Pro-democracy Lawmakers in HK Vow Mass Resignation over any Disqualification by the Authorities
According to sources, Beijing planned to remove certain pro-democratic legislators from Hong Kong's Legislative Council.
Pro-democracy camp's convener Wu Chi-wai said that all pro-democracy legislators had agreed that once the PRC's National People's Congress Standing Committee (#NPCSC) had decided to disqualify pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong, they would resign en masse without regrets. This is to show the Chinese Communist Party and the world that, they were strongly against the regime's abusive interference in Hong Kong's legislature.
Wu added that if the NPCSC disqualifies any democrats , this would only mean that the democratic camp had incurred Beijing's wrath by carrying their duty to monitor the government.
Wu also criticized Beijing's unconstitutional decision of disqualification, which reflected CCP's blatant disrespect to Hong Kong people's voices and opinions.
Wu slammed the pro-Beijing camp, who supported the dismissal of the democrats for the use of filibustering. Wu stated that the Basic Law had conferred the lawmakers the power to supervise the government and call for the quorum to be counted in the chamber.
Wu criticized that it was ridiculous for the pro-Beijing legislators to palm off the responsibility of 'failing to convene the meeting' to the pro-democrats.
When asked whether he was regretted choosing to remain in the chamber for another year, Wu answered that the core of the problem lied in the government, who cannot even tolerate the lawmakers exercising their power to vet the bills conferred by the council's rules of procedure.

When the Power Authorities Rewrite History: Police Claim They Have No Intention to Siege University in the Battle of CUHK
November 2020 marks the one-year mark of the two battles in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) during the 2019 Anti-ELAB Movement.
As the authorities had notoriously altered the course of events during 7.21 Yuen Long Triad Attack, many were worried that the same would happen to more and more events in the city.
The Facebook page "No Stake Medical Student" refuted an interview with the police published by Ming Pao Daily point by point with news footages.
The following is a translation of this report by "No Stake Medical Student":
"Today, Ming Pao published a long piece of interview with police officer, with the alias 'X', who stated that the police had never intended to attack CUHK.
In turn, did the tear gas grenades that shown in photod fly to the university's stadium by themselves?
Officer X also claimed that “someone threw petrol bomb and it exploded right in front of the [university] president”.
To retort this with evidence: it was literally the Hong Kong Police Force who first shot tear gas grenades toward the university president Rocky Tuan Sung-chi on that day. After this, a petrol bomb was tossed. The protestors did not provoke the conflict aa it was depicted by officer X.
i-Cable News: "Rocky Tuan did not move forward anymore. Suddenly, the police shot at least two tear gas grenades. (A few seconds later), someone on the hillside threw back a molotov cocktail.
https://youtu.be/SNk9gWJWv58?t=42
The following video clips also recorded the police launching the siege by shooting tear gas grenades for no reason. The police were suspected to have been “attacked by laser gun”.
https://youtu.be/ditOvMqvZKU?t=108
https://youtu.be/bMN0YbVy2pk?t=96
The Ming Pao article also mentioned that “Dover urged to retreat”, “No death record because of the police was very restrained”. All are nothing but fallacy.
In face of rewriting history by the opponent, we can only rely on one and all to spread the truth.
By the way, all these police officer “X”, “Y” and “Z” are vividly proved to be false content, would Facebook make a clear tag as “misleading information”?

China's Adaptation of “Hikaru no Go” Causes Controversy with Hong Kong's Handover Storyline
Hikaru no Go, a popular Japanese manga, was adapted into a live-action series by a Chinese film company, and has premiered recently.
The storyline was rewritten to be set in the 1997 Handover of Hong Kong, and the protagonist was portrayed to feel excited for the handover. However, these changes stirred up some controversy.
In an interview, Chinese director Liu Chang claimed that Hong Kong’s handover to China was “a collective memory of every Chinese”, and he chose this as the setting of the drama.
In addition to Hong Kong and Taiwanese netizens, many Chinese criticized the makeup of the character “Zhu- ying” (“Sai” in the original series) as "horrifying".
The director admitted that about 20% of the screen time was “a bit awful”, but it could not be helped due to technological limitations.
The adapted series was produced by iQIYI and broadcast online. In the first episode, the protagonist Shi-guang (“Hikaru”, originally) was out at night with Zhu-ying when they came across a TV news report about Hong Kong’s Handover to China, which said that “Hong Kong finally returned to her motherland after a century of hardships”.
Shi-guang was overwhelmed with fascination, and Zhu-ying asked “what kind of occasion is today?”. Shi-guang said it was “a special day when every Chinese should rejoice."
In addition to mentioning the Handover, the story's setting was also changed entirely to take place in China, despite being a Japanese anime originally.
Viewers had polarized opinions to the adaptation. Some said the drama was “neither fish nor fowl”, and “ruining my childhood memories”. Some Chinese netizens, complimented it, however, and said the “production team did a great job in recreating the setting”, and that “using the 1997 Hanover as the background made me satisfied as a fan to the original manga series and as a Chinese”.
Hong Kong netizens, on the other hand, suspected that the series “took a franchise cherished by a whole generation and used it as propaganda to the youngsters.”
On top of a “Sinicized” plot, another controversy of the live remake was Zhu-ying’s heavy makeup and horrifying appearance.
========
Director: Handover could Strengthen Characters’ “Emotional Underpainting”
In response to these criticisms, Director Liu Chang gave an explanation in an interview with a Chinese media. He said that it was difficult to adapt a Japanese manga into a web drama, and thus he created a remake in his own way, localising certain parts of the plot while keeping the original storyline, popular lines and character relations.
He believed that his adaptation was more than 60% similar to the original.
As to the choice of the Handover as the period setting, Liu stated 3 reasons. First, “the story started with online Go, which is only possible when the Internet was a new technology in China”, which placed the time period around 1997.
Next, he called Hong Kong's Handover to China as “a collective memory to all Chinese”. He believed that this setting could impress the audience.
Last, Liu claimed that the Handover could strengthen the “emotional underpainting” of the characters, “making it more dramatic”.

Police Arrest Three Civilians
Over Call to Cast #BlankVotes in #LegCoElection in Hong Kong
On November 9, 2021, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (#ICAC) in Hong Kong arrested three people for allegedly sharing an online message asking citizens to cast blank votes for the Legislative Council (#LegCo) elections scheduled for December 19, 2021.
The two men and one woman, aged between 29 and 65, are accused of violating the #ElectionOrdinance, which bans the incitement of others not to vote, or to cast an invalid vote during the election period.
The ICAC said its officers seized a number of mobile phones, claiming that the Commision will take resolute enforcement actions to combat conduct manipulating and sabotaging the election.
Just a day ago (November 8, 2021), the Secretary for Security Chris PK Tang criticized self-exiled, now Australia-based activist #TedHui. Tang, a former police commissioner, said that encouraging people not to vote or cast an invalid ballot in LegCo election may violate the national security law.
