Police Officers Allegedly Steal Drink from Convenience Store, Tackle Citizen Onto Road for No Reason

1445 | Causeway Bay

As the police advanced on Lockhart Road, an officer allegedly took a drink from a convenience store without paying.

Meanwhile, an citizen was pushed onto the ground and beaten down by police officers. He was later released and not arrested, which begs the question why he was pushed down in the first place.

HK Policeman Steals Credit Card to Buy iPhones, claiming Alienation from Friends and Family after Anti-ELAB Movement as Reason

In October 2019, a 28 year-old Hong Kong police officer stole a lost credit card at the cinema in CityPlaza, and used it to purchase 2 iPhones, worthy of about HK$25,000.

The police officer was later arrested and charged with theft. He pleaded guilty in the Estaern Magistrate's Courts on Dec 16, 2020, and was granted bail until his sentencng on Dec 30.

The Defence claimed that the convict was born into a law- abiding and devoting Christian family. After his offence, he felt that he failed the nurturing of his parents and the Police Force, saying that his greed has ruined the Force's reputation.

The Defence also cited how the convict has been alienated by some of his friends and family after the Anti-ELAB Movement as a reason.

Chinese University Professor Participates in Beijing's #ThousandTalentsProgram by Developing Scientific Expertise for China in the #US

In the United States, Song-Guo Zheng, a 58 year-old rheumatology professor and researcher with strong ties to China, was sentenced to 37 months in prison for making false statements to federal authorities as part of an immunology research fraud scheme. He admitted his plan to use approximately $4.1 million in grants from the U.S. National Institute of Health (#NIH) to develop China’s expertise in the areas of rheumatology and immunology.

Zheng was arrested Friday, May 22, 2020, in Anchorage, Alaska, when he was fleeing to China. He was carrying three large bags, one small suitcase and a briefcase containing two laptops, three cell phones, several USB drives, several silver bars, expired Chinese passports for his family, deeds for property in China and other items.

Zheng was a professor of internal medicine who led a team conducting autoimmune research at The Ohio State University and Pennsylvania State University; however, since 2013, Zheng had been participating in a #ChineseTalentPlan, a program established by the Chinese government to recruit individuals with knowledge or access to foreign technology intellectual property.

Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers for the Justice Department said, “American research funding is provided by the American taxpayer for the benefit of American society — not as an illicit gift to the Chinese government."

#ChinaDaily Caught Promoting China with Stolen Photo of #Switzerland, After Criticizing Western Media's Credibility

China Daily, China's state-owned newspaper, released a satirical cartoon via its Twitter account on May 10, 2021, suggesting that "western media lacks credibility".

The account subsequently shared a promotional video on sightseeing in China, which showed a natural landscape with the hashtag “#ChineGlamour”. However, German and French TV station #ARTE(Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) discovered that the landscape image was taken by a travel blogger, and was in fact recorded in #Brienz, Switzerland. The image is then flipped horizontally, and the blogger's watermark cropped out.

The blogger criticised China Daily’s #plagiarism, and mocked them for promoting China with a stolen picture of Switzerland. China Daily had since deleted the video without apologies.
