Hanbok or Hanfu? Chinese Dress Up Game Sparks Debate, South Korean Professor Demands Apology from Developer
Shining Nikki, a dress up game by the Chinese developer Papergames, has caused controversy earlier for launching a Korean-style outfit named “Gunyun Chonghua”. The outfit drew criticism from a number of Chinese players, who claimed it was not Korean hanbok but hanfu from the Ming dynasty, while some Korean players insisted that it is hanbok. As the row intensified, the developer closed its newly opened server in Korea while slamming some of its Korean players for having “insulted China” and stepped over the line. The shutdown did not put an end to the quarrel. According to the Yonhap News Agency, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at South Korea’s Sungshin Women’s University, has written to Papergames in protest of the way it handled the incident and demanded that it apologize to South Korean netizens.

Australian Top Diplomat says China's Power “mistaken”, should not resort to “pressure and coercion”
The trade relation between China and Australia continues to be tense, with more than 50 vessels carrying hundreds of millions of Australia Dollar worth of coal hindered in unloading and clearing customs at Chinese ports recently. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) General Secretary Frances Adamson said China should not resort to “pressure or coercion”, nor should it attempt to override established norms on engaging the world.
Adamson said that China rise in power may have reached to a point where it believes that it can largely set the terms of its future engagement with the world, rather than adopting international standard. “If it has, I believe it is mistaken”, she spoke in a speech Wednesday at the National Security College of the Australia's National University (ANU). She explained that China does not need to resort to “pressure or coercion”, there is far more to be gained for China, and for other countries, through working collaboratively within the international system.
Adamson believed that China should understand that “No power this large and globally integrated can escape scrutiny or debate". It has to carefully consider other countries' reactions to its conduct internationally. Adamson point out that, in addition to China relations, Australia has to consider U.S.' attitude, emphasized that “Defining the character of our enduring peace isn't just about China. We have to be influential with the United States, too.”

Canadians who say they’ve been targeted by foreign agents want coordinated response
Four victims of threats and intimidation by Iranian, Chinese and Russian foreign agents joined a Parliament Hill press conference on Thursday, where they gave harrowing accounts of harassment by foreign agents operating on Canadian soil. They said Canadian domestic police forces have proven ill-equipped to deal with their concerns.
These four people are husband of a deceased in the Boeing jet fired by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, members of Canada’s Tibetan and Uighur communities, a Canadian filmmaker and journalist who specializes in Russia.
A private member’s bill from Conservative MP Garnett Genuis calling on the federal government to take stronger action against foreign interference. Conservative Party had a motion in the House of Commons to call on the Liberal government to take a harder line against national security threats from China.

Chinese fishing plant in Torres Strait raises alarm for Australian industry and islanders
“Under the influence of China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ policy, Fujian Zhonghong Fishery Company decided to invest in Papua New Guinean (PNG) and signed the memorandum of understanding with PNG’s fisheries minister, Lino Tom.
A $200m Chinese-built fishery plant planned for a Papua New Guinean island could allow Chinese-backed commercial vessels to fish legally in the Torres Strait, and has raised concerns about unregulated fishing in the same waters, potentially threatening the Australian industry and local PNG fishers.
This deal could allow Chinese-backed commercial vessels to fish legally in the Torres Strait, and attract Chinese funding for PNG-flagged vessels.
In August 2020, nearly 300 Chinese vessels logged 73,000 hours of fishing in a month, hauling in thousands of tonnes of squid and fish.

Hong Kong Court-apported liquidator attempts to take control of the #AppleDailyTaiwan Assets
On November 26, 2021, the Taiwan based Economic Democracy Union (#EDU) warned potential breaches of human rights and national security ramifications after a Hong Kong court-appointed liquidator sought permission to order Taiwan-based #AppleDaily and #NextMagazine to turn over all of their assets.
The union, a consortium of non-governmental organizations, urged the Taiwan government to take immediate action to ensure that Hong Kong’s #NationalSecurityLaw would have no foothold in #Taiwan.
According to a lawyer of the EDU, Taiwan would be in its rights to ignore the demands because they have not been reviewed by Taiwanese courts, and because Taiwanese courts can decline to enforce foreign laws.
Likewise, the EDU has framed the issue as significant in needing to prevent the Hong Kong National Security Law from encroaching upon Taiwanese sovereignty. The EDU also emphasized the potential dangers if the Apple Daily turned over information to Hong Kong authorities as a result of the seizure of its assets.
The liquidator is court-appointed, following the Apple Daily’s closure in June 2021. Hong Kong courts also froze 18 million Hong Kong dollars in company funds, preventing it from paying its workers, not long after courts moved to freeze assets of company CEO #JimmyLai.
