Exiled Hong Kong lawmaker moves to Australia to boost global pro-democracy effort
Fugitive Hong Kong legislator #TedHui exiled in the UK since December 2020 wrote on his Facebook that he will settle and carry on lobbying work in Australia.
Hui explained that there are fewer full-time Hong Kong political figures in Australia lobbying for stronger international responses against the national security laws in Hong Kong.
Hui continued saying that Australia and New Zealand are important members of the Five Eye intelligence sharing group, consisting of also the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, which have supported the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
"I hope that my lobbying work will bring tougher stance among Australia and New Zealand against China," Hui wrote in the post.
Hui said that he “took in many considerations” before making the move. Among them were strategies for advocacy work and the long-term development of his family.
Hui’s wife, his son and daughter have been in exile with him since he fled Hong Kong three months ago.
“I believe it is important for Hong Kong exiles like me to be in different parts of the world, on different continents,” Hui said, stressing he would be wherever people need him.

Judge Slams Prosecution of #YuenLong721 a wasting of the court’s time
The magistrate Eddie Yip Chor-man spent the morning questioning the prosecution’s opening statement, in which the prosecution mentioned multiple times that a “violent confrontation took place” between the while-clad and black-clad, but did not provide any detail of the confrontation.
Yip questioned that, “Does 'violent confrontation' mean the two parties fought each other?” and “who fought whom first” in the “violent confrontation”.
In response, the prosecution clarified that it was the white-clad who hit the black-clad with rattan canes and wooden sticks while the black-clad counter-attacked.
Magistrate Yip expressed dissatisfaction, blasting the prosecution, “Are you writing a flashback or a time-travelling novel? We’re not making a film. It looks like you have edited that film!”
He later concluded that, “It turns out that the 6 (Chinese) characters (violent confrontation taken place) have encapsulated a lot.”
The Magistrate also questioned why the prosecution detailed a screening event on 16 Jul in the first 2 paragraphs of the statement.
The prosecution ended up admitting that the screening event was irrelevant and was slammed by Yip of wasting time.

US said that the Navy should Combat China and Russia more Decisively as China has the Most Oppressive Threats to the US
A report from the US Department of Defense says that China and Russia are the “rivalry" of the US. The report also suggests that the US Navy combat China and Russia with a “more decisive stance” as China has adopted the “most pressing” approach, which strategically threatens the US.
Heads of the US Marines Corps, Navy and Coastal Guard warn in the report that “the rules of the international order has been attacked again”. The report describes that China and Russia are rivalries of the US as the safety environment has been changing drastically since 2015, especially when China posed a “most pressing long term strategical threat”.
The report further stated China as the US competitor in economic and military potential, causing “long term and holistic challenge to the US”. “China refuses to use a conventional logistic hub, restricts marine freedom, controls the use of key location, impedes US interventions of regional disputes, and replaces the US as the primary choice of marine partner in the globe.”

Beijing Official Calls on US to Stop Meddling in Hong Kong Affairs, Says Chinese Feelings “Not to Be Hurt”
China’s Politburo member and former foreign minister Yang Jiechi said on February 1 that he hopes US President Joe Biden will work on restoring a predictable and constructive Sino-American relationship while calling on the US to stop interfering in issues involving Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity.
This appeal came as all eyes are on whether the two powers’ relations will improve under the Biden administration. Calling on the newly inaugurated president to work towards a peaceful and mutually beneficial relationship, Yang said the US should uphold the ‘one China’ principle and respect Beijing’s position and concerns when it comes to Taiwan. He further called on the US to refrain from meddling in issues surrounding Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang, warning that the feelings of the 1.4 billion Chinese are “not to be hurt”.
Speaking in a video conference hosted by the US’ National Committee on United States-China Relations, Yang stated that issues surrounding Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang are matters concerning China’s core interests and national dignity. Disregard for the feelings of the Chinese, he said, would prove only to be detrimental to the Sino-American relations and US interests. He added that he hopes the US would understand the sensitivity of these issues and tread cautiously, taking care not to undermine the mutual trust between the two countries.

Microsoft says Chinese hackers targeted groups via server software
The Microsoft company and outside researcher said t A China-linked cyber-espionage group has been remotely plundering email inboxes using freshly discovered flaws in Microsoft mail server software.
A cyber-security firm Volexity said that in January it had seen the hackers use one of the vulnerabilities to remotely steal “the full contents of several user mailboxes.”
Microsoft said targets included infectious disease researchers, law firms, higher education institutions, defense contractors, policy think tanks, and non-governmental groups.
China opposes all forms of cyber-attacks, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.

About 200 civil servants asked to leave for refusing to pledge loyalty to the government
In a media interview, Secretary for the Civil Service #PatrickNip Tak-kuen said if public servants refuse to take the oath of loyalty, “it is up to them if they choose to leave the government. It is not a bad thing for our team of civil servants.”
During a press conference on March 8, he was asked again to confirm if there were already 200 public servants who refused to take the pledge, which was a new requirement added by the government in January.
He admitted there were “about 100-200 who did not pledge”. He said that he felt disappointed in them, and will follow the procedures to terminate those staffers.

The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (#CPPCC) opened on March 4. Chairperson Wang Yang gave a report of the Standing Committee's work, in which passages on Hong Kong and Macau issues were cut down substantially.
For the second year in a row, the report omitted wordings such as “Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong” and “High degree of autonomy”. Even “#OneCountryTwoSystems”, which appeared in last year's report, was no longer mentioned this year.
Regarding the SARs of Hong Kong and Macau, the report placed emphasis on issues such as "supporting SAR governments and chief executives governing according to law", "Patriotic people ruling Hong Kong", "encouraging Hong Kong representatives to speak up in support of the National Security Law."

Chinese Congress Delegate Suggests Cancelling English Classes in Mainland Schools
The 4th session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (#CPPCC) opens in Beijing. Before the opening, many delegates spoke to mainland press about potential topics to be discussed. Among them is Xu Jin, Central Committee Member of the elite-ran Jiusan Society, who propose to remove English as a core subject for Chinese students.
“Students and parents have spent much time and effort in order to learn English. However, as our society and economy becomes more developed, does English really matter that much?” he said.
According to his research, he said, computer tools can provide translations for multiple languages, and is already sufficient for everyday usage. He believes with such translation tools that “match university standards,” translation will be one of the first occupations to die out in the age of artificial intelligence.

Danish politician admits fear of personal safety, alleging threats from CCP
Ted Hui, a prominent pro-democracy lawmaker in Hong Kong, who was heavily involved in the anti-ELAB movement went into an exile in the UK in December 2020. Several Danish politicians reportedly offered Hui their assistance. Among them was Anders Storgaard, ex-chairman of the Danish Conservative Youth Committee.
On March 6, Storgaard wrote on his Facebook, stating that a month ago, he received a phone call from local police in Denmark. The officer reminded him that if he is going to leave Denmark in the future, he should first coordinate with Danish intelligence agencies.
Storgaard admitted that he was startled to learn that his personal safety is in danger and he felt his body tremble when hearing the news.
Storgaard expressed that he enjoys international political affairs which brought to him unique experiences like involvement in Turkish hegemonism. However, owing to safety concern, he has to withdraw from most of these involvement.
Although Storgaard did not mention that the threat was coming from the CCP in China, he did pointed out that threats are means commonly deployed to silence dissidents in China. Storgaard stressed that it is wrong to think that he would be silenced.
He further elaborated that his sacrifice is insignificant compared to the young protesters in Hong Kong who risked their lives for democracy. He felt no regrets.
