In Hong Kong, Being Young is a Crime
Girl: Why are you making me look so old?
Woman: Being young is a crime...
========
In this latest cartoon by Hong Kong illustrator MandyCats, a distressed woman is putting make-up on a younger girl, purposefully to make her look older.
The satirical cartoon came after the Hong Kong police's brutal attack of a 12-year-old girl on September 6, 2020. The girl was on her way to a stationary shop but ended up being body slammed and subdued between the legs of several riot policemen. The force insisted that the 12-year-old had looked "suspicious".

Colonially-Revised Edition of the Law Ignored by HKSAR Government Since Transfer of Sovereignty
Before the handover, the colonial government reviewed the Crimes Ordinance 10 (1) to show the stance of common law, acts or publications with a seditious intention should “intend to cause violence or disrupt public security or cause chaos“ to be considered a crime. At that time, the pro-establishment camp has not started to participate in the drafting. The democratic camp supported the review, while then frontline Lau Wai-hing and lawmaker Margaret Ng supposed the complete abolishment of article 9 & 10.
The amendment bill was passed in LegCo in June 1997, with 23 votes for and 20 against. Yet, the government has not put the bill into effect since the handover, in addition to contradictions with Basic Law article 23, the Crimes Ordinance article 9 & 10 remain the same as the 1970 version, some articles can even be traced back to the 1938 original version.

#XinjiangCotton: How do I know if it's in my jeans?
Xinjiang cotton is some of the best fabric in the world. It's also, human rights campaigners say, produced by forced labour.
Please bear in mind that Xinjiang cotton accounts for 85% of Chinese production and 20% of world supply.
Some Western brands have removed it from their supply chains, leading to a backlash from Chinese celebrities and netizens. Welcome to the row over cotton from the Xinjiang region of China.
Certification schemes for cotton mills, such as Yarn Ethically & Sustainably Sourced (Yess), work to eliminate forced labour from the supply chain. But that's of limited help to you as a consumer if you're just ordering a pair of jeans off a retailer's website.
"If you really want to be confident of the traceability of the cotton in your jeans, you have to look for Soil Association organic cotton or Fairtrade," advises Clare Lissaman from Common Objective (CO), a sustainable fashion sourcing platform.
