Photos of Hong Kong Pro-democracy Movement Won Half of the Prizes from “Taiwan Press Photographer Competition 2020”
Prizewinning photographs from the “Taiwan Press Photographer Competition 2020” are displayed at the General Association of Chinese Culture (#GACC) from September 24, 2020 and onwards.
Almost half of 123 award-winning photographs are about the anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong, reflecting the extraordinary connections between Taiwan and Hong Kong.
With this exhibition, the organiser hopes that visitors can experience the five senses emitted from these photos and feel the concerns they have and the values they defend:
"Time passes, but the photographs capture the moment. The message can be sent to you via photos and stay in your mind. Please don’t forget that people have paid a high cost for freedom."

#PreferentialTradeTreatment
32 countries cancelled China’s preferential trade treatment
China will no longer be eligible for Gereralised System of Preferences (#GSP) trade benefits from 27 EU nations, the United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Ukraine, and Liechtenstein as of December 1, leaving the country with only three options: Norway, New Zealand, and Australia.
On October 28, the General Administration of Customs of the Communist Party of China (#GACC) issued the “Announcement on No longer issuing GSP certificates of origin for goods exported to EU member states, the United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Ukraine, Liechtenstein and other countries.”
Although the GACC louds the action as "an acknowledgement by other advanced economies, economists have predicted that labor-intensive enterprises will face the brunt of the change.
