#PolyU University Managememt Suppresses Students' Union's Commemorative Events, Bans
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.

The coroner's court inquiring the death of 22-year-old university student Alex Chow began on November 16, 2020.
On the early morning of November 4, 2019, Chow fell from Sheung Tak carpark for a reason unknown, during police operation nearby. Chow passed away at 08:09 on November 8, 2019.
Chow's father gave his testimony on the first day of the hearing. The 1997-born Alex Chow was the only child in the family. He was studying computer science at the Hong Kong University Science and Technology (#UST).
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。

China is paving its “belt and road” to British Columbia
The “World Commodity Trade Center”, including four warehouses and two large exhibition halls, is a joint venture between a Chinese-sate sponsored company and a local development firm.
A trailblazing memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) between the B.C. government and Guangdong province in 2016 precedes the project. Most Western Jurisdictions have been apprehensive of Xi’s aspirations of emboldening China’s national and economic interests on a global scale, via the BRI’s foreign infrastructure investments and overseas financial, social and cultural programs.
Guo Taicheng, chairman of Shing Kee Godown Group and Canadian’s permanent resident, is leading this project. He is also executive vice-president of the China Federation of Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs, which is part of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (AFROC) of the CCP’s United Front.

Police Arrest Pro-democracy Activists and Former Lawmakers Ray Chan, Chu Hoi-dick and Ted Hui
According to the Facebook pages of #RayChan, #ChuHoiDick and #TedHui, the three pro-democracy activists were arrested by the police at their homes on the morning of November 18, 2020.
The case was reportedly connected to the legislative council (#LegCo) meeting on June 4, 2020, where the three then-lawmakers protested against the third reading of the National Anthem Bill.
The police accused Hui of breaching the Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance Cap.382 with the charge of comtempt, as he spilled smelly liquid on the floor of the chamber and "caused the LegCo chair to feel disturbed and mentally distressed".
Chan and Chu resigned from the LegCo in Oct, as they refused to let the term be extended by the CCP without an election; Hui joined the recent mass resignation.
