Former Director of HK Observatory Refuses to be Government's Collaborator
In mid-2018, former Director of the Hong Kong Observatory, Lam Chiu-yin took up the Convenor position for the Support group on Long-team Decarbonization Strategy group of Hong Kong Sustainability Committee, responsible for public consultation of the Strategy.
In mid-November 2020, the committee announced result of public consultation and related recommendations. Lam, however, didn’t attend the announcement event. He posted on social media that he has resigned from the position in September.
He told reporters that in this “unfinished two-year tenure”, he found that the government did not want to listen to public opinion. Lam said, “some members of concerning authority do not take public consultation seriously. They use the Support Group to back up government views. I do not want to be involved in the muddle.”
Lam, therefore, decided not to take up any public position in the future.

【周日人物】斥諮詢非真心聽民意 辭任減碳小組召集人 拒盲撐政府 林超英：不同流合污 - 20201129 - 港聞
【明報專訊】2018年中，天文台前台長林超英上任可持續發展委員會長遠減碳策略支援小組召集人，負責長遠減碳策略公眾諮詢。今年11月中，委員會公布諮詢結果及建議報告，林超英沒有現身記者會，他在社交平台交代，今年9月底已辭任小組召集人，不會為報告的建議負責。71歲的林超英當了半生公務員，至2009年退休，之後獲政府委任多個環保公職，這次卻不能「善終」。他接受本報專訪時說，在兩年多「未完的任期」，發現政府沒有真心聽市民聲音，「行政機關部分人唔當諮詢係諮詢，小組存在只係支持政府交出嘅文件，我唔可以同流合污」。他決定不會再擔任公職。

China app Developer Expected to Lose HKD 7.8M Investment Money in India and Stated that the Chinese government Could Not Help
The Indian government banned 43 mobile device programs for the national security reason last week, including various apps under China Alibaba. Until now, it has already suspended a total of 267 apps developed in China. Li Jialun, the boss of China Technology Company Club Factory, indicated that he has already accepted the destiny of being ruled out in the Indian market. And he expected that there are heavy investment losses, and has adjusted the development focus to Europe and the United States.
Club Factory is selling low-cost fashion and household products. According to the report from England Financial Times, Li raised US$100 million (HKD 780 million) from the investors to enter the Indian market last year. At that time, Club Factory was at the top of India download ranking and expected to be profitable. He indicated that he could see more opportunities in India than in the crowded market in China.
Li does not know when the Club Factory can resume operations, but he will certainly lose most of the investment. He indicated that the uncertain prospects for several months had frustrated business. “If consumers cannot see you in a long period, they will never come back.” Li also said that the Chinese government could not help at all.

WTO complaint “next step” in tariff dispute between Australia and China, trade ministery says.
The trade minister Simon Brimingham said on 29 November the trade conflicts were not just harming Australia but threated global trade confidence. Canberra will take its complaints to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Due wine tariffs imposed after barley tariffs announced in May, at least 60 ships laden with coal from Australian producers have also been denied permission to enter Chinese ports, leaving them waiting off the coast while Australian authorise attempt to find a resolution to the standoff.
The wine decision would not be part of any immediate complaint to the WTO as it was still being described as an “interim application of tariffs”.

A year after Wuhan alarm, China seeks to change Covid origin story
China's state media People’s Daily claimed in a Facebook post in November 2020 that “all available evidence suggests that the coronavirus did not start in central China’s Wuhan”.
Chinese scientists have submitted a paper for publication to the Lancet – although it has not yet been peer-reviewed – that claims “Wuhan is not the place where human-to-human Sars-CoV-2 transmission first happened”, suggesting instead that the first case may have been in the “Indian subcontinent”.
Claims that the virus had orgins outside China are given very little credence by western scientists. Michael Ryan, director of the health emergencies programme at the World Health Organization (WHO), said last week that it would be “highly speculative” to argue that the disease did not emerge in China.

