HK$25.8 billion Funding for Police Force Passed in Legislative Council with Pro-Beijing Camp's Endorsement
The government's budget plan was passed in the Legislative Council on May 14. The bill had been criticized by the pro-democracy lawmakers as the relief funds for residents and businesses were bundled with the police funding, which has increased by 24.7 per cent compared to last year.
The bill was opposed by 23 pro-democracy lawmakers but was in the end passed with 42 votes from the pro-Beijing camp. Pro-democracy lawmaker Chan Pui-yin of the medical profession abstained from voting.
All 52 amendments proposed by the pro-democracy fraction were voted down. One of the main concerns was the police funding of HK$25.8 billion for expansion, weapons and supplies, making Hong Kong a city with the world's highest citizen-officer ratios.
In 2019-20, the police overtime pay and other allowances cost HK2.5 billion, exceeding 10 times the original estimate.

Hong Kong Journalist Association requests access to Registers Lists by all media
The Hong Kong Journalist Association has opposed the rule that only government-approved media is allowed to access the Provisional Registers and Omissions List. In an appeal letter to the Chief Executive, the Association expressed concerns that the discriminating system will limit the media's ability to monitor the election, and demanded the government to reconsider the policy.
The Provisional Registers and Omissions List reveals Hong Kong voters’ names and residential addresses in the public.
The public used to have access to the list, until the Junior Police Officers Association applied for a judicial review to restrict its accessibility in order to prevent doxxing of police officers. The court now ruled that only government-approved media is allowed access.

Police Allegedly Set Roadblocks with Cars Carrying Civilians, Causing Tragedy
In February 2018, police officers were suspected to use civilians’ cars as “human road block” to stop a van from travelling at high speed in Fanling, causing 5 cars to collide in the end. The driver and a male passenger on the van were killed, and the driver of the “human road block” vehicle became unconscious due to the incident.
The Coroner's Court started a hearing on this case earlier. It was ruled that the driver and the passenger were killed on accident. The cause of the accident was cars driving slowly according to instructions of police officers.
Magistrate Chow Wai-choo advised the Hong Kong Police Force to train officers and make sure they understand regulations related to their work. The Hong Kong Police Force shall submit a written response within 6 months regarding these suggestions.

721 Yuen Long Triad Attack: 37 Assailants Arrested, No Sign of Progress since December
On 21 July 2019, mobs in dressed white attacked civilians at Yuen Long MTR Station.
"Hong Kong Connection", a program produced by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) reassembled snippets of scenes from that night, and uncovered that the mob had already started to assemble earlier in the evening that day.
During the gathering which happened earlier in the evening, plainclothes police officers with their warrant cards patrolled Fung Yan Street North, at place of assembly (known colloquially as "Chicken Place"). Despite doing so, they did not stop gangsters, armed with rods and holding national flags, from gathering.
The Force shared a post on its Facebook page, stating that the Yuen Long Police Station had sent a detail of plainclothes police officers the location where the crowd was gathered. Their deployment and actions depended on the situation on the spot, and further actions could only be executed on after proper risk assessments.
The force said they understood the public's concerns, and that this case was of importance to them.
They said that the Regional Crime Unit (RCU) of the New Territories North Regional Police Headquarters are "currently on the investigation persistently."
Based on the information as provided by the force, they have locked up several suspects and arrested 37 people between, from 18 to 61 of age. Seven of them were charged with the participation of riot and conspiring to wound with intent. There are individuals who are also on the police wanted list. They also said that they expect more people to be arrested for this case.
The Police Force also claims that they will continue to maintain a close communication with the Department of Justice (DoJ) and ensure that this case gets investigated thoroughly.
However, based on the information that we ourselves have found, the police announced in Novemver that they had arrested 37 people for participating in the attack on 21 July, and 7 of the suspects were charged in December. This completes the equation for us, and shows us that the number of people arrested and charged has remained the same for nearly eight months.

Tokyo Police to Undergo Reorganization, Stepping Up Measures Against China and North Korea
Japanese broadcaster NHK has reported that the external affairs division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) will undergo reorganization. A new unit will be set up in addition to the three it originally has, while the existing units will be better equipped. According to the report, this is a response to the increase of Chinese and North Korean intelligence activities.
Sources revealed the three existing units specialize in Russian affairs, Asian affairs, and monitoring international extremist groups, respectively. Under the new arrangement, a new unit will split off from the second unit with the former focusing on North Korean affairs and the latter better equipped to respond to threats from China.
The report noted that Chinese espionage, disguised sometimes as commercial activities, has become more active in such fields as frontier technology. Given also that China is in a fierce technological competition with the US, Japan is faced with the need to strengthen its precautionary measures. As for North Korea, Japan considers Pyongyang’s continued development of its nuclear arsenal and ballistic missiles a significant threat. The Tokyo government concluded that North Korean intelligence activities will intensify in Japan.

