台灣未獲邀參與世衛大會 台北對大陸阻撓表示遺憾不滿
世界衛生大會今日以視像形式復會，台灣至今未獲邀參與，台北當局對大陸阻撓，以及世衛持續漠視台灣人民的健康人權，表示高度遺憾及強烈不滿。 台灣的外交部說，在台灣爭取參與大會的過程中，國際的聲援越來越強，其中美國再次敦促世衛總幹事譚德塞邀請台灣出席大會，歐洲、非洲、拉丁美洲等地區國家，亦公開表達對台灣的支持，但世衛仍基於政治考量，拒絕邀請台方參會。 當局說，在復會期間，將會規劃舉辦以癌症為主題的網上會議，邀請美歐等國家的官員及專家交流，台方亦會繼續爭取參與世衛會議、機制及活動。
Being tough on China is what unifies a polarised U.S. former trade negotiator says
A former negotiator Willems explain that if Biden wins, he would be constrained by the political environment and will unlikely be able to go back to some of the China position he’s held in the past that were seen as relatively weak.
Trump and his administration have blamed China for its unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft, and the Coronavirus pandemics recently.
When asked if there was a chance that the U.S., under a Biden administration, may rejoin the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, Willems pointed out the deal faced bipartisan opposition in Congress. While Biden may potentially look at the agreement again, there would need to be renegotiation of some of the provisions before the U.S. consider repointing the impact.

Screenings and Newspaper Advertisement, Threatens Students with Penalties
On the eve of the one-year mark of the siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University Students (PolyU), the Students' Union (#PUSU) planned to hold the screenings of two documentaries, 'Save PolyU ' and 'Inside the Red Brick Wall' on November 17 and 18, 2020, in addition to publishing a statement on the front page of Apple Daily.
However, the university management stated in an email sent to the Students' Union on Nov 11, 2020 that the screenings and the newspaper advertisement were banned. If the students do not comply, the university authorities will impose a series of punishments including terminating their use and management rights of the students' union venues; the university will also stop collecting the students union's fee for them, among other disciplinary penalties.
The Students Union condemned the university's intervention, describing it as an act intending to 'wipe out the bloody scenes in our campus'. Regarding the use of venues and operation in the future, the Union will rearrange the screenings and post the statement via their social media instead.

To his father's knowing, Chow "jparticipated in protests". At the night before the incident, he saw Chow carrying a backpack and filling his water bottle before leaving home. At around 00:46, Chow's father told him via Whatsapp that the police had fired tear gas. Chow replied 1 to 2 minutes later, reminding his father to close the windows. It was the last conversation between the father and the son.
When Chow's father was sleeping, Chow's secondary school friend knocked on their door, telling the family that Chow had fallen off from a building.

University Students: "President, you have to save us…I trust the humanistic spirit of CUHK!”
Dr. Leung Kai-chi is a columnist, commentator and guest lecturer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He wrote the following comtemplation on the one-year mark of the siege of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK):
"I don’t think I posted this photo before.
Rushing around during those two days, I didn’t have time to take any pictures. But somehow, I subconsciously felt that I must record this scene: this was the moment when the [University] President walked into student dormintory in the afternoon.
On that day, several teaching staff reached the President's Residence and asked him to come down. Originally they hoped that the President would meet with the students, rather than asking him to go to the No. 2 Bridge.
After entering the dormintory and still arranging the venue, a student suddenly rushed over in the corridor, holding the President's legs and broke down entirely with a wailing cry.
“President, you have to save us…”
“President, you have to save us…”
“My family wants me to study abroad, but I didn’t want to. I have to study at CUHK! I trust the teachers in CUHK! I trust the humanistic spirit of CUHK!”
“Principal, you have to save us…”
Later, more students rushed over and helped that student up.
Afterwards, the President walked to the lawn behind the dormintory and had a short-talk with some seniors.
I never knew what they were talking about, for I was in the process of setting up the venue. Soon, the senior came over and said: “no need to prepare, the President is ready to go to the No. 2 Bridge.”
In the 56 years that the school was founded, how much has to be accumulated to have such a moment.
Running around in these two days, I was trying to cool down the situation all the way, but in vain. But looking back on this scene, the essence of the matter was not President Rocky Tuan or anybody else saving the students, but the spirit and value for one and all to protect the university together."

