UK sourced Protective Gowns from Chinese factories that secretly use North Koran slave labour
Chinese factories in Dandong are using forced labour from North Korea to produce protective gowns PPE for export to countries including UK, US, Italy, Germany, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Myanmar.
The use of North Korea workers in China breaches UN sanctions which aim to halt foreign export earnings being used to support the regime’s prohibited nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Most of North Korea workers in Dandong are women. Besides working for over 18 hours, they are under surveillance and are unable to leave the factories freely. And sources indicate 70% of wages of these works in PPE factories seized by the North Korean state.
Dandong has become a global centre of production for gown and coveralls because factories in Dandong can produce at the lowest by employing cheap North Korea labour for labour-intensive production.

China censors Canadian curriculums at international schools
Accredited Canadian international schools in China hasn’t followed the Alberta program of study and have made compromises to please Chinese authorities. That includes editing their own lesson plans, avoiding the topics of Tiananmen massacre, Tibet and Taiwan in the lesson.
Earlier this year, the government introduced a draft law that proposes new requirements for teachers in China, including 20 hours of political and legal education. It also explicitly bar “words and actions that damage China’s National sovereignty, security, honour, and the public interests of society”. Also, Chinese authorities have governed who can be hired.

When the "Kowloon Demonstration" took place on September 6, 2020, a 12-year-old girl, a passerby, was violently pinned to ground by four police officers, who kneeled and climbed on her.

Yu described how the police had used excessive force against the girl, and the girl felt humiliated by the police.
Yu cited the girl’s experience, criticized the police for abusing their power, which violated their guidance note of "using minimum necessary force' by brutally pinning down a 12-year-old girl. The girl explained that she was unarmed and has not committed any transgression, but was still humiliated by the police, "I've been suffering from this traumatizing experience."

HK Police allegedly threaten to throw a riot defendant out of window to get a phone unlocked during investigation of a fire bomb case
In 2019, police arrested 6 men and women for the bottles of white gas and cloth strips found in their home in Causeway Bay on October 1. They were accused of "conspiracy to commit arson", but the prosecutors amended the charge to "conspiracy to commit riot" right before the trial starts.
The trial continued on Dec 2, 2020, and the defendant alleged a police officer of pushing his upper body out of the window to get his phone unlocked, while threatening him, "Speak! Or I will throw you out of the window!". The police officer was also accused to grab one of the female defendants and pushed her against the window, saying, "Why did you do such things? All that glitters is not gold", "You are dead meat and can do nothing. Why don't you just jump out of the window?"

O’Toole Slams “Weak” Trudeau Again, Calls for Banning Huawei from 5G Projects in Canada in 30 Days
Erin O’Toole, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, called on the Liberal government on Sunday, 15 November to take a stronger stand on the use of Huawei’s technology and other China-related issues.
O’Toole revealed in an interview that the Conservative Party is ready to table a motion requiring the federal government to ban Huawei from participating in the construction of Canada’s 5G network within 30 days. He added that they will also call on the government to set out new strategies targeting such issues as China’s growing influence and its intimidation of Canadians.
Commenting that Trudeau had been too close to China in the past, O’Toole said the Liberal Party needs to be honest with Canadians and their allies. He continued that hundreds of Canadians are feeling the influence of the CCP at home and that the citizens need a responsible and principled leader.
When asked if Canada is ready for retaliation should it become harder on China, O’toole emphasized that Canada needs to cooperate with the rest of the Five Eyes to counter China in such areas as the economy.
“In the last 20 years, all parties, all democratic countries tried to engage, hoping that China, in the WTO and other things, would start moving towards respect for rule of law, for human rights. It’s gone the opposite,” said O’Toole. “So when things are not working after a generation, it’s time for some leadership to take a different approach.”

Pope Francis Mentions the Prosecution of Xinjiang Uyghurs
The Chinese government sets up “Re-education Camps” in Xinjiang in recent years with masses detention of Uyghurs, drawing global attention to humanitarian issues. After years of demands from human rights defenders, Pope Francis firstly said the Xinjiang Uyghurs as “persecuted” people in his new book – Let Us Dream: The Path to A Better Future.
He mentioned Xinjiang Uyghurs in a chapter on the persecution of Christians in Islamic countries, “I occasionally think of the persecuted: Rohingya, poor Uyghurs and Yazidi.” Francis did mention about Rohingya fleeing Myanmar and Yazidi who is being killed in Islamic countries. This is his first time mentioned Uyghurs.
The United States Secretary of State Pompeo earlier criticized China on suppressing the Uyghurs in Xinjiang at the Vatican meeting. Yet, the Vatican has never spoken out on related issues. Some commentators think that the Vatican did not speak out for Uyghurs earlier to avoid affecting Sino-Vatican contract renewal negotiation.

