Unafraid of Authorites' Oppression: The Faces of the Arrested Pro-Democracy Activists in Hong Kong
On January 6, 2021, 53 pro-democracy activists were accused of violating the #NationalSecurityLaw for participating in pro-democracy camp's primary election. Police made arrested at their homes in the early morning.
In less than two months, the police demanded them to report to the police stations ahead of the scheduled date. On Feb 28, 2021, 47 of them were charged with "conspiracy to subverting state powers".
In these #portraits taken earlier, the facial expression of these pro-democracy Hongkongers were captured in close-ups: Some eyed a sharp warning glance; some looked more determined than ever; some were really calm--none of them would surrender.
During the interview, they were more relaxed and peaceful than others. They tried to enjoy freedom to the most as if it was the last time.

Germany's UN envoy urged China to release the 2 captive Canadians, China replied “Good Riddance”
Christoph Heusgen, UN envoy of Germany, attended his last meeting of the Security Council on Tuesday (Dec 22). At the meeting, he call on China to free the two detained Canadian citizens, but China deputy UN envoy Geng Shuang promptly respond with “good riddance”.
As Germany end its 2-years term as non-permanent member of the UN Security Council this month, and Ambassador Christoph Heusgen's retirement after being a diplomat for over 40 years. He utilises his parting message to call on China, “Let me end my tenure on the Security Council by appealing to my Chinese colleagues to ask Beijing for the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Christmas is the right moment for such a gesture,”
However, Geng accused Huesgen of abusing the Security Council to launch “malicious” attack on other members “in an attempt to poison the working atmosphere.” He said, “I wish to say something out of the bottom of my heart: Good riddance, Ambassador Heusgen. I am hoping that the council in your absence in the year 2021 will be in a better position to fulfill the responsibilities...for maintaining international peace and security.”

China Faces European Obstacles as Some Countries Heed U.S. Pressure
Some European countries are starting to block Chinese involvement in their economies, drawing closer to positions advocated by the U.S. amid growing anxiety in Europe over China’s increasingly aggressive geopolitical posture.
Romania and Lithuania are taking broad measures to exclude Chinese companies from certain public procurements. Slovenia, Croatia, the Czech Republic and Romania have suspended public tenders involving Chinese companies for work on nuclear-power plants, highways, rail lines, security scanners and a shipping-container terminal. Greece is debating whether to allow a Chinese shipping company to increase its majority stake in the country’s largest port.
The shift is largely taking place in smaller European countries, adding to tensions within the European Union, where big countries still largely favour maintaining business links with China.

Chinese state media calls Australia a ‘gangster’ as trade war flares
China has accused Australia of being part of an “axis of white supremacy” because of our intelligence alliance with Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The Global times, state-run media mouthpiece, said Five Eyes was taking coordinated action against China. And description about Five Eyes in the Global times was “Five Eyes alliance members are all English-speaking. The formation of four states, except the UK, is the result of British colonisation.”
They continued to censure that the Five Eyes countries had been bought together by the US to become the “center of the West” and the bloc had become an organization targeting China and Russia.
