Labour unions staying quiet under heightened political suppression — Tang Kin Aah from HK Confederation of Trade Unions: Trade union activism won’t take the old path but hope to organise network sharing the same faith

During the 2019 anti-extradition law movement in Hong Kong, numerous new trade unions were established.

Getting on the bandwagon, they hoped to win seats in the Labour functional constituency and Labour Advisory Board, breaking the tyranny of pro-establishment trade unions. Meanwhile, they aimed for a city-wide strike to attack the regime.

#Interview: The last faith of Hong Kong Journalist Bao Choy Yuk-ling - selfless and fearless

Before interviewing Choy Yuk-ling, some of my colleagues who knew her well said that Bao (her nickname in the journalism industry) would talk a lot about news but might not much about herself. 

After the interview I realised that she was not hiding herself intentionally. Instead she had just injected her passion, faith, and most of her time into journalism. Speaking of her days after the suspension of her duty, she said, “My vocation as a journalist cannot be separated from my personal values. If I can no longer be a journalist, I can imagine the value of my life will become zero.” To her, nothing is more worthy to talk about that journalism.

Pro-democracy #Hongkongers Make 2-Person March to GovHQ, Hoping to Fulfill "Under the Pot" Promise One Day

The HK Police has issued an notice against a march request from LSD and three other civic groups. As such, Ms. Hong and Ms. Wong started by themselves today at 2pm to march from Victoria Park, following the route from previous years. At around 5pm, they had arrived outside of Government HQ.

Ms. Hong pointed out that she had participated in the July 1st march for many years. "If they don't let us walk, then I'll walk myself. I think this is not a issue." Ms. Wong said, a note of resentment in her voice. "There's a lot I want to hold on to, so I'll do what I can ".

Out of the many times she's been to GHQ, Ms. Hong said, the most profound time was on June 12 two years ago, when she had tasted tear gas for the first time in her life here. Seeing that all these places from the past are now behind giant barriers, Ms. Hong can only sigh. Comparing today's two-person march to the million marching in the streets in the past, Ms. Wong lamented, "I would be lying to you if I don't feel down, but I'm trying to keep myself from collapsing." Ms. Hong also pointed out that Hongkongers need rest, but hoped that we understand that "resting is preparing for a longer road ahead."

Ms. Hong said that if there is an opportunity to march, her short term demands would be unfreezing Apple Daily's assets, and releasing all political prisoners. Long term demands would be for authentic, fair elections. She also had a message for Hongkongers: to "see hope in the far off future" and for officials to "not serve the authority, but Hongkongers."

Although the "under the pot" area in LegCo has now been cordoned off, the two of them went as close as possible and took photos with their stuffed animal companions, laughing bitterly, "Hopefully one day, we can all fulfill our promise to meet 'under the pot'."
