On Feb 28, 2021 in Hong Kong, pro-democracy students and hospital workers held a street booth in Mongkok, to call for Hongkongers to boycott the government's "#LeaveHomeSafe" mobile app, rejecting the regime's surveillance and tracking. They also call on Hongkongers to resist to the end.
The booth is held by #StudentPoliticism together with Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA).
In addition to calling for the boycott of the tracking app, they also call attention to the police's political persecution of the participants in the "35+" pro-democracy primary elections in 2020.
On Feb 28, 2021, the police announced that the arrestees are charged for sedition under the National Security Law, and will be brought to court on the morning of the next day on March 1.
Spokesperson of Student Politicism Wong Yat-Chin encouraged citizens to attend the court hearing to show support for the pro-democracy camp.
In Mongkok, thd police deployed over 30 officers to surround the small street booth; at one point, the officers occupied two-thirds of the pedestrian walkway. They left after recording personal details of the activists, and warned them not to be too loud.
In less than an hour later, the police hoisted the "#purpleflag" warning civilians in the area of potentially "violating the #NationalSecurityLaw".

Down with the live-with-COVID believers
Above four-panel-cartoon is created by a popular artist in Hong Kong, Ar To. The cartoonist attempts to bring out real intention behind the COVID-control measures purposefully imposed in the city in the face of Omicron outbreak.
Inscriptions from upper right panel:
"So it's come to this ..."
"We've got to live with the vir-"
"..."
"We've got to live with surveillance!"
Hong Kong is reeling under an outbreak of Omicron infections, recording nearly 7,000 cases in a day on February 20, straining hospitals and testing centers to their limits.
An opinion poll taken last month -- at the beginning of the current outbreak -- shows that nearly two-thirds of citizens are receptive of a "live with the virus" approach similar to other countries such as the UK.
The Hong Kong government, however, had taken this outbreak as an opportunity to tighten gathering restrictions, enforce mandatory use of its controversial #LeaveHomeSafe tracking app, and carry out sudden, community-wide lockdowns and mandatory testing that last for days. As China is growing more concerned with Hong Kong's seeming inability to contain the outbreak, Carrie Lam and her government may be hard pressed into enacting more Orwellian surveillance measures in order to satisfy Beijing's demands for "dynamic zero covid" -- whatever that now means.

HK Authorities Propose Real Name Registration and #HealthCode System like China's
Hong Kong's Secretary for Heath #LoChungMau said on July 11, 2022 that the government had plans to introduce a three-colour ‘health code’ system in the city, bringing the app in line with China's system.
It would be an additional function to #LeaveHomeSafe, the government's COVID contact-tracing app. Lo mentioned that reference was sought from the health code systems used China. He also claimed that it was important to implement real name registration.
[Editor's note: Since the LeaveHomeSafe app has been made compulsory by the authorities in Hong Kong, many citizens expressed concerns over its privacy issues. The health code system in China has been long regarded as a #MassSurveillance campaign of the #ChineseCommunistParty government.]

Surveillance for All: China Pushes for Permanent Health Code by 2025
Although the #WHO had clearly stated that there had been a drastic 90% decrease in COVID deaths across the world, China had not embraced this optimistic view. Instead, it has declared a goal of making the Health QR Code mandatory for everyone in the country by 2025, enforcing a long-term, real-time surveillance for its citizens.
On Nov 9, The National Health Commission of China announced on its website that by 2025, every Chinese citizen will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code. The announcement is jointly published by the National Health Commission, State Administration of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the announcement, the health code systems currently in use are run by each province separately, and the systems from different provinces do not generally recognize each other's codes. In response, the central government aims to create a basic, inter-connected surveillance platform by 2025, in which each resident will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code.
With such a system in place, the Chinese government will be able to leverage big data to trace the so-called "high-risk individuals", establishing a long-term, real-time surveillance and control of the Chinese populace.