With frozen good clampdown China points overseas as source of coronavirus
Chinese state media have cited the presence of the coronavirus on imported frozen food packaging, as well as scientific papers claiming that the coronavirus was circulating in Europe earlier than previously believed, as evidence that China may not have been its origin.
Unlike other countries, China cites frozen food packaging as a risk of spreading COVID-19, even though the World Health Organization (WHO) says neither food nor packaging is a known transmission route.
The Global Times, a nationalist tabloid published by the People’s Daily, has also promoted the theory that COVID-19 originated outside China.

Chinese media step up campaign to muddy probe into Covid oigins
People’s Daily, the official Chinese Communist party (CCP) said in a Facebook that “all available evidence” suggested the virus “did not start in central China’s Wuhan”, citing Chinese experts.
“These clues all point to imported cold chain seafood being the outbreak’s origin”, Wu Zunyou, China’s Centre for Disease Control.
China are open for the investigation into the origins of the virus. However, the first team sent by the World Health Organization (WHO) to establish guidelines for later studies failed to visit Wuhan drawing criticism from US diplomats.
Michael Ryan, the WHO Health Emergencies Programme executive, said that the team should start the search in Wuhan and follow the evidence from there.

Coroner Unearthes Evidence Missed Out by the Police, Casting Doubt on the Arrival and Departure Time of the Ambulance
In November 2019, 22-year-old #HKUST student Alex Chow Tsz-lok fell from the parking lot of Sheung Tak Estate during protests in Tseung Kwan O. He died four days later due to critical brain damage.
The death inquiries have stepped into the 15th day on December 4, 2020. The footage from the ground CCTV No.2 of Kwong Ming Court in Kwong Sun House played by the Court showed a black shadow descending from the parking lot at 12:51:37 in the morning.
Coroner Ko Wai-hung said the black shadow appeared to be Chow, but there was a time difference in the footage. Ko then ordered the police to search for evidence in nearby housing estates and buildings and called on the management property and the owners' corporation to offer assistance as much as possible.
Chow's mother cried bitterly after watching the clip. The video has existed for a long time, and it has been reviewed by the police before.
Coroner Ko said that there was another video showing the arrival and departure time of the ambulance A344 which took Chow to the hospital, and the time was not consistent with the testimony given by the ambulanceman.
Therefore, Ko has listed Fire Services Department as an interested party and has written to the director of Fire Services.
Ko said in order to adjust the time difference in the clip, and to allow police to investigate further, the proceedings would be adjourned to next Tuesday.
Ko also warned before showing the clip, "the content of the clip will be disturbing, family members and the jury must be psychologically prepared."
The police said earlier that the surveillance camera footage of Kwong Ming Court could not capture the parking lot situation, but Ko looked through the clips again for caution and found there were "crucial clips" that would influence the testimonies of the expert witnesses.
He added, "I could only tell the parents of Tze-lok that the video is very important." In order to ensure the investigation was sufficient and complete, he revisited the evidence during the lunch break yesterday, "only by doing this I can be reassured and carry on the proceedings".
However, the police detective Wei Koon-kit who was responsible for reviewing the security footage testified earlier he had obtained and watched all CCTV clips outside Kwong Ming Court.
The lawyer representing the family asked, "is there any footage that captured what was happening outside the parking lot?", Wei answered no, and said, "we would also like to have these footages for investigating this case, but the problem is the focus of the camera cannot capture the parking lot!"

Coroner Inquest's Magistrate Condemns Schools, Police Officers and Government Officials Multiple Times for Lying and Not Fulfilling Their Duties
Coroner inquests are supposes to be held with evidence provided by the police, and the officer responsible for inspecting the CCTV evidence for the death of Alex Chow Tsz-lok said in court that all CCTV cameras failed to capture the situation outside the parking lot of Sheung Tak Estate. The officer said that they have failed to find how Chow was injured.
However, magistrate Ko Wai-hung re-watched the surveillance camera footage during his lunch break on Dec 3, 2020 and said to have found “critical” details.
In the past few years, magistrate Ko has handled a number of high-profile coroner’s inquests, including the death of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam, a rape suspect who hung himself from a LAN line at a police station, the death of an elementary school girl who fell from a school building, and the arson in Kwun Lung Lau.
Magistrate Ko Wai-hung condemns school officials, police officers and government officials multiple times for lying and for not doing their jobs.
