Quarantine Facility Doctor in China: Beijing's Statistics Cannot be Trusted
//China's health authorities on Mar 19 reported no new cases of coronavirus infection in Wuhan... but a local doctor who works at a quarantine facility told Kyodo News that the government tally "cannot be trusted."
The number of novel coronavirus patients in Wuhan, the epicenter of China's virus outbreak, was manipulated in time for President Xi Jinping's visit last week, the doctor said.
A number of symptomatic patients were abruptly released from quarantine early while a portion of testing was suspended.
The number of patients currently undergoing treatment is deliberately being reduced in an effort to show the Xi government's success in combatting the epidemic, he said.
According to the National Health Commission, nearly 58,000 people have been discharged from hospitals in Hubei Province, where Wuhan is the capital.//

Government presses forward controversial musical fountain project snubbing Council and public disapproval
The Kwun Tong District Council discussed on Mar 18 about the HK$50 million Music Fountain Project at the Kwun Tong Promenade. Despite opposition from district councilors, who passed a motion in early January to halt the construction, the government disregarded the Council’s opposition, pressing the project to continue and claiming that was "out of respect for due process and spirit of the contract".
Councilors pointed out that key district projects should be led by district councils, criticizing the Home Affairs Department’s arrogance, flouting the Council’s views and public opinion. They also questioned how the fountain project could revive Hong Kong's tourism industry and asked for the project to be shelved due to lack of public support.
Being asked whether the project could be suspended or modified, Assistant Director of Home Affairs, Chung Ya-chi, stressed that the District Council and Legislative Council had been actively involved in the project approval and project funding respectively. Chung added that the annual cost of maintance would be around $1.8 million but she refused to disclose contract details quoting trade secret as reasons, reiterating that project suspension could incur additional costs. As for amendments of the project, it should be considered in line with the approved budget framework.
Chung attempted to justify public support of the project, quoting support from more than half of a public poll. It was discredited by the Chairman of the Council, Choy Chak-hung, as the poll was conducted by a pro-government party.

Chinese Businessman Suspected To Be CCP's Agent Sent To Silence Daughter of Jailed Hong Kong Bookseller
Apple Daily requested documents from the Stockholm court on the case relating to Anna Lindstedt, Sweden’s former ambassador to Beijing, after she brokered an unauthorized meeting between Angela Gui and two businessmen who claimed to be able to release Gui's father, Gui Minhai, a Hong Kong bookseller with Swedish citizenship who went missing in 2015 and was jailed in China.
The documents revealed that the “two businessmen” were Kevin Liu, chairman of MiNiSV Holding Ltd. and John Meewella, a Sri Lankan CEO.
In fact, the Swedish personnel had found Liu’s identity suspicious before the incident and had banned his entry into Sweden. Liu had used multiple names and listed different birth dates and birthplace on the official documents.
Experts suspected that Liu is an agent (similar to those in the KGB) appointed by the CCP to silence Angela Gui.

China Buys More Iranian and Venezuelan Oil, in a Test for Biden
China has sharply increased its imports of oil from Iran and Venezuela in a challenge to two Biden administration foreign-policy priorities, according to U.S. officials.
That trend is confirmed by other shipping trackers, some of which see those sales at 1 million barrels a day.
China is also increasingly flouting international sanctions on North Korea and is no longer trying to hide some of its smuggling activity as it seeks to help Pyongyang, U.S. officials said recently.
“The informal Chinese purchases have reduced the need to negotiate on oil sanctions” for Tehran, one Iran-focused U.S. official said.

Tesla cars banned from China's military complexes on security concerns -sources
The Chinese military has banned Tesla cars from entering its complexes, citing security concerns over cameras installed on the vehicles. The move is the latest sign of China’s growing scrutiny of the U.S. electric carmaker amid tensions with Washington.
Automakers have been equipping more vehicles with cameras and sensors that capture images of a car’s surroundings. Control of how those images are used and where they are sent and stored is a fast-emerging challenge for the industry and regulators around the world.
Tesla cars have several external cameras to assist drivers with parking, changing lanes and other features. Chief Executive Elon Musk has often spoken about the value of the data Tesla vehicles capture that can be used to develop autonomous driving.

Tiananmen Square, Uyghur Court: Tower Hamlets plans name changes in solidarity
The Chinese embassy is to be relocated to the East End of London, Tower Hamlets.
The councillors said they welcomed the relocation of the embassy from the West End but “we must continue to make clear where our own standards and principles apply”.
The motion which proposed to rename roads and buildings in the surrounding area of the site Tiananmen Square, Uyghur Court, Hong Kong Road and Tibet Hill was passed. This showed “support for the freedom and diversity of our borough”.
The repression of Uighur Muslims is particularly sensitive for Tower Hamlets, which has the highest proportion of Muslim residents (38%) of any borough.

Trudeau condemns closed-door espionage trial of Canadian in China
Justin Trudeau has reacted angrily to the closed-door trial of a Canadian man detained in China for more than two years on espionage charges, dismissing it as “completely unacceptable”.
Businessman Michael Spavor, whose hearing finished after less than three hours on Friday, is one of two Canadians detained, in apparent retaliation for Canada’s arrest on a US extradition warrant of the Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, and formally charged last June with spying.
