Man Visited by PRC Official in Mediatized 'Home Visit' Turns Out to Be Pro-Beijing "National Flag- Bearer"
In a published statement from the Hong Kong Liaison Office on October 1st, 2020, it was mentioned that director Luo Huining visited grassroots in Hong Kong. One of the citizens interviewed was found to be a pro-China supporter who has been interviewed by multiple pro-beijing media. The man is called Xu Tianmin.
Xu, who has been living in Hong Kong for 7 years, was interviewed by China's Beijing Times during the flag-raising ceremony on New Year's Day. According to China-owned Wen Wei Po, Xu has been contacting members in the “Love China, Love Hong Kong” page, and became the China national flag-bearer. Xu also cleaned up pro-democracy Lennon walls and barricades from time to time.
A photo of Xu tearing off pro-democracy posters in a tunnel at Tai Po was shown in the article. Xu also indicated that he had so far spent more than 100k HKD for cleaning up pro-democracy slogans and posters on the streets until the pandemic broke out. In his bag, he had always carried a can of spray paint and a Chinese national flag.

Hong Kong lawyers create court database of protest-related cases in bid to safeguard #RuleofLaw
A group of young Hong Kong lawyers have created a database of magistrates’ rulings in protest-related cases in a bid to safeguard the rule of law, amid unprecedented public interest in court hearings after thousands were prosecuted over the 2019 unrest.
The #CompendiumProject – launched in June – has compiled information on more than 500 protest-related cases that were handled by all seven magistrates’ courts. From the name of the magistrate to the reasons for the verdict and sentence, the platform seeks to provide written records of lower court hearings that are rarely made public by the authorities.
The Legal Reference System managed by Hong Kong’s judiciary seldom publishes written judgements by magistrates.
One of the project consultants, barrister Chris Ng, said such a practice had made it difficult for lawyers to check the legal principles and sentencing guidelines adopted by different magistrates, and whether their rulings in cases of a similar nature were consistent.
“Lawyers have always been kept in the dark,” he said.
As at the end of July, the city’s magistrates’ courts were processing 150 protest-related cases, while 1,101 had been completed.
“Following the social movement, the whole sentencing landscape has changed. To put it simply, the sentences became heavier,” another junior barrister involved in the project added.
The project’s low-profile adviser #MargaretNg, said in her new book about the rule of law that Hongkongers have developed an “unprecedented” interest in judicial procedures.
“Self-initiated” citizens who record court proceedings, and the compendium project, were both proof that the rule of law would not be “taken away” easily, she said.

‘Red Roulette’ Uncovers Covert Hands in Hong Kong
//#China has long accused foreign elements of being behind the protests that convulsed Hong Kong in 2019. Authorities returned to the theme in recent days, with the foreign ministry releasing a 6,300-word “fact sheet” of U.S. interference in the territory.
None of the material in either report offers proof of the so-called black hands that Beijing has frequently invoked in its denunciations of external meddling...
There is, though, an account of behind-the-scenes manipulation by an external presence that sought to incite demonstrations in Hong Kong. It’s just that it comes from the other side.
Red Roulette: An Insider's Story of Wealth, Power, Corruption, and Vengeance in Today's China is a memoir by Shanghai-born businessman #DesmondShum that was published this month. The book has created a stir among China scholars because of its ringside view of the nexus of business and politics in Beijing. But Shum’s description of China’s actions in Hong Kong is also revealing.
In Shum’s words, he was enlisted by the Communist Party to serve as a foot soldier in its campaign to undermine Hong Kong’s political system. As a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, an advisory body that is part of the party’s united front operations, Shum says officials ordered him to go to Hong Kong to organize and fund counter-demonstrations during the 2014 #UmbrellaMovement. Those with businesses in Hong Kong were told to pay employees to march in support of China’s position, he says.
The businessman, who was raised in Hong Kong, relates how he joined one march, making sure that he was seen by officials from the Liaison Office, the central government’s main agency in the city, so that he would receive credit.
“I found the whole exercise laughable,” Shum writes. “Everyone, from the Liaison Office officials to all of us marchers, was acting. Few, if any, believed in the main idea underlying the action — that Hong Kong needed less democracy or less freedom. Everyone was there because of self-interest and to gain brownie points in Beijing.”//
