coalition in Australia. She is clear how Chinese capital and politics penetrate in different countries across the world. The objective of a union establishment is to emphasize the connection between citizens and society in the past. Now, she pushes all different unions to understand the real issues of China and problems in Hong Kong.

YouTube is deleting comments with two phrases that insult China’s Communist Party
//YouTube is automatically deleting comments that contain certain Chinese-language phrases related to criticism of the country’s ruling Communist Party (CCP). The company confirmed to The Verge this was happening in error and that it’s working to fix the issue.
//Comments left under videos or in live streams that contain the words “共匪” (“communist bandit”) or “五毛” (“50-cent party”) are automatically deleted in around 15 seconds, though their English language translations and Romanized Pinyin equivalents are not.
//The accidental censorship is even more puzzling considering that YouTube is currently blocked in China, giving its parent company, Google, even less reason to censor comments critical of the CCP or apply moderation systems in accordance with Chinese censorship laws.
//Google has frequently been criticized for accommodating the wishes of the CCP by censoring content. Most notably, it created a prototype search engine known as Project Dragonfly that complied with Chinese state censorship. The project, which was never deployed, is part of the company’s long-running struggles to enter the Chinese market.
//When news of Dragonfly leaked in 2018 in a report from The Intercept, Google was criticized by politicians and its own employees for selling out its principles. During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in June 2019, the company said it had “terminated” the project and that it had “no plans to launch Search in China.”

The political censorship has increased on Youtube amid the filtering of the Chinese word “Gong Fei” on the platform 1/3
Internet users have found that YouTube- an overseas online video sharing platform, is automatically filtering the comments with the Chinese word “gongfei” (literally means “Communist Bandit” in Mandarin). YouTube has previously been alleged of cracking down on freedom of speech by labelling videos regarding Covid-19 as “Not suitable for most advertisers” with a yellow dollar sign. These series of events made the public questions whether the political censorship on YouTube platform has connections with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The political censorship has increased on Youtube amid the filtering of the Chinese word “Gong Fei” on the platform 2/3
On 13 May, many Chinese-spaking YouTube users found that any comments they left in any YouTube video’s comment section that contains the phrase “gongfei” will be removed by the platform--soon it was confirmed by many other YouTube users. According to the video provided by one of the YouTube users, the comment “gongfei” initially can be displayed in the comment section, but it disappeared only seconds later when the user refreshed the page. The user tried for three consecutive times, and found that comments with “gongfei” would be filtered within 15 seconds after posting. The user believed that YouTube has some kind of algorithm that will censor “sensitive words”.
https://twitter.com/shijianxingzou/status/1260460855717777415
Such a way of censoring “sensitive words” is very secretive and hard to discovered as Internet users normally won’t come back and check whether their comment has been successfully posted as long as it has been initially displayed.
YouTube’s action soon caused great attention among the Chinese-speaking users and many of them condemned the censorship and expressed their anger and disappointment. Some users wondered if YouTube found a more capable AI expert than Li Feifei while some others said disappointedly that “Money can make anyone do anything”
User @DrplumberUS said that he posted the phrases “gongfei” and “meidi” (literally means “American Empire”) in the Youtube’s comment section for five times respectively and found “gongfei” was all automatically filtered by YouTube while “Meidi”, however, was successfully posted
User @Feng1990122 also commented that “I posted in the entertainment channels based in the US and it’s true. Looks like there is a Chinese Communist Party branch in Google.
User @sitaideng said:” Onshore US citizens shall sue Google and Youtube for cracking down on freedom of speech.”
@Jumplittlefox is calling internet users to express their disagreement on Google’s censorship because “if you remain silent today, there will be more ‘sensitive phrases’ on YouTube, and eventually the platform will become exactly the same as Chinese social media software. But I don’t think this will happen because the Westerners will soon realize the issue and fight back.”
@SZheng1967 pointed out that “the evil Communist Party is dominating the Western Media. Western people are making deals with the evil and are surrendering themselves to the Communist Party--such action has caused great concerns to the world. We are here to urge the shareholders to take good care of their enterprise’s managing board for the sake of our next generation and for the sake of the entire human race. If you guys keep making deals with evil, there will be greater disasters in the near future!”
And other Internet user said that by filtering the word “gongfei” and yet turn a blind eye to “meidi”--a phrase that commonly used by the Chinese army of trolls to criticize the US Government, it’s obvious that YouTube is pro-Chinese Communist Party when it comes to the censorship of the comments and they’re urging US Government to take precaution measures.

