#EU expresses “grave concern” over #NationalSecurityLaw in Hong Kong, Questioning China’s Determination in Fulfilling International Obligations
On Jan 19, 2021, Apple Daily revealed that 27 European Union (EU) member states launched a series of joint measures to monitor the impact of Hong Kong’s national security law.
These acts include sending representatives to attend the court hearings in Hong Kong in the prosecution of the democrats since last year – a practice usually reserved for the political trials of human rights activists in mainland China.
An EU spokesperson confirmed the arrangement and expressed “grave concern” about the National Security Law which was forcefully imposed by Beijing.
The law “raised doubts about China’s determination in fulfilling its international obligations, damaged trust in the Chinese government, and affected the relationship between China and the EU,” the spokesperson said.

EU Parliament condemns crackdown on democratic opposition in Hong Kong, calling members to introduce targeted sanction against HK and China officials
The European Parliament passed a resolution by a majority vote of 597-17 on 21 January 2021 demanding “immediate and unconditional release” of the democratic opposition and activists arrested and detained on “politically motivated charges”, including Joshua Wong, Ivan Lam, and Agnes Chow.
Members of the Parliament also expressed regrets on the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment, stating that it did not reflect the Parliament’s requests to use investment negotiations as a leverage tool to preserve Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy.
It further warned that “by rushing to reach this agreement and not taking concrete action against the serious and ongoing human rights violations, the EU risks undermining its credibility as a global human rights actor.”
In addition, the Parliament urged EU member states to consider introducing targeted sanctions against individuals in Hong Kong and China, including Hong Kong Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, under the EU Human Rights Global Sanction Regime.

Japanese Corporate CEO bought monitors at Chinese e-commerce platform Later found out the “monitor” was just a printing pattern on an Iron plate
(Jan 3) Many people have tried shopping using an online shopping platform for its convenience and low price, but the possibility of getting the falsely advertised item is not low due to no actual physical product display for reference. The president and CEO of a famous Japanese corporate Maywa Denki, 土佐信道 san, shared on Twitter that he recently found a 10.1” inch monitor, costing JPY2,500 (around HKD186 / USD25) each, at a Chinese online shopping platform Wish. He thought it was a good deal and ordered 5 monitors. However, when the shipment arrived, he found out the “monitor” was actually a “monitor” picture printed on an “iron plate”.
Maywa Denki (土佐信道) san ended up to add a few magnetic Maywa Denki musical equipment on these iron plates and resold them on the company website at JPY2,600, all of which were sold up within a few hours. He shared this story on Twitter of successfully earning JPY500, which matches the company style of fun, laugh, and jokes.

Australia Universities are “Addicted” to the Income of Chinese Students, Feared to Fall Out of the World's Top 100 Rankings Due to China's Ban
Many Chinese students study aboard in Australia every year, bringing massive benefits to Australian universities. Some universities principals describe that the industry has already “addicted” to the Chinese market. As China-Australia relations deteriorated, China publicly called for not to study in Australia. Some analysis believes that this action massively reduces the universities research expenditures due to the drastic reduction in income. And eventually, it leads to domestic universities falling out of the top 100 in the world.
“Addicted” in relying on the Chinese market
From the start of last year, China-Australia relations become more worsen, Australian President Scott Morrison publicly called out for having an independent investigation into the origin of COVID-19. However, the Beijing government regards this action as a move against China. Afterwards, China launches a trade war against Australia, imposing import bans or tariffs to Australian products such as beef, red wine, coal and lobsters. Chinese Education Department called out to students not to study in Australia, and Australia banned international students from entry due to the pandemic.
Chinese international students contributed around AUD 7 billion (HKD 41.8 billion) to Australian universities each year. Greg Craven, Principal of Australian Catholic University, said the industry is over-relied on the Chinese market, it even brought sovereign risks to Australia. He said helplessly, “They (principals from other universities) all knew about the issues of China, and I have also mentioned in the expert group or publicly, but they chose to remain silent, which is like being addicted to drugs.”

Apple removes 39,000 game apps from China store to meet deadline
Apple removed more than 46,000 apps, including 39,000 gams in total from its China store on Thursday, the biggest removal ever in a single day, as it set year-end as deadline for all game publishers to obtain a licence.
The takedowns come amid a crackdown on unlicensed games by Chinese authorities.
“However, this major pivot to only accepting paid games that have a game licence, coupled with China’s extremely low number of foreign game licences approved this year, will probably lead more game developers to switch to an ad-supported model for their Chinese versions,” said Todd Kuhns, marketing manager for AppInChina, a firm that helps overseas companies distribute their apps.

In New Year's speech, Taiwan president again reaches out to China
In the New Year’s speech, President Tsai Ing-wen said that Taiwan was ready to have “meaningful” talks with China given that China was willing to put aside confrontation.
Taiwan, claimed by China as its sovereign territory, has come under increasing pressure from Beijing
China said ramping up military activity near the island responded to “collusion” between Washington and Taipei. Beijing views this a precursor to Taiwan declaring formal independence, a red line for China.
China, which stopped a formal talks mechanism in 2016 since Tsai won office, repeatedly rejected Tsai’s advances unless she accepts Taiwan is part of China, something Tsai has refused to do.

After Covid, Plane Makers Are Even More Dependent on China
Airlines in the West expect to take years to recover from Covid-19 and aircraft manufacturers depend on the resilience and growth potential of the Chinese market. But China’s own aerospace ambitions and the geopolitical tensions that surround them could make it a turbulent ride.
With another 500 million Chinese expected to join the middle classes over the next few years, the country is also the industry’s big growth opportunity. China is especially important for the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 families
The alternative, which Western companies fear, is that the narrow-body gap will be filled by the C919, made by Chinese State-owned manufacturer Comac. C919 is delayed and unlikely to enter service before late 2021, with limited initial production capacity. It is key for Beijing’s “Made in China 2025” industrial plan. This shouldn’t be underestimated, especially in the later half of the decade. The Chinese government can sell the plane at very discounted prices, and it owns a big chunk of the customers.

"Injustice to be Redressed": Grandma Wong Arrested for Mourning the Death of 15-year-old Student
January 22, 2021 marks the sixteenth month since the death of 15-year-old pro-democracy student Chan Yin-Lam. A large number of police officers and police vehicles deployed in Tseung Kwun O, Hong Kong to curb memorial activities.
While visiting the parking area of Sheung Tak Estate with a former journalist of Stand News in the past, Granny Wong had mourned the casaulties in Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, crying “Yin-Lam! Tze-Lok! Where are you? Please tell me who kill you.”
On Jan 23, 2021, Granny Wong showed up as usual carrying a yellow umbrella and a reusable bag printed with the UK flag. Also, she held a signboard which wrote "Injustice to be redressed".
Granny Wong was arrested of obstructing police officers and not providing identification card, and probably sent to the Tseung Kwun O.

The Fall of Hong Kong
On Jan 22, 2020, Hong Kong recorded its first "highly suspected" coronavirus case, to cite from Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan.
The case was a 39-year-old man of Chinese nationality who had travelled to Wuhan and arrived in Hong Kong from China via the high speed train.
One year has passed. The total number of #COVID19 cases in Hong Kong hit nearly 10,000 and cost the life of 168 people.
On Jan 22, 2021, the Hong Kong's Hospital Authorities (#HA) even issued a letter to its employees, demanding them to return their salary during the strike.
In 2020, medical workers went on strike for the first time in history, demanding nothing but the shutdown of the border with China, in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
In response to the authorities, the Hospital Authorities Employees Association (#HAEA) chairperson Yu Wai-ming said "then why didn't you close the border back then?"
