Doxxing on the Organiser of
Cambridge University Protest

(17 Nov) Studentsā€™ organisation at the University of #Cambridge organised a rally on Saturday at 2 pm. The objective for the rally was to demand the university to strip Carrie Lamā€™s, Hong Kong Chief Executive, honorary fellowship. Hundreds of students rallied to the Senate House, then to the Wolfson College, where Lam once studied in. Demonstrators shouted slogans such as ā€œFive demands, not one lessā€ and condemned police brutality.

The rally drew the attention of pro-Beijing people in the UK. They mobilised to go to Cambridge to counter-protest. These people waved the national flag of the Peopleā€™s Republic of China and shouted ā€œNo maskā€ to the demonstrators. The demonstrators responded ā€œbanā€. The whole sentence thus became ā€œno mask banā€.

Several students who planned the rally received threats. Chow, a third-year student who is studying Law at the University of Cambridge, said that his personal information such as email address was uploaded to mainlandā€™s forum. His email was used for different subscriptions, resulted in hundreds of junk emails within one day. He also received threats. For example, someone called for Chinese netizens to ā€œsend their regardsā€. He once received an email with sentences like ā€œyour mother is dead.ā€

Huawei gets go ahead for US$1.2bn UK centre


//Huawei said Thursday it will invest US$1.2 billion in a chip research and manufacturing centre in Britain that has been strongly opposed by the United States... it received planning permission in Cambridge, eastern England, to erect a 50,000 square metre compound over 3.6 hectares.

//The announcement comes in the middle of a UK government review of its contested decision to plug the firm's technology into Britain's speedy 5G data network.

//British security agencies are more worried that some of Huawei's equipment has vulnerabilities that could be potentially exploited by nefarious state actors and hackers.

//The firm said its new centre in central England would not manufacture anything liable to US sanctions.It said the project would create 400 local jobs ā€“ a promise that the local planning authority took into account when it gave Huawei the formal go-ahead.

Carrie Lam withdraws her title of Honorary fellow awarded by Wolfson College, Cambridge

Wolfson College, University of Cambridge released a statement last month considering to deprive the Honorary Fellow of Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. According to the register of Executive Council membersā€™ interests, Carrie Lam has already removed her Honorary Follow awarded by Wolfson College, Cambridge.

Carrie Lam shared a post on Facebook, acknowledging a letter issued by the college requesting her reply in the accusation of deviating the principle of academic freedom and speech freedom. She has sent a letter to retort. However, she felt extremely disappointed as the College has slandered her on the ground of rumour, but not facts. Therefore, she decided to withdraw the title of Honorary Fellow.

How China bought Cambridge

One of the first places Professor Stephen Toope visited as Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University was the Chinese embassy in London. He posed for photographs with ambassador Liu Xiaoming and the two men discussed furthering the ā€˜golden eraā€™ of China-UK relations. Shortly after that 2017 meeting, Toope told Xinhua, Chinaā€™s state news agency: ā€˜There will be more opportunities to engage actively with China, a country with an extraordinarily growing influence which a university like Cambridge must pay attention to.ā€™

#Hongkongers across #UK pay tribute to #PoliceBrutality victims in #AntiELAB movement

On August 31, 2021, many HongKongers around UK assembled in #remembrance of the #831PrinceEdwardAttack, one of the most widely remembered incidents of police brutality during the 2019 Anti-ELAB movement.

In #Cambridge, around 100 Hongkongers gathered at Parkerā€™s Piece to pledge their continued support for the democratic movement in Hong Kong. At the end of the gathering, a young boy played the protest song ā€œGlory to Hong Kongā€, which resonated well with the crowd.

In #Edinburgh, a small street-side exhibition of protest art was on display. Organizers also set up a small Lennon wall, and many Hongkongers left notes to express their suppressed feelings.

The "Liberate Hong Kong; Revolution of our Times" protest flag also flew at gatherings in #Reading and #Bristol, where Hongkongers assembled to pray, and find support and solidarity in each other.

The CCP training programme at the heart of Cambridge

Use the past to serve the present,ā€™ declares the website of the China Centre of Jesus College, Cambridge. It seems a sensible motto, until you know that itā€™s the first half of a maxim of Chairman Maoā€™s, and that the second half is ā€˜make the foreign serve Chinaā€™.

The China Centre is directed by Professor Peter Nolan, a fellow of Jesus and an expert on Chinaā€™s economy. In the 1980s, he studied Chinaā€™s collective farms and edited a volume that referred to itself as ā€˜a preliminary attempt to construct a new socialist political-economic strategy for Britainā€™.
