Did or Didn't HK Police involved in the arrest of the 12 Hong Kong Youth en route to Taiwan?
October 8
Joshua Wong revealed a list Government Flying Services (GFS) officers alledgedly involved in the operation on his Facebook. He cited Apple Daily's report of a flight tracking record showing that the GFS fixed-wing aircrafts were marked with “Police Operations” (P-OPS).
The aircrafts took off from Hong Kong International Airport at 4.19 am on August 23.
Apparently, the police not only knew the route of the speed boat carrying the 12 Hong Kong youths, but also took action to watch them in the air. Wong slammed that the Police could no longer deny their role in this incident.
Besides, since local media revealed the involvement of the Government Flying Services in tracking the speedboat of 12 escaping youths, all contact information of the Operation Unit of GFS has been erased from the Government Directory.

Xinhua News criticised forced closure of Confucius Institutes as political persecution
(28 Sep) Xinhua News Agency published a commentary stating that forced closure of Confucius Institutes was a form of political persecution. The article indicated that anti-China politicians from the US were unable to see the good in others and were intolerant of other cultures. Wielding their big stick [policy] of political oppression against Confucius Institutes that promote Chinese culture, it lambasted, was "isolationist rhetoric" possessed by "McCarthyism". There was no cure to pursuing political self-interest in lieu of virtue and suppressive paranoid delusions.
The article also pointed out that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent threat to shut down all Confucius Institutes in higher education institutions by the end of this year constituted further defamation and suppression. It stated that Confucius Institutes adopted a collaborative method of operations; it was the US universities that voluntarily applied for their establishment according to their own needs, based on "mutual respect, friendly negotiation and mutual benefit". Its operations and management were open and transparent, [it claimed,] strictly complying with local laws and university administration standards. Statistics show that the US currently has 81 Confucius Institutes.

After Hong Kong: China sets sights on solving “the Taiwan problem”
Tian Feilong, a professor from Beijing, said that National Security Law was not just about ending a year of protests in Hong Kong, it also sent a warning to Taipei and Washington.
Ho-fung Hung, professor of political economy at Johns Hopkins University, does not think an invasion of Taiwan is imminent, but says Hong Kong’ security law sent a very clear message about China’s long-term plans. “It will be a kind of a warning to Taiwan: Don’t think that Beijing would not take military action. Don’t think that we will fear international reaction.”
Chair of Taiwan’s foreign affairs and defense committee, Wang Ting-yu said, “Hong Kong is a mirror of our future if Taiwan becomes part of China.” He stated that the Taiwanese military could hold off the PLA despite some major gaps in its underwater and missile capabilities.

Letters from dissidents and exiles to Hongkongers, to express solidarity and hope for the future.
Press freedom, totalitarianism and the alikeness between Hong Kong and mainland China are drawing more attention. People shared their experiences and fear, hoping that Hongkongers will defend their right and earn victory. Together, we stand strong. We support each other amidst the darkest years in our life. Read their words and regain your hope.
I never thought my first time abroad would be as an exile (because she visited the protest in HK). - a Shenzhen resident now overseas
The police have revised rules about who constitutes the media. It is the same control over press cards as in China. Soon the arrests of Hong Kong activists will be the same as those on the mainland – Liu Xiaobo, Ilham Tohti and Ren Zhiqiang. They will disappear without a mention in the news. - Chinese writer and journalist
Although eggs are weak they have within them life. There will be a day when we use our blood, youth and life to push down that wall. I believe the final victory belongs to us. – Hua Yong, 51, a Chinese artist in exile in Thailand

BBC reporter is stalked in HK for reasons unknown
Since implementation of the National Security Law in July this year, a number of pro-democratic figures were reportedly being stalked and watched. Now even foreign media correspondents in Hong Kong are being followed.
A BBC reporter, Danny Vincent, revealed in the podcast From Our Own Correspondent that he was stalked by several unknown persons during his stay in Hong Kong. The same car was sighted following him to various locations and, later his hotel even after he changed his routine.
Vincent expressed that only when he worked in China, the Mainland National Security officers would obstruct journalistic work. However, in Hong Kong, he said, “apparently, new rules of the game” has been imposed, which could be an attempt at both intimidation or investigation.

Medical Professor and SARS Expert Joseph Sung: Giving up on Hong Kong's younger generation means losing faith in future
At the start of the pro-democracy movement in 2019, the Hong Kong government, and business sector have been ignoring the youngsters' demands. Annie Wu, daughter of Maxim's Catering's founder, said that she had lost all hope in them, causing the pro-democracy fraction to boycott the company and its chains.
In a radio show recently, Joseph Sung, former professor and ex-Vice-Chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) disagreed that one should give up and lose hope on the younger generation.
During the show, Sung said that he understood the frustrations of the younger generation, but they should not lose hope just because they are unable to own homes. He suggested that if one cannot get married and have kids, they could perhaps work overseas for a few years and contribute to the society when they are back. He also said that the younger generation is very creative and energetic, and that people should not write them off. He said that giving up on the younger generation means losing faith in the future, and urged the different generstions to listen to each other.
