Utterly disappointed at the University’s harsh measures, one female member of the cabinet broke into tears when presenting the cabinet’s stance. In a trembling yet stern voice, she stated that the Students' Union will carry on what they believe and speak up on contentious issues.
“We know that making a statement now will not bring any material change. We still want to speak up and make known of our stance.”

To those with #conscience, thank you for glowing in the dark
People always say the university is a miniature society; and even at the university, a free and fair election is impossible in Hong Kong.
On Feb 25, 2021, the management of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) accused the newly elected students' union #Syzygia of potentially breaching the #NationalSecurityLaw and cut tie with the student body.
Around midnight, the students told the press, their supporters, and fellow Hongkongers that they would uphold their stance as much as they can. They even apologize for not being able to carry out fully what they have promised owing to the University's oppression.
To all those with conscience, thank you for glowing in the dark to brighten our nights.

12 Japan firms will kill business deals involving #Uyghur forced labor
//Twelve major Japanese companies have established a policy of ceasing business deals with Chinese companies found to benefit from the forced labor of the Muslim Uyghur minority in China's far-western Xinjiang region.
In a report last year, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute identified over 80 global companies "directly or indirectly benefiting from the use of Uyghur workers outside #Xinjiang through abusive labor transfer programs."
Kyodo News recently asked 14 Japanese companies mentioned by the think tank how they plan to respond.
With the exception of Panasonic Corp., which declined to comment, all companies either denied directly doing business with companies suspected of benefiting from forced labor or said they could not verify the claims against their suppliers.
The 12 include Toshiba Corp., Fast Retailing Co., operator of the Uniqlo casual clothing brand, Sony Corp. and Hitachi Ltd.//

US urged Beijing to reinstate the qualifications of two lawyers in the Hong Kong 12 case and stop suppressing Taiwan
US State Department spokesperson Ned Price indicated on Tuesday (2 Feb), that the Biden administration is in no hurry to engage with China, and said it would do so once it was in “lockstep” with its allies and partners, only then there will be engagement in several areas with China. He also said the US government is deeply concerned by China's attempts to disbar lawyers appointed by families in “12 Hongkongers’ case”, urged Beijing to respect human rights. In addition, he said China should cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure against Taiwan
Ned Price said on Twitter, that the United States is “deeply concerned by China's attempts to disbar and harass human rights lawyers Lu Siwei and Ren Quanniu for representing the Hong Kong 12. We urge Beijing to respect human rights and the rule of law and to reinstate their legal credentials at once.”

Pro-Beijing reforms threaten “end” of HK’s legal system, top lawyer warns.
Paul Harris, the New Bar Association head, has warned that calls from pro-Beijing figures in Hong Kong to radically reform the territory’s judiciary could spell “the end of the present legal system”. Proposed council would amount to “a powerful body which would tell judges what to do” and would be “a major backward step”.
Harris suffered a barrage of criticism from China’s state media and central government last month after he suggested to change some provisions of the security law.

UK to call for UN probe of Uighur camps in China’s Xinjiang province
The UK foreign secretary Dominic Raab would use an address to the UN human rights council on Feb 22 to urge fellow members to address rights violations in China, Myanmar, Belarus and Russia, with particular emphasis on initiating an independent investigation by the UN high commissioner for human rights into forced labour camps run by Beijing.
The UK has taken an increasingly robust stance against Beijing over the past year following the imposition of a national security law in Hong Kong, and mounting evidence that the treatment of Uighur Muslims amounts to genocide.
Raab said that the reported abuses in Xinjiang including torture, forced labour and forced sterilisation of women were extreme and extensive. They were taking place on an industrial scale

On the same day, former Chinese reporter Chou Ze-ming (仇子明) wrote on his #Weibo page ridiculing the Chinese troop commander who survived the clash. He also questioned the casualties of the clash could be more than four.
Chao’s Weibo account was reportedly put to freeze for one year. On February 20, 2021, Chao was even arrested and detained on suspicion of "provoking disturbances". Another citizen, surnamed Chan was also arrested for spreading comments denigrating Chinese soldiers.

Expert Testifies in Hearing: #China likely to attack #Taiwan within five years
//China's military modernization plus US failure to build robust coalitions to counter Beijing's regional aggression could lead to a Taiwan takeover
“Cross-strait deterrence is arguably weaker today than at any point since the Korean War,” said Oriana Skylar Mastro, a fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies who specializes in Chinese military policy. She was speaking at a virtual hearing Feb. 18 before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which was examining U.S. deterrence policies aimed at preventing a future attack on Taiwan by Beijing.
“Impressive military modernization on the part of China, U.S. failure to build robust coalitions to counter Chinese regional aggression, and [Chinese President] Xi Jinping’s personal ambition, all have coalesced to create a situation for Beijing in which the benefits of using force more and more are becoming so high that they outweigh the costs,” she continued.
“I believe the greatest threat now is that Beijing will launch a military operation to force ‘reunification,’ in their words, irrespective of Washington’s or Taipei’s policies or actions,” Mastro said. She added that Chinese military leaders have told her they believe Xi will conclude that the Chinese military will have the capability to occupy and seize Taiwan in a year or two even as some Western analysts predict that it is more likely five years or more from that goal.//

Chinese Coast Guard Enters Waters Near Diaoyu Islands for 2 Consecutive Days after the Coast Guard Law Passed
After the China Coast Guard (CCG) Law taking into effect this month, Chinese coast guard vessels entered the waters near the Diaoyu Islands (known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan) for two consecutive days. The islands are under sovereignty dispute with Japan.
According to Japan's 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, two Chinese Coast Guard vessels had entered Japanese territorial waters near the Japan-claimed Senkaku Islands on Tuesday at around 4:45 a.m. Japanese authorities said that the Chinese Coast Guard vessels turned their bow toward two Japanese fishing boats and tried to approach them. The Japan Coast Guard deployed patrol boats to ensure the safety of the fishing boats and issued a warning to the Chinese Coast Guard, asking them to leave the territorial waters.

12 Japanese firms will end business deals involving Uighur forced labour
Last year (2020), the Australian Strategic Policy Institute report identified over 80 global companies “directly or indirectly benefiting from the use of Uighur workers outside Xinjiang through abusive labou\r transfer program.” And it mentioned 14 Japanese companies.
12 Japanese companies, including Sony Corp., Hitachi Ltd., and Fast Retailing Co., an operator of Uniqlo, responded to cease or consider ceasing business with business partners found to be using forced labour.
As many foreign companies rely on self-reporting of the human rights situation by the firms themselves, they are faced with the challenge of grasping the situation beyond direct business partners.

Indian pharma firms go local seeking to end reliance on China
Indian drug companies are looking to local makers of so-called active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) or trying to make them in-house in a bid to end their reliance on China as ties between the two countries soured after a deadly border clash last June.
Disruption to supplies from China due to the COVID-19 pandemic was also a major factor driving them to reduce reliance on China in the supply of API.
Executives at India’s Cadila Healthcare, Cipla, Sun Pharmaceutical and Biocon said they were aggressively working on reducing the dependence on the richer rival for raw materials.