New Law in France Criticised for Harming Press Freedom, with Protest Leading to Conflicts, 20 Officers Injured and 46 Arrests

New Law in France Criticised for Harming Press Freedom, with Protest Leading to Conflicts, 20 Officers Injured and 46 Arrests
46 thousand people took to the streets of Paris, France, in protest against the new security law for damaging press freedom and offering excessive protection to the police force. The protest triggered clashes between civilians and the police. Police dispersed protestors with tear gas and water cannons while protestors threw stones, glass bottles, etc. The police said that more than 20 officers were injured and 46 arrests were made. The Prime Minister of France Jean Castex announced the establishment of an independent commission to review and redraft the new security law.
The new security law stipulated that anyone that takes photos or videos of the police maliciously are in violation of the law. Oppositions to the law criticised it as damaging to press freedom, which enables the documentation of police brutality. One of the triggers to the protest was a black music producer named Michel Zecler. Zecler was on his way to his studio on Saturday late evening (Nov 21) when he was brutally shoved into his studio and assaulted by three police officers emerging from their police vehicle, who suspected him of violating the pandemic rules requiring the wearing of face mask in public. After Zecler was severely injured and called for help, three colleagues from upstairs came to thrust the officers out of the studio. Zecler said that while he was assaulted, he heard insults of racist slurs directed at him. The whole process was captured by closed-circuit television. President of France Emmanuel Macron called the event unacceptable and shameful and had ordered the police to promptly submit a report on how to restore confidence in the police force and improve relations between the police and the public. The three officers involved have been suspended for investigation.

Australia's Trade Minister: China's trade 'autocracy' hurts Australia, hinders global economic recovery
Although Australia has just signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) with China that seeks to achieve zero tariffs on each other, China has imposed tariffs of up to 212% on Australian wine imports yesterday (28 November). In the face of China's continued trade pressure, Australia's Trade Minister Simon Birmingham criticized China's "dictatorship" in trade, which not only affects Australian businesses, but also hinders the recovery of the global economy from the epidemic. Birmingham said he is prepared to escalate the dispute to the World Trade Organization (WTO) for settlement.
In a television appearance on Sunday (29 November), Birmingham stressed that even though Australia welcomes China's growing economy, he criticized China for becoming overconfident, “what we want to see is that confidence turning for the better, and working with other countries to be able to work together to drive the global economy, rather than being an isolated economic pressure cooker. These actions not only hurt Australian businesses ... but also undermine confidence in the global economy. It also damages the confidence in the global economy, which is not detrimental to the world's recovery from the pandemic.”

After One Year of Detention, Prosecution Documents Are Still Not Ready
As of November 2021, most of the "47 democrats" in Hong Kong have been detained for 8 months after being arrested for "conspiring to subvert state power" under the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL). They were charged over the #PrimaryElection which was held on July 11 and 12, 2020.
On November 29, 2021, a trial took place at the West-Kowloon Magistrates' Court in Hong Kong.
The defence informed the magistrate about their intention of confessing their accusation.
One of the defendants told the magistrate #LawTakChuenPeter that he has dismissed his legal aid counsel and would defend himself. He also made a complaint about the prosecutor who failed to provide him with the relevant documents about his case.
During the trial, most of the time was spent in reporting the progress of translation and document verification. Likewise, most debates are about the document preparation progress of the prosecution and the time they have spent, considering that the defendants have been detained for nearly one year.
After the tug-of-war between the defence and the prosecution, the magistrate asked the Chief Prosecutor #LoTinWaiAndy to set up a timeline and submit their documents accordingly.
The court proposed the next trial date, Feb 8, 2022, for some defendants tentatively. However, the timetable of tge prosecutor was yet to be confirmed.
In the next hour in court, the defence and the prosecution had disputes over the time when documents related to "summary of facts" and the "allegations" would be completed. They both had a different timeframe in mind.
While some defendants would be mentioned Feb 8, 2022, all of them will be presented in court in March 4, 2022. This means the democrats would have been detained for more than a year when the next trial takes place.