The political censorship has increased on Youtube amid the filtering of the Chinese word “Gong Fei” on the platform 3/3
As a matter of fact, YouTube is cracking down the videos related to COVID-19 since the outbreak commenced. A bunch of videos were labelled by YouTube platform “Not suitable for most advertisers” even if they were sharing the information of the pandemic and introducing the precautionary measures to prevent the virus from spreading.
It’s common sense that advertising revenue is one of the major source of income for YouTubers and if one video is labelled as “not suitable for most advertisers” with a yellow dollar sign, the video will not appear in the “recommended for you” tab and only a few adversaries (or none) will be able to insert their advertisements to the video. By doing so, YouTubers’ advertising revenue will be reduced significantly and there will be less people viewing their videos.
YouTube has caused great dissatisfaction among the YouTubers and it is criticized for cracking down on freedom of speech and performing censorship on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party, and many internet users have doubted that there are some dark deals behind the misuse of yellow dollar signs.
A bunch of internet users have started a petition on the “We the people” site, requesting the platform to explain the relationship between the yellow dollar sign and the filtering “sensitive phrases”, and they are expecting the White House to investigate YouTube’s misconduct. The petition started on 21 Feb and more than 100,000 people signed the petition to show their support within a month.

Blossom Everywhere: Organiser of June 4 Vigil Calls on Citizens to Carry-on “Candle-lit” Tradition
Locking down a venue cannot lock down the hearts of Hong Kong citizens. Under the pretext of “Social distance and gathering ban”, HK Government banned, for the first-time in 31 years, the Victoria Park 64 vigil held annually in remembrance of the victims of Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989.
The Hong Kong Alliance, in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China called on the public to uphold the “candle-lit” tradition, letting the flame of remembrance blossom everywhere in Hong Kong so that the next generation will carry on seeking vindication of the movement.
The Hong Kong Catholic Community Federation of Support for the Patriotic and Democratic Movement of China (HKPF) also decided for the first time to hold a Mass in 7 churches in Hong Kong to pay tribute to the victims of June 4 Massacre and to pray for the people fighting for democracy.
Asked whether members would be afraid to attend the Mass, concerning introduction of the National Security Law, Chan Lok-shun recognised that some might be worried about political repression, but he also believes that many would hold on to the values they believe. Chan emphasised that the Church always pray for political stability, world peace and human rights, and he hoped to carry out “as much as they can.”

Auxiliary Police Director States in Interview that HKPF Acted Rationally and Reasonably, Unlike US Police Officers
During the entirety of the Anti-ELAB Movement, police law enforcement has been repeatedly controversial. Auxiliary Police Director Edgar Yeung accepted Hong Kong 01's Interview earlier this year, which was published today. In the interview, Yeung said that in the face of the anti-ELAB movement's student-dominated clashes, that "I think the United States officers would've fired guns, but in Hong Kong we only shoot you with warm water!" He also defended the two police officers who left Yuen Long Station on 7.21, pointing out that the two police officers could not handle the situation at the time. "Who were they supposed to shoot? The sky? What if the whole band rushes them after they empty their cylinders?"
Yeung’s current position is the Chief Marketing Officer of Sun Hung Kai Properties and has served as an auxiliary police for more than 30 years.

Chinese reaction to SpaceX launch, "Way to go, my motherland!"
SpaceX, an American space technology and exploration company, recently launched a manned rocket. The live broadcast of the launch on China’s CCTV attracted some strange online comments from Chinese netizens, including, "what a glorious motherland!" Other netizens responded, "your motherland is the United States?"
Observers suspected CCTV's live online comments were all from robots. One commented "this kind of robots for comments and likes are very cheap, they are less expensive than manual labor. But the machine is not smart enough."
