8 Netizens Accused for Rumour Mongering Unpunished by the Ministry of Public Security
Eight netizens from mainland China were being accused for rumour mongering after spreading false news on Wuhan coronavirus. The response of the Wuhan police was that these people were educated and criticised by the law afterwards, but no further punishment was imposed. After the National Health Department notified the public about the pneumonia on 31 Dec 2019, somebody reported that there were people spreading false information on the internet. The Ministry of Public Security investigated and verified the eight suspects in succession. After investigation, these people were revealed to have shared and forwarded unverified messages, which contained rumours of the hospital having multiple confirmed cases of SARS.
However, due of the mild severity of this crime, the accused were not given warnings, neither were they detained or slapped with a fine.
Wuhan police said that the eight of them were arrested on the 1st January 2020.

How reliable are Chinese statistics?
Chinese spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yuan Mu said thirty years ago: Nobody died in Tiannamen square.
Western politicians nowadays have seen 'Tienanmen statistics' when they were growing up. For those who still believes it are either naive and ignorant or eager for Chinese money, which both are the worst of humanity. Fortunately, these crowds are limited to Western politicians, scholars and bankers, who spent their honeymoon with China for the last 20 years. Folks in Germany and Switzerland are behaving as they are supposed to, yet they're still being tricked by their politicians.
Jacky Chan once said: TVs made in China explode. Masks made in China are now returned without exception. With the benefit of hindsight, Chan was indeed a true intellectual. With globalisation and the Chinese pandemic, countries began a quality race to the bottom. And this bat and mouse eating civilization dreaded by Lu Xun is way ahead the rest of the pack.

How 'Election' is Held in China with Communist Chinese Characteristics
It is understood that the National People ās Congress voted for the election of the President of the State, the Chairman of the Military Commission, and the Chairman of the National People ās Congress.
Those who voted in favor did not need to write anything on the ballot paper and only had to directly put the ballot into the ballot box. Those against it however, had to walk over to the "secret ballot area", fill the box with a special pen after the candidate's name.
Therefore, it is obvious that the representative who went to the writing area of āāthe voting area is casting a negative vote.

China's Adaptation of āHikaru no Goā Causes Controversy with Hong Kong's Handover Storyline
Hikaru no Go, a popular Japanese manga, was adapted into a live-action series by a Chinese film company, and has premiered recently.
The storyline was rewritten to be set in the 1997 Handover of Hong Kong, and the protagonist was portrayed to feel excited for the handover. However, these changes stirred up some controversy.
In an interview, Chinese director Liu Chang claimed that Hong Kongās handover to China was āa collective memory of every Chineseā, and he chose this as the setting of the drama.
In addition to Hong Kong and Taiwanese netizens, many Chinese criticized the makeup of the character āZhu- yingā (āSaiā in the original series) as "horrifying".
The director admitted that about 20% of the screen time was āa bit awfulā, but it could not be helped due to technological limitations.
The adapted series was produced by iQIYI and broadcast online. In the first episode, the protagonist Shi-guang (āHikaruā, originally) was out at night with Zhu-ying when they came across a TV news report about Hong Kongās Handover to China, which said that āHong Kong finally returned to her motherland after a century of hardshipsā.
Shi-guang was overwhelmed with fascination, and Zhu-ying asked āwhat kind of occasion is today?ā. Shi-guang said it was āa special day when every Chinese should rejoice."
In addition to mentioning the Handover, the story's setting was also changed entirely to take place in China, despite being a Japanese anime originally.
Viewers had polarized opinions to the adaptation. Some said the drama was āneither fish nor fowlā, and āruining my childhood memoriesā. Some Chinese netizens, complimented it, however, and said the āproduction team did a great job in recreating the settingā, and that āusing the 1997 Hanover as the background made me satisfied as a fan to the original manga series and as a Chineseā.
Hong Kong netizens, on the other hand, suspected that the series ātook a franchise cherished by a whole generation and used it as propaganda to the youngsters.ā
On top of a āSinicizedā plot, another controversy of the live remake was Zhu-yingās heavy makeup and horrifying appearance.
========
Director: Handover could Strengthen Charactersā āEmotional Underpaintingā
In response to these criticisms, Director Liu Chang gave an explanation in an interview with a Chinese media. He said that it was difficult to adapt a Japanese manga into a web drama, and thus he created a remake in his own way, localising certain parts of the plot while keeping the original storyline, popular lines and character relations.
He believed that his adaptation was more than 60% similar to the original.
As to the choice of the Handover as the period setting, Liu stated 3 reasons. First, āthe story started with online Go, which is only possible when the Internet was a new technology in Chinaā, which placed the time period around 1997.
Next, he called Hong Kong's Handover to China as āa collective memory to all Chineseā. He believed that this setting could impress the audience.
Last, Liu claimed that the Handover could strengthen the āemotional underpaintingā of the characters, āmaking it more dramaticā.

Hong Kong Police Force Allegedly Plagiarizes Popular Japanese Anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"
Katsunobu Kato, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan met the press on Nov 17, 2020 and was asked to comment on a Facebook post by the Hong Kong Police Force which was accused of plagiarising the Japanese anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".
Kato stated that he wouldn't comment on the particular case but emphasised that Japan values the copyrights of animated works and will investigate any suspected plagiarism.
Earlier this month, the Hong Kong Police Force created an animated character to promote "fraud prevention". The character was named "Grape-jiro" and had similar appearance to the main character "Tanjiro" from the anime.
The Hong Kong police named their post as "13th form of Antifraud Breathing - Don't be greedy for cheap things", which was clearly plagiarising the expression used in the original anime.
After the claims of plagiarism were made, the Police Public Relation Branch (#PPRB) responded to Apple Daily's inquiry, claiming that the post did not plagiarise from any external source, and stated the character was created using the theme "grape".
The incident was quickly noticed by the Japanese media and TBS also reported the incident on the news. Many netizens critisized the act of plagiarism and claimed that "China lacks the idea of copyright".
[Editor's note:
"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is a manga created by Koyoharu GotÅge. The anime film "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train" is Japan's highest grossing film in 2020.
As the Hong Kong police allegedly committed plagiarism in November 2020, it was also when the film was released in Hong Kong.]
