Pro-democracy #Hongkongers Make 2-Person March to GovHQ, Hoping to Fulfill "Under the Pot" Promise One Day
The HK Police has issued an notice against a march request from LSD and three other civic groups. As such, Ms. Hong and Ms. Wong started by themselves today at 2pm to march from Victoria Park, following the route from previous years. At around 5pm, they had arrived outside of Government HQ.
Ms. Hong pointed out that she had participated in the July 1st march for many years. "If they don't let us walk, then I'll walk myself. I think this is not a issue." Ms. Wong said, a note of resentment in her voice. "There's a lot I want to hold on to, so I'll do what I can ".
Out of the many times she's been to GHQ, Ms. Hong said, the most profound time was on June 12 two years ago, when she had tasted tear gas for the first time in her life here. Seeing that all these places from the past are now behind giant barriers, Ms. Hong can only sigh. Comparing today's two-person march to the million marching in the streets in the past, Ms. Wong lamented, "I would be lying to you if I don't feel down, but I'm trying to keep myself from collapsing." Ms. Hong also pointed out that Hongkongers need rest, but hoped that we understand that "resting is preparing for a longer road ahead."
Ms. Hong said that if there is an opportunity to march, her short term demands would be unfreezing Apple Daily's assets, and releasing all political prisoners. Long term demands would be for authentic, fair elections. She also had a message for Hongkongers: to "see hope in the far off future" and for officials to "not serve the authority, but Hongkongers."
Although the "under the pot" area in LegCo has now been cordoned off, the two of them went as close as possible and took photos with their stuffed animal companions, laughing bitterly, "Hopefully one day, we can all fulfill our promise to meet 'under the pot'."

[Special] Inside the court room of ‘8.18’ case: a group of defendants with grey hair, a startlingly severe sentence
It was 16 April 2021 afternoon in Court number one of West Kowloon Magistracy.

FRONTLINE Wins Peabody Award for ‘China Undercover’
China Undercover, FRONTLINE’s documentary investigating what has been described as the largest mass incarceration of an ethnic group since the Holocaust, was named a 2021 George Foster Peabody Award winner in the News category on Monday. The April 2020 documentary went inside China’s tightly controlled Xinjiang region to explore the Chinese Communist regime’s mass imprisonment of an estimated 2 million Uyghur and other Muslim minorities — and its use and testing of sophisticated surveillance technology on Muslim communities.

NATO Got It Wrong: China Is a Bigger Threat Than Russia
NATO finally addressed China in a half-serious way. The U.S.-led alliance system described the country as a “challenge” in a communiqué. But NATO continues to plod along, way behind the curve. While NATO rightly recognizes Russia as an aggressive threat (the country did invade Ukraine in 2014, and is still there), history’s most powerful democratic alliance system continues to downplay history’s biggest totalitarian threat: China.
