Seems like the Hong Kong Government is suggesting something here... Are they trying to incite secession?

Police Deny Turning Pro-dem Lawmaker from "plaintiff to defendant" Even after Arresting Him, Police: 7.21 Yuen Long Attack is Not Police-Triad Collusion

Police arrested 16 citizens including pro-democracy lawmakers Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui on Aug 26, 2020.

In a police press conference on the same day, the police was asked by the journalists under what ground Lam, who is a victim of gangster attack in Yuen Long on 21 July, 2019, is charged with rioting on the day of the event.

The police evaded the question and claimed that "indiscriminate attack" is an "untruthful" description of the Yuen Long 7.21 Attack. Moreover, the police changed their earlier statement of having arrived 39 minutes late in Yuen Long. The police now claimed the time they took to arrive was "18 minutes".

The police also rejected the accusation of police-triad collusion on that day where the police allegedly turned a blind eye to the violent assaults inflicted by the white-clad gangsters on civilians and pro-democracy protesters.

The police was asked to explain a photo that captured a police officer tabbing a white-clad person on the shoulder but without stopping and searching the two men carrying long metal rods. The police said it was not a sign of collusion, but without providing further explanation. The police spokesperson also became agitated during the press conference, emphasizing "no matter what colour you are wearing, we will look into you!".

The police also questioned the journalists for "not knowing what happened in Yuen Long on 21 July 2019" and insisted that they did not turn Lam from "plaintiff to defendant". At around 1608, the police spokesperson left when journalists were still asking questions.

Republic of China Debts Recalled as US Senator Introduces Resolution Demanding China to Repay USD$1.6 Trillion Debt

US Republican Senator Martha McSally put forward a resolution on Thursday demanding China to repay its sovereign debt of more than USD$1.6 trillion (around HKD$12.5 trillion), interests included, to US bondholders.

McSally said, “China has repeatedly failed to honor its obligations to America, taking American families’ money and jobs… We are holding China accountable for its debt and for unleashing the coronavirus on the world. We demand China pay back the $1.6 trillion it owes to American families.”

The bonds were issued in 1912 by the Republic of China, which subsequently migrated to Taiwan. The People’s Republic of China established its sovereignty in 1949 and insists that Taiwan is part of China. According to international law, a successor state is responsible for the debts of its predecessor.

China defends legal detention of Uighur model in Xinjiang in the video published by BBC

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) released a video that Merdan Ghappar, a 31-year-old Uighur model, was detained in a Chinese detention camp and handcuffed to a bed earlier this month. More than two weeks later, Chinese officials responded to the BBC that Mr. Ghappar was “lawfully detained”.

The BBC quoted a statement written by the Xinjiang government that according to Article 37 of the Prison Law of the People's Republic of China, the people’s government shall assist released prisoners to settle. The statement explained that Mr. Ghappar had committed self-harm and “excessive acts against the police” during the transfer. Therefore, law enforcement officials took legal measures to stop him and lifted those measures after he stabilised emotionally. The statement mentioned Mr. Ghappar resisted epidemic prevention staff when they tried to check his body temperature, verbally insulted them and attacked them. Due to these illegal behaviours, the police had taken forcible measures and the case remained in process. However, the statement did not respond to the allegations in Mr. Ghappar’s film about the unsanitary conditions of the detention camp and the beatings. Relevant statement cannot be found.

Experienced educators leaving HK due to the city's sliding situation

The Principal of the Australian International School Hong Kong, Mark Hemphill, resigned due to the challenges of seeing his family in Australia amid the pandemic.

With the shrink of academic freedom, teachers in Hong Kong are facing the greatest challenge ever. There had been a program of embedding mainland teachers in schools, textbook publishers have deleted politically sensitive materials, and some schools' sponsoring bodies have been terrified of upsetting the Hong Kong government and Beijing.

International school teachers said they were torn between the ongoing political strife in Hong Kong, curbs on freedom of speech and golden handcuffs that have locked them into contracts.

The crackdown on pro-democracy movement in HongKong, driven by national security laws imposed by Beijing, comes on top of the coronavirus pandemic. It has already struck hard on Hong Kong's education system.

Soon after that, a self-proclaimed police officer arrived and prevented the youngster from leaving without showing his warrant card. Then, several more uniformed police officers arrived and took the youngster to the police station for investigation.

Tsuen Wan District Councilor Jackson Lau had rushed to the police station with a lawyer to aid the youngster.

Hong Kong Police Whitewash Yuen Long 7.21 White-Clad Gangster Attack

On August 26, 2020, the Hong Kong police tried to rewrite the
Yuen Long 7.21 White-Clad Gangster Attack into a "clash between two camps of similar force, where the white-clad people were being provoked first". Police denied the collusion between the Triad and themselves and changed their earlier record of their absence from 39 minutes to 18 minutes, claiming the statement they made in 2019 was "inaccurate".

Let's look at what have been documented in photos, videos, reporters and civilians' testimonies regarding the happenings in Yuen Long on 21 July, 2019, as we know it:
