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.

Cardinal Zen criticizes the lack of transparency over the Vatican’s handling of China: Cardinal Zen on China: ‘There is Nothing More to Do Other Than Prayer’
By National Catholic Register #2Oct2020
//Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun returned to Hong Kong from Rome Sunday, after seeking a meeting with Pope Francis.
The purpose for the trip, he told the Register, was primarily to advocate for the elevation and installation of a new bishop successor in a city facing ongoing protests and a strong-armed response from the Chinese Communist Party-backed regional government.
The 88-year old bishop emeritus of Hong Kong told the Register the visit is likely his last. “I do not believe I will return again,” he said. “My legs do not work so well, now, for these long trips.”
...He explained his anxiety that a bishop “who is trusted by the people” be installed as soon as possible, as the faithful in both Hong Kong and China grow increasingly wary of what is being seen as political posturing by the Vatican.
“The Vatican seems to be guessing the mind of Beijing — always seeking to anticipate what Beijing will do, always appeasing. It seems they are afraid to nominate Bishop Ha (Bishop Joseph Ha Chi-shing) as doing so may offend Beijing,” said the cardinal.
Bishop Joseph Ha Chi-shing is a current auxiliary bishop of the diocese. He has publicly supported human rights protesters in Hong Kong and is thus perceived by some to be antagonistic to Beijing.
... Seeing the continued delay from the Vatican, the conflicts in Hong Kong and the continued persecution in China, the Register asked Cardinal Zen what the Western world could do to aid him.
“Nothing. I’ve done more than I can, and there is nothing more to do other than prayer,” said the cardinal. “If tomorrow, the Vatican chooses this bishop, blessed by Beijing — if they appoint this bad bishop for Hong Kong, my job is finished. I will choose to disappear.”
Continued Cardinal Zen, “My last act of protest will be to do just that, to now disappear with everyone knowing why. I put this in my last will and testament — that my bones shall not be placed in the cathedral, I do not want to be buried with such men. I will be buried in a simple cemetery with what remains of the faithful people of God.”//

Chinese Student Say "Chinese virus" Harms the World Peace, Professor Gets Suspended.
A Chinese international student at the University of Cincinnati says he was hurt when a professor on campus used the racist term "Chinese Virus" to describe COVID-19, and that it would give Chinese people a poor impression which would harm friendly exchanges and peace around the world.
China concealed the epidemic and eventually led to a global spread of the virus, with the United States leading the list of countries with the highest number of confirmed cases and deaths. An Engineering Professor at the University of Cincinnati, John Ucker, delivered an email to a student earlier, stating that He would not give a score to students who are diagnosed with the "Chinese virus". The student's classmate posted the screenshot of the email on Twitter with 34,000 retweets and 166,000 likes. Comments on the post were polarized - calls for the school to take action on Ucker, and showing support for the use of the wording in question.

Pompeo Said China Has the Most Suppressed Religious Freedom
During the visit to Rome, the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the seriousness of religious freedom suppression in China today was not comparable to other places. He also called on the Vatican to join the United States in condemning China's violation of religious freedom.
During a symposium at the U.S. Embassy in the Vatican, Pompeo said the Chinese Communist Party desired to eliminate the lamp of freedom on a horrifying scale. The suppression of every religious group in China included Protestantism family-churches, Tibetan Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners, and Catholics.
The Vatican's Secretary for Relations with States Paul Gallagher attended the conference but did not mention China in his speech. He criticised some western people for advocating gender ideology and violating religious freedom.

蓬佩奧指無一地方打壓宗教自由比今日中國更嚴重
正在羅馬訪問的美國國務卿蓬佩奧表示，無一個地方打壓宗教自由，比今日中國的現況更嚴重，呼籲梵蒂岡與美國一同譴責中國侵犯宗教自由的行為。 蓬佩奧在美國駐梵蒂岡大使館舉辦的座談會上，指中共期望以驚人的規模撲滅自由之燈，打壓中國每個宗教團體，新教家庭教堂、藏傳佛教徒、法輪功奉獻者等，天主教徒亦不能倖免。 出席會議的梵蒂岡外長加拉格爾發言時，未有提及中國，只是批評西方有人鼓吹性別意識形態，侵犯宗教自由。 教廷為準備延續中梵主教任命協議辯護，強調協議不涉及政治或外交。加拉格爾強調，教廷在所有外交活動中，都強調對話及相互尊重的重要性。…
