Police Aggresively Pushes Shopper For No Reason
Mass arrests ensued after the police stormed in Yoho Mall, Yuen Long. December 21 marks 5 months of the Triad attack on civilians (some Hongkongers referred it to a "terrorist attack") in Yuen Long on July 21.
At around 12 on December 21, the police patrolled and searched around the shopping mall. The video shows how a shopper with his hands at the back, who had already given way to the force, was suddenly pushed by an officer. The civilian nearly fell, but quickly found himself surrounded. At last, he walked away from the police.

Southern China Experiences Electricity and Water Shortage
In December 2020, the Chinese authorities has imposed control over electricity consumption according to "wartime measures". On Dec 21, the control has seemingly been extended to the Guangdong Province, affecting cities like Guangzhou, Dongguan. Foshan, Huizhou and Zhuhai.
In the evening, there is even no electricity to power the street lamps. Many Chinese netizens uploaded photos of the blackout on social media.
At around midnight, it was reported that many areas experienced water shortage simultaneously due to the lack of electricity supply for the water pump.
The Guangzhou Electricty Bureau replied to an inquiring citizen, claiming the electric grid was out of order.

Today (21 December), the court of Final Appeal handed down its judgement and upheld the government’s right to impose emergency measures. Also, it rules the mask ban is constitutional.

"Winter Solstice With You": District Councillor Spreads Christmas Cheer at Street Booth
Tonight is winter solstice, traditionally a night of dinner and gathering with family and friends. With the epidemic, however, it is not so feasible to go out and celebrate the solstice, or the coming Christmas neither. With so much disheartening news of Hongkongers facing political persecution in the city, and even in China - as in the case of #Save12HKYouths - many in the city find themselves with little Christmas joy this year.
Tonight, Mongkok North District Councillor Siu Tak-kin set up a street-side Christmas display, with a 4-meter Christmas tree and a 2-meter-tall snowman figure. Many citizens passing by posed for Christmas photos. Siu's district council team had originally ordered wall calendars to be handed out to citizens, but the shipment was detained in China. Instead, Siu's team printed new calendar posters, and handed them out to passing citizens.
They also set up a table for "Christmas cards for 12 HKers", where citizens could write their thoughts to the 12 detained Hongkongers. Siu will later mail them to the 12's detention center in Shenzhen.