Attending Citizens Cheer at #47Democrats under Trial and Jeer Disorganized Prosecution
In Hong Kong on November 29, 2021, the case of the 47 democrats, who were charged by the #NationalSecurityLaw for participating in a primary election in 2020, was trialed in court.
Although the trial was scheduled at 2 pm, the authorities did not bring the defendants currently detained to the court on time. Their families and friends, as well as the citizens attending the trial became agitated after more than an hour of waiting.
"Can the judiciary explain the cause of the one hour delay?" citizens in the court complained, "They [the authorities] do not have respect for the attendees at all!"
The court secretary claimed that there was a problem with the communication system.
In the extended court, the speaker was not turned on until 2:46 pm. After that, the court kept repeating the court regulations.
The defendants were sent to the court after the magistrate #LawTakChuenPeter arrived at the courtroom at 3:30pm.
When entering the court room, some defendants raised their hands to thank the citizens who sent a round of encouraging words.
An hour later, the trial did not have much progress. The chief prosecutor #LawTinWah suggested to split the defendants for separate trial. He proposed one of the groups to be on trial again on Feb 8, 2022. At this time, a male voice was heard saying, "get lost", followed by a round of laughter.
The magistrate did not accept the chief prosecutor's suggestion.
One of the barristers representing the defence sternly criticised the prosecution for procrastination, causing the lack of time for lawyers to give legal advice to the defendants. The comment was received with a round of applause. Nevertheless, the prosecution denied.
At around 5pm, another barrister in the defence reiterated that the legal team "eagerly" wished to receive the required documents from the prosecution in the past 8 months, but it did not happen. Another round of applause followed.
Finally, the magistrate called an end to the day's trial after 7 pm. Citizens in court encouraged the defendants and each other, "Keep it up, Hongkongers!" Some sent Birthday wishes to the detained pro-democracy figures.

HK authorities issued arrest warrants for two democrats in exile
Former Democratic Party legislator #TedHui and former district councillor #YauManChun of Hong Kong are now wanted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (#ICAC) for "allegedly calling on people to boycott and cast blank votes" in the upcoming Legislative Election.
The Department of Justice (#DoJ) of the Hong Kong government claimed that there was "sufficient evidence" to prosecute the two after an investigation into their social media posts.
Both Hui and Yau have declared they were in self exile and no longer in Hong Kong. Hui is currently in Australia and Yau is in the United Kingdom.

Defendants Apply to Lift Restrictions on Reporting Court Proceedings
Towards the end of the court hearing for the #47Democrats on Nov 29, one defending lawyer attempted to seek clarification from Magistrate #LawTakChunPeter over three legal stand points, including asking the court to lift the reporting restrictions set out in the Magistrates Ordinance.
Section 87A of the Magistrates Ordinance prohibits reporting the majority of details of committal proceedings, but defendants have the right to request that the restrictions be removed. Accordingly, several defendants' lawyers asked the court to remove the limitations.
Magistrate Law, in fact, sought assistance from one of the defending lawyers to coordinate the matter. The courtroom broke into laughter as the judge struggled with the overwhelming workload of a case with 47 defendants.
The magistrate decided to adjourn hearing the substantive arguments on the application to January 17, 2022 at 9:30am.
He ordered some defendants to return to the court on February 8, while another court appearance is scheduled for March 4.

Defendants and Supporters Catch a Moment to Cheer On Each Other
Most of the defendants of the #47Democrats case have been remanded for over 8 months. Court hearings have become the only occasion where they can see their families and friends.
When the four-hour-long hearing ended on Nov 29, defendants in the dock stood on the benches and moved close to the glass panels to bid farewell to the court attendees.
Former district councilor Sam Cheung shouted, "the toilet in room 1 has been fixed!" Owen Chow shouted back, "Work out more, Sam Cheung!"
Cheung grinned as he replied jokingly, "Prison life is hard, I got no time for work out!"
Former district councilor Tiffany Yuen told fellow defendant Owen Chow – who is on bail – to write letters back to her. Chow acknowledged her, shouting back “Bye bye Tiffany!”
