The President of Poland signed the “Taiwan-Poland Criminal Justice Cooperation Agreement”, becoming the first European country to cooperate on legal matter including extradition and prisoner transfer

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan announced that Poland President Andrzej Duda has signed the “Taiwan-Poland Criminal Justice Cooperation Agreement” on 28th February and became the first European country to sign such agreement with Taiwan, which covers mutual assistance with criminals, extradition, and transfer of criminals. The agreement was approved unanimously by the Polish Sejm (lower house) and the Senate (upper house) and will take effect after the President signs the agreement.

“Taiwan-Poland Criminal Justice Cooperation Agreement” was co-signed by the representatives of two countries in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan in June 2019. After the coordination between the two governments, the Taiwan Legislative Council completed the third reading of the agreement in December 2019 and notified the Poland side. Poland went through the legal process, including unanimous approval by the Polish Sejm and the Senate, official sign-off by the president Andrzej Duda on 28th January 2021, and finally its announcement. The agreement will take effect as soon as Taiwan receives formal notification from Poland.

Beijing Official Calls on US to Stop Meddling in Hong Kong Affairs, Says Chinese Feelings “Not to Be Hurt”

China’s Politburo member and former foreign minister Yang Jiechi said on February 1 that he hopes US President Joe Biden will work on restoring a predictable and constructive Sino-American relationship while calling on the US to stop interfering in issues involving Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity.

This appeal came as all eyes are on whether the two powers’ relations will improve under the Biden administration. Calling on the newly inaugurated president to work towards a peaceful and mutually beneficial relationship, Yang said the US should uphold the ‘one China’ principle and respect Beijing’s position and concerns when it comes to Taiwan. He further called on the US to refrain from meddling in issues surrounding Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang, warning that the feelings of the 1.4 billion Chinese are “not to be hurt”.

Speaking in a video conference hosted by the US’ National Committee on United States-China Relations, Yang stated that issues surrounding Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang are matters concerning China’s core interests and national dignity. Disregard for the feelings of the Chinese, he said, would prove only to be detrimental to the Sino-American relations and US interests. He added that he hopes the US would understand the sensitivity of these issues and tread cautiously, taking care not to undermine the mutual trust between the two countries.

From Lantau to Ealing: Hong Kong’s homesick exiles in Britain greet the Year of the Tiger

For many newly arrived Hong Kongers in Britain, this will be their first Lunar New Year away from home.

As families across the Chinese-speaking world gather to celebrate the advent of the Year of the Tiger on February 1, the Cantonese festivities across the U.K. in the coming days will often be a bitter reminder of separation from loved ones and from the places where they grew up.

UK-Based HongKonger's Groups Criticised pro-Beijing Organisations Cleansing the National Security Law with Human-sea Tactics

The 73rd Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Conference will be held within 2 weeks. UK-based HongKongers organisations found that many pro-Beijing organisations submit reports to this conference, strongly promoting the National Security Law (#NSL). They intended to rationalise the fact of Beijing’s corrosion to the rights in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Scots, a UK-based HongKongers’ organisation, indicated that Beijing utilised Human-sea tactic after being criticised in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights last year to promote the suppression of Hong Kong people in the United Nations. As the submitted content from various groups of people is similar, it is suspected to interfere with the trial of Hong Kong Human Rights in the United Nations, demonstrating “head count takes over the truth with limited evidence”.