After The Democrats' Mass Resignation: Beijing Loyalists Suddenly Turn LegCo Meeting into a Presser, But Without Inviting the Media
On November 11, 2020, the PRC's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress ordered the Hong Kong government to "disqualify" by removing four LegCo Councilors in the pro-democracy camp. As a response, other 15 democrats declared their entire resignation.
November 13, 2020 was the first day of the #LegCo meeting after the mass resignation took place.
During the meeting, the Chairman of the Finance Committee Chan Kin-por, a pro-Beijing lawmaker, suddenly suspended the meeting in the afternoon. All the pro-Beijing councilors moved to the Press Room and hosted a press conference, they one by one bombarded the democrats.
The Stand News said they did not receive any interview notice for the press conference. Many reporters from other medis also expressed that they had not been notified.
According to the usual practice in the past, if LegCo councilors are ready to use the LegCo Building Press Room to host a press conference, they would inform reporters in advance or ask their assistants to notify the reporters, so that admission pass could be issued.

The #Mainlandization of Hong Kong Legislature: First Bill After Pan-Democrats' Resignation Passed Near-Unanimously
After the whole pan-Democratic camp resigned in solidarity following the removal of 4 elected lawmakers by Beijing, the Legislature in Hong Kong has passed its first bill on Nov 13, 2020 with a near-unanimous vote, on an amendment concerning parking meters.
Such results have been common at the Chinese National People's Congress, famous for its one-party rule, and Hong Kong's Legislature has finally begun to resemble it.
The single opposition vote is also highly reminiscent of the recent Chinese Congress vote on Hong Kong's National Security Law, in which one single "no" vote stood against thousands of "yes" votes. Less than 5 months after the law has gone into effect, Hong Kong's lawmaking body seems to have already been transformed into the likeness of its single-party counterpart in China.

Beijing Loyalist 'Teaches' Disqualified Lawmakers How to 'Whitewash' Themselves
On November 13, 2020, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (#CPPCC) Hong Kong members formed "Friends of Hong Kong Association" and held a press conference, with a claim to support the National People’s Congress (#NPC) as well as the Hong Kong government to disqualify the 4 LegCo councilors.
The Chairman of the Association, also a Standing Committee Member of the CPPCC National Committee, Henry Tang Ying-yen criticized the four disqualified as openly promoting “Hong Kong Independence” and demanding the U.S. to put sanctions on China and Hong Kong.
However, Tang also suggested that the disqualified persons could send letters to the U.S., including publicly declaring regret for the past actions, withdrawing their speeches and asking the U.S. government to withdraw sanctions, may able to be “whitewashed” and become a candidate in future election.

The U.S. is Entering a Very Unusual Transition Period, said China state-owned media editor
The editor-in-chief of the China state-owned media Global Times, Hu Xijin, believes that the United States will enter a very unusual transition period and that China needs to develop ties with Biden's team, while not provoking Trump.
Hu said in a social media post that the U.S. is going into the most turbulent and uncertain transition period, and China must have bottom-line thinking, preparing for uncertainties. He added that China must develop contacts with Biden's team to explore the possibility of getting rid of the U.S.-China relation of extreme turmoil.
He further said that since Trump does not accept the election results, it is easier for him to vent all of the anger outside the U.S. than internally. The Chinese government should be conscious to avoid directing resentments over the defeat of the election in the Sino-U.S. relation. He suggested Chinese people should respect Trump himself, and there is no need to step on him or mock him.

胡錫進：美國將進入極不尋常的過渡期
內地環球時報總編輯胡錫進認為，美國將進入極不尋常的過渡期，中國需要與拜登團隊發展聯繫，同時不要剌激特朗普。 胡錫進在社交網站貼文，認為這個將會是美國最為動盪、不確定因素最多的過渡期，中國一定要有底綫思維，做好應變準備，要與拜登團隊發展聯繫，探尋中美關係擺脫極端動盪的可能性。 胡錫進說，由於特朗普不接受選舉結果，他將這一切向美國外部發洩，比對內發洩更加容易，中方應有意識，避免把特朗普敗選怨氣引向中美關係方向，尤其對特朗普本人保持應有尊重，中國人無必要踩他、挖苦他。
