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.”

Chinese Hackers Suspected of Intruding into US Government Computer System, National Security Employees at Risk of Personal Data Breach
Reuters quoted five sources on 3 February as saying that hackers suspected to be of Chinese origin have taken advantage of vulnerabilities in SolarWinds’ software to intrude into US government computers last December. This was the second time the American government computer system was reported to have been compromised since the Russian invasion last December.
According to two sources, FBI investigators have recently discovered that the National Finance Center, the USDA-administered unit responsible for the federal payroll, was one of the government agencies under attack. This has led to worries that the data of tens of thousands of US government employees’ data might have been stolen.
The National Finance Center is responsible for handling the wages of the employees of multiple government organizations, which include agencies involved in national security matters like the FBI, the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Treasury. The Center holds the employees’ identity card numbers, phone numbers, personal email addresses and banking information.

China spends $300,000 on US influencers ahead of Beijing Olympics
China has turned to social media influencers to help clean up the country’s image as the Winter Olympics get underway in Beijing this week.
The build-up to the Games, which will unfold within a huge Covid-secure “closed loop”, has been overshadowed by controversies ranging from human rights concerns to Peng Shuai and warnings about snooping on competitors by the Chinese government.
Adopting the catchphrase “Together for a shared future”, China’s ruling Communist Party and the International Olympic Committee hope the rancour will be forgotten once the Games get into full swing.

Beijing 2022: Blind eyes come cheap at the IOC
Upon arrival in Beijing, Olympic athletes are being greeted with hazmat suits and malware. They can bring burner phones to guard against the Chinese stealing from them, but the over-the-top, performance-art COVID-19 protocols are unavoidable. There’s an isolation center waiting for any defiance.
Is there someone phishing via my IG account? Are these COVID tests legit?
It’s not the traditional Olympic Spirit. But it is the spirit of Beijing 2022.