7,000-strong #Police Deployment to Suppress Annual #TiananmenMassacre #Vigil in Hong Kong
32 years ago on June 4, 1989, in Beijing, the #ChineseCommunistParty government ordered a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy civilians on the Tiananmen Square. The military used tanks and fired live rounds, brutally killing and injuring countless civilians in the PRC's capital.
2021 marks 32 years after the Massacre which is still denied by the #CCP.
After cordonning off Victoria Park, the city's largest park in the urban area and the venue for the annual Tiananmen Massacre #CandlelightVigil at around 14:00, the Hong Kong police at 17:28 blocked all three cross-harbour tunnels by setting up road block and intercepting vehicles, resulting in huge traffic chaos.
Uncannily, today the streets of Hong Kong see at least two police armoured tanks and one water cannon vehicle, to suppress the commemorative event that the police has already banned.

"You have chosen the side of the tanks"
The following essay was written by #AuKaLun, a veteran journalist in Hong Kong:
"On a Causeway Bay street in the evening of 4 June, 2021, my attention was focused in particular on the faces of the policemen. Most of them had plodding eyes, dragging their feet and yelled occasionally to embolden themselves. Some were wearing glasses of scholarly looks, some have fair skin. And there was one who is stout and out of proportionally broad, seemingly unwell – take care.
Not surprisingly, these long arms (policemen) of the regime are just like any ordinary citizens like you and me. Some are tall, some short, some fat and some skinny. As in the Berlin Golden Bear best file “There Is No Evil”, there is really very little difference between them and us. If we take one step, we would have crossed over to their side."

‘It Feels Like We’re Just Waiting to Die’: Hong Kong Targets Student Unions
The police arrived at the University of Hong Kong around 3 p.m., wearing black vests marking them as national security officers. They cordoned off the offices of the student union, combed its interior and seized several bins of material.
A top police official said they were investigating the union over comments from its leaders that the authorities said had glorified violence. But the underlying message of the mid-July raid was clear: The authorities were clamping down on the city’s universities, and in particular its student activists.

Hong Kong police job vacancies rise for 4th consecutive year
//Vacancies in the Hong Kong Police Force have risen for the fourth straight year, recent government figures showed.
... the Secretary for Security said in a written response that there have been 5,706 openings during the 2021-2022 financial year so far – an 8 per cent increase from the previous year when there were 5,258 vacancies.
The number of vacancies in 2018-2019 and 2019-20 were 1,440 and 2,235, respectively.
The figures – up until December 31 last year – show that most vacancies were for rank and file, or junior police officer, positions. The 2021-2022 recruitment target for junior police officers was 1,350. Just 423 have joined the force.

Xinjiang Police Files: Inside a Chinese internment camp
The highly coercive and potentially lethal systems of control used against minority groups in China’s internment camps have been revealed in a giant cache of secret documents shared with the BBC.
China insists the network of secure facilities built across its far western region of Xinjiang are simply “schools” for combatting extremism to which “students” sign up willingly. But the contents of the leaked Xinjiang Police Files suggest a different story.
Taking information from the leaked documents, the BBC has reconstructed one of the camps – the Shufu County New Vocational Skills Education and Training Centre - to reveal the methods used inside.

Chinese authorities have established 54 “overseas police service centres” around the world in the last few years, according to a new report, as Beijing seeks to expand Chinese powers abroad.

Why are Chinese police operating in Canada, while our own government and security services apparently look the other way?
In China, the high-profile TV drama In The Name Of The People has become a smash hit. In that show, Chinese agents enter the U.S. posing as businessmen so they can repatriate a factory manager who had fled abroad with huge ill-gotten wealth.
But a new study by the European non-governmental agency Safeguard Defenders suggests that there might be some truth to the fiction. According to the NGO, the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau has established more than 50 “overseas police service centres” in cities around the world – including three publicly documented ones in Toronto, home to Canada’s largest Chinese diaspora.

China hits back at FBI claim of unauthorized ‘police stations’ in US
China has contested claims it was operating unauthorized “police stations” on US soil, calling the sites volunteer-run, after the FBI director said he was “very concerned” about unauthorized stations that have been linked to Beijing’s influence operations.
Safeguard Defenders, a Europe-based human rights organization, published a report in September revealing the presence of dozens of Chinese police “service stations” in large cities around the world, including New York.
