Pro-China party twists official statistics in a bid to blame economic suffering on pro-democracy movement
The pro-China political party Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), created a new Facebook post entitled “How badly has black-clad violence battered Hong Kong in past one year?”. Along with the post, a set of statistics concerning the economic, crime, and unemployment statuses of Hong Kong were duly shared, with the intent to highlight the unspoken impact of anti-ELAB protest activities and clashes throughout 2019. Factwire, however, looked into these numbers, and most of which are performance data from the first 4 months of 2020, during the height of Hong Kong’s coronavirus outbreak. It is an apparent disinformation campaign attempting to mislead citizens by summing up causes of complicated economic adversities on a single factor.
Looking at the data, the value of total retail sales was compared between the April’s of this year and last year, while the comparison on travelers was drawn between January 2020 and 2019. The post also mentioned unemployment and underemployment in Hong Kong. After verification, these figures were confirmed as only seasonal adjustments for the period from February to April 2020. When issuing the relevant data, the Tourism Board and the Government both mentioned the impact of epidemic outbreak, and consistently both did not mention anti-ELAB social movement as the cause.
The post also compared the crime figures from January to March this year with the same period last year, with information from the Hong Kong Police Force, in which cases concerning robberies and fraud were said not related to anti-ELAB movement.

Surge in cases as cross-border visitors increase
Despite Carrie Lam and her administration team denying any problems with the existing inconsistent social distancing requirements and loopholes of the border entry epidemic control and prevention policies, statistic provided by HK immigration department, Centre of Disease Control and the Health Department for June and July reveals that as more people entered HK via all portals in the last two months, the number of reported COVID cases has surged. Noticeably, more than one thousand people, on average, had entered HK through Lok Ma Chau Spurline during certain dates in June and July. This border entry portal is supposed to be still 'officially closed' to the public. Who are those people who entered through Lok Mak Chau Spurline? The opening up of an additional portals could increase the risk of community contagion in absence of consistent COVID control measures.
