At Least 6000 Citizens Outside Detention Center to Support Arrested Protesters; Letter from the Arrested Moved the Public
During the rally in front of Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre on December 20, one district council member-elect read out a letter from a group of arrested protesters.
Some of the arrested are currently out on bail, while some still being detained. The letter mentions how the arrested would sit by the iron-barred windows helplessly, worrying about the bleak future, their burdened families and friends. It is to be noted that the number of arrested protesters rose to over 6000 at the moment. The "white terror" they experience each day is simply unimaginable to outsiders. Therefore, they would like to convey 3 important messages to Hongkongers.
1. Apply and participate in juries proactively.
2. Each person send a letter to Chief Secretary Cheung Kin-chung, demanding for the establishment of a sunset clause to reduce the sentences of the arrested.
3. Persist in the 5 demands while monitoring the government closely.
Even though the slight victories gained in the recent district council election and the passing of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act in the U.S. had brought a taste of sweetness in their bitter detainment, the road is still long. That is the reason for the arrested to stay strong and charge on.
Lastly, the letter cites a famous quote from the movie Rocky, “It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward! That’s how winning is done!”
After reading the letter, the district council member-elect urges everyone to take part in their own neighbourhood to help create a better society.
“If you think the current situation in Hong Kong is unjust, please do not wish for some hero to step up for you. You can be the heroes! Whether you are resisting against the unjust system or supporting our brothers and sisters detained in the building behind us, do what you can in your own ideas, resources and methods! Keep fighting together in this movement!”
The district council member-elect calls for citizens to participate in district council meetings to bring their concerns in discussions as issues related to the movement would be brought up starting from this coming January.

The People's Liberation Army suspected to refuse the landing of a malfunctioning jet in Hong Kong
Xi Jinping visited Macau for three consecutive days. The whole city was beleaguered and heavily-guarded as if she was under the "martial law".
Apple Daily received news that a private jet flying from Japan to Indonesia on December 18 had encountered malfunction while passing by the airspace of Hong Kong. A priority landing request was sent to Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Department but was rejected.
After circling for around 30 minures, it had to change the landing airport to the Philippines.
It was understood that the landing request was rejected by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). The private jet was to maintain a decent distance of 100 kilometers from Macao. During circling, the PLA sent two military planes to intercept it, spranging up dangers all around. Civil Aviation Department also acknowledged that there was an aircraft requested to land in Hong Kong which later had to land in the Philippines. The Department did not explain further for the exact reason. Meanwhile, the People's Liberation Army stationed in Hong Kong did not respond to this inquiry.

Hongkongers in New York Protest Outside HSBC Headquarters, Condemning the Bank's Aid in Political Persecution
A group of Hongkongers in the United States protested in front of the #HSBC US headquarters on Dec 20, 2020 despite the cold weather.
The participating citizens criticised HSBC for freezing the accounts of pro-democracy dissidents in Hong Kong as requested by the Hong Kong government and Hong Kong Police Force. It was worried that with the assistance of financial institutions, the basic rights of Hongkongers will be further infringed.
The protest was organised by two groups #Lausan and #LionRockCafe. The New York Committee for Human Rights in Philippines also sent a representative to give a speech.Former Secretary General of the Hong Kong Federation of Students Alex Chow showed up for support.
The protest brought attentionto the accounts of former lawmaker Ted Hui and his family, the Good Neighbour North District Church, its head pastor Chan Hoi-hing and his wife.
Lausan spokesperson suggested that HSBC participated in the political persecution in Hong Kong, and this action not only helped the Hong Kong government to retaliate at pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong; freezing the church’s bank account also directly affected the church’s service to help those in need.

Hong Kong's descent into darkness
Tiananmen without the massacre
Each week brings new reports of reprisals against activists. In December 2020, three twenties activists, Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow and Ivan Lam started prison terms for taking part in nonviolent acts of civil disobedience. Ted Hui, a moderate member of the pro-democracy camp was driven into exile. The gadfly journalist Jimmy Lai is being held without bail ahead of an April trial date. All of which adds up to Hong Kong having experienced its own version of the post-Tiananmen crackdown.
After new National Security Law imposed by Beijing, singing "Glory to Hong Kong" is to risk arrest since Beijing sees it as potential evidence of subversive "separatist" tendencies.
There is a feeling in Hong Kong that changes for the worse are coming so fast that the overall experience is disorienting as well as distressing

US said that the Navy should Combat China and Russia more Decisively as China has the Most Oppressive Threats to the US
A report from the US Department of Defense says that China and Russia are the “rivalry" of the US. The report also suggests that the US Navy combat China and Russia with a “more decisive stance” as China has adopted the “most pressing” approach, which strategically threatens the US.
Heads of the US Marines Corps, Navy and Coastal Guard warn in the report that “the rules of the international order has been attacked again”. The report describes that China and Russia are rivalries of the US as the safety environment has been changing drastically since 2015, especially when China posed a “most pressing long term strategical threat”.
The report further stated China as the US competitor in economic and military potential, causing “long term and holistic challenge to the US”. “China refuses to use a conventional logistic hub, restricts marine freedom, controls the use of key location, impedes US interventions of regional disputes, and replaces the US as the primary choice of marine partner in the globe.”

Macau and Hong Kong different paths to China. Why?
While Hong Kong seems to have resisted Beijing’s tightening control, Macau has embraced one country, two systems rule.
A tiny former Portuguese colony, Macau, has marked 21 years since its return to China.
It was agreed in 1999 the territory would be governed under the Chinese “one country, two systems” rule, as is the case with Hong Kong.

"Patriots-Only" #LegCoElection Causes Lowest Turnout in Hong Kong History: 3.12 Million Hongkongers Cast #NoVote
The Legistlative Council (LegCo) election ended at 10:33pm on December 19, 2021. The turnout in the geographical constituency, the only part of the Council that is generated by direct election, was recorded 29.28% at 9:30pm. At 3:30am in Hong Kong, the government announced that the turnout is 30.2%, which is the lowest in Hong Kong history. According to the government statistic, over 17,000 ballots came from three polling stations set up in the border between Hong Kong and China.
Among 4.37 millions of registered voters, 3.12 million Hongkongers did not cast any vote in the "patriots-only" election in 2021, and only around 1.3 million did. Some citizens who voted said they have never seen that the polling stations were such empty, especially when compared to the 2019 District Council Election, where the pro-democracy camp had a landslide victory. In 2021, there were no more young people using innovative ways to promote and support their candidates. Citizens who voted said voting is a civil responsibility but there was no choice in this election.
Even before the election closed, it was reported that Chief Executive #CarrieLam would go to Beijing the next day. It was unknown whether it was related to the election.
