A Transnational Poll Showed The Unfavorable Views of China Reached a 10-Year High in Many Countries
The latest poll from the US polling agency Pew Research Center found that citizens of many advanced countries had a record high level of negative perceptions of China and believed that China was handling the pandemic poorly.
People's perception of China became negative gradually in recent years for various reasons. Since the global outbreak of Wuhan Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), relations between many countries and China have deteriorated significantly last year. The Pew Research Center interviewed about 14,700 people by telephone between June 10 and August 3 from 14 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Germany, France, and Australia. It was found that the perception of China in most of the countries interviewed had dropped significantly.

Canada begins granting asylum to Hong Kong protesters: Canadian press
The suppression of human rights under Hong Kong's national security law has drawn the concern of the international community. In tow with the UK and Australia, the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail indicated its country has also begun accepting Hong Kong pro-democracy activists claiming refugee status to seek asylum.
The Globe and Mail reported that in a letter dated 1 Sept, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada notified a couple in their 30s that the refugee protection division considered them to be "Convention refugees" and accepted their claims for asylum.
As defined by the United Nations, a "Convention refugee" is a person who cannot return to their home country due to a fear of persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, etc.

Huawei has 'Clear evidence of collusion' with Chinese Communist Party, claimed MPs
The House of Defense committee concluded that Huawei is strongly linked to the Chinese state and the Chinese Communist Party.
The report cited a venture capitalist, the Chinese government "had financed the growth of Huawei with some $75bn [£57bn] over the past three years". Thus, Huawei could sell its hardware at a "ridiculously low price point".
It highlighted a claim made by a researcher who alleged that Huawei had "engaged in a variety of intelligence, security, and intellectual property activities" despite its repeated denials.
The report warned that the West should not "succumb to ill-informed anti-China hysteria", but suggested some policy changes may be necessary.

Unhygienic Meals, Windowless Cell, Surveillance Cameras in Bathroom: Chinese Authorities Jail Granny Wong Without Any Clear Charge or Trial
Granny Wong recalled that she was admitted to the hospital in Hong Kong after the police pushed her to the ground in Taikoo subway station.on Aug 11, 2019. She was hospitalized for 2 days and was arrested when she crossed the border on Aug 14.
In China, Granny Wong was interrogated by officers from Chinese National Security Bureau and different units for her participation in Hong Kong protests. They showed her protests photos and demanded her to tell whom she went protest with.
The Chinese authorities intimidated her that she "might have committed very serious crime". They searched her flat and detained her in Futien Dentention Center under a 15-day "administrative detention".
Wong was ordered to sign a document saying the she would not appeal. Wong overheard the Chinese police interrogating another person about protests in Hong Kong, but it was uncertain that the person is a Hongkonger or a Chinese.
After the 15-day "administrative detention" ended on August 30, 2019, Wong was, however, not released but transferred to Shenzhen No.3 Detention Center for further detention.
Wong shared a windowless cell of around 100 sq. meters with 15 other inmates. The only windows are located in the bathroom, which is equipped with at least two surveillance cameras. Wong worried that the female inmates are filmed during their showers. Wong said the food served to the inmates included buns, slightly burnt congee and unhygienic, low quality meat .
During the detention, Wong still was not informed of the charges against her. She had requested relevant information including a photocopy of the official document, but was severely reprimanded by the Chinese officers.
She was "released on bail while awaiting trial" on 29 September 2019. She was told by the police station near her place that she was charged of "causing disturbances". One of the bail conditions is that she was bar from leaving Shenzhen for a year.

Thai Pro-democracy Protests Demand Reform in Monarchy
Between Oct 13 and Oct 17, 2020, Thai police arrested at least 65 pro-democracy protesters including 9 key figures. On Oct 16, Thai police deployed water cannon with chemicals at civilians.
The three-fingered salute, inspired by Hunger Games, has been a sign used by Thai pro-democracy activists. Having gestured the hand sign at a car carrying royal members including the Queen, two student activists Bunkueanun "Francis" Paothong and Ekachai Hongkangwan were arrested on Oct 16 and could face up to a life sentence. Pro-democracy civilians have been calling for reforms to the monarchy.
Despite this, the public were not deterred and called for rallies at nearby BTS or MRT stations in Bankok on Saturday Oct 17. Although the authorities suspended the public transportation services, civilians, some wearing protective gears like helmets, walked to the assembly places. 23,000 people were estimated on Sarurday's rallies. The police did not interfere and the protesters left peacefully.

Assembly in New York on Oct 1, Urging Countries to Establish Multilateral Alliance to Hold the CCP Accountable
Over 200 non-governmental organisations (NGO) jointly initiated a rally named "Resist China: A Global Day of Action" in more than 60 cities around the world on October 1, "celebrating" the China National day. Participants include Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hongkongers, Taiwanese, Southern-Mongolians, and even Chinese. Dorjee Tseten, the General Director of Student for a Free Tibet, one of the organisations initiating the event, said that people around the world should stand together to fight against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The purpose of the event was to urge the European Union (EU) and other governments establishing a multilateral alliance, to hold the CCP accountable with tougher policies. "Xi-Jinping's policies are speeding up the end of the regime. The fall of the CCP is near", he believed.
Dorjee said, "Western democratic countries made China becoming a beast it is today. We have to clear about this, that CCP is a threat to global security.” He pointed out that in the past, western countries only focused on benefit, neglecting all China inhumane tyranny in Xinjiang and Tibet. "Have they (western countries) awaken yet? Yes, they have. But do we satisfy? No, we do not. We need stronger action."
He thinks governments from all over the world should implement policies for the accountability of "business which make benefits from people who suffer”, and organisations in civil societies should reveal these issues to their governments as well as the people. He gave an example that Apple Inc. had been blocking virtual private network (VPN) functions for the Chinese government and removing mobile application used by Hong Kong protesters from its shelves, before it launched its first human rights policy in September after prolonged lobbying by civil society groups. He argued that consumers should also raise their awareness, "when everyone buy Chinese products with a low-price in the western countries, they have to know where these products come from, often from oppressive regimes such as in Tibet.

TikTok is Banned in Pakistan, Referring to Unfiltered “Immoral” Content
Pakistan telecommunication regulator announced the ban on the use of TikTok, a video-sharing social media application under a Chinese technology company ByteDance, as the regulator received numerous complaints on immoral and inappropriate content.
Pakistan telecommunication regulator stated that TikTok could file a complaint and they would review the ban policy after removing unlawful contents.
Reuter quoted three senior Pakistan officials as saying on Friday (October 9) that the government decided to ban the social media application TikTok as the application was not able to remove “immoral” content. A senior official who directly involved in this decision said that they had requested TikTok to set up an effective system to hide immoral and inappropriate content for many times. However, the platform has failed to satisfy the Pakistan government. The government therefore decided to ban TikTok.
