Indie Film Organization criticises Hong Kong authorities for “doing everything possible” to censor films
#YingEChi, an independent film distributor in Hong Kong, was accused of “inciting riots and spreading Hong Kong independence messages” by pro-Beijing media.
The group is the distributor of “Inside the Red Brick Wall”, a documentary that covered the pro-democracy protest and thr police siege that occurred at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) in 2019.
Not only was Ying E Chi’s annual funding halted by the Arts Developments Council (#ADC); Ying E Chi was also unable to hold its Short Film Marathon scheduled on July 10, 2021.
In its open house event on July 10, art director Vincent Chui said, the only thing they can do is to push its limits behind the red line of the film industry.
Chui criticised the Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (#OFNAA) for doing “everything possible” to censor controversial films. “In the coming future they might even have to review wedding videos and only allow licensed restaurants to play those videos on a wedding day”.

#JudicialReview Denied After HK's Secretary of Justice Decides to Not Prosecute Arrestees in #AnimalAbuse Case
In Hong Kong in February 2020, two people were arrested in an alleged animal abuse case in Sum Tseng HongKong Garden, after 30 injured and dead animals were found in a nearby hillside of the housing estate.
However, the Secretary of Justice in Hong Kong has decided that nobody is to be prosecuted in this case.
A citizen who adopted an injured cat in the case applied for a judicial review at the High Court.
On June 30, 2021, Judge Lee Won-tung announced that the judicial review was denied. Lee emphasized that the Secretary of Justice is "not obligated" to explain her decision within a certain amount of time. Even if the applicant wins the judicial review, the court claimed that nobody can be prosecuted due to the "statute of limitations".

China threatens to withhold vaccines, pressuring Ukraine to withdraw its support for Xinjiang investigation.
The Associated Press (AP) reports that Ukraine is pressured by China, which threaten to withhold COVID-19 vaccines from exported there, to withdraw from a statement by the UN Human Rights Council on sending independent observers to Xinjiang to investigate human rights issue. China welcomes the decision and said it reflects the spirit of independence.
Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations issued a statement at the UN Human Rights Council last Tuesday (22 June) on behalf of more than 40 countries, including Ukraine, urging China to allow immediate access for independent observers to Xinjiang. China warned that it would block at least 500,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines shipment to Ukraine unless it pulled out from the statement, according to the Associated Press. Ukraine withdrew from the statement on Thursday, and AP received written response from China saying that its “provision of vaccines and anti-epidemic materials to other countries is not meant to gain benefits from other countries and there isn’t any geopolitical purpose nor any political conditions attached.”

No cults, no politics, no ghouls: how China censors the video game world
In the years after it was founded in 1999, the Swedish video game company Paradox Interactive quietly built a reputation for developing some of the best, and most hardcore, strategy games on the market. “Deep, endless, complex, unyielding games,” is how Shams Jorjani, the company’s chief business development officer, describes Paradox’s offerings. Most of its biggest hits, such as the middle ages-themed Crusader Kings, or Sengoku, in which you play as a 16th-century Japanese noble, were loosely based on history.

Chinese-Owned Businesses in Australia Squeezed on Both Sides as Tensions Take Toll
Three years ago, the Kilikanoon winery in Australia’s picturesque Clare Valley appeared to gain an export advantage when it was bought by Yantai Changyu Pioneer Wine Co., China’s largest wine producer.
This year, it hasn’t sold a single bottle to China.
A worsening diplomatic and trade dispute has choked off exports of Australian wine to China, including the 350,000 liters of premium Shiraz and other varietals that Kilikanoon Wines Pty. Ltd. had been shipping to the country each year. China, angered by Australia’s call last year for an international investigation into the origins of the pandemic, has imposed tariffs and restrictions on wine and other commodities such as barley, coal and even lobster.

Publishers "Should Know Where the Red Line Is", Hong Kong Official Says Ahead of First Book Fair under #NationalSecurityLaw
Hong Kong's annual book fair opened on July 14, 2021. Since last year's fair was cancelled under the menace of the pandemic, this year's fair is the first one to take place after Beijing's imposition of the #NationalSecurityLaw.
The common concern is whether the Trade Development Council (#TDC) as the organizer would censor any books, and whether the participating publishing houses would undergo self-censorship.
The vice director of TDC Chow Kai-leung claim that they would not examine the books, but the publishers "should know where the [red] line is".
When asked whether the poetry of Liu Xiabo is allowed, Chow said it would be decided by the national security police.
In the 2019 fair, some publishers set up a pro-democracy #LennonWall in the fair; this year, however, there is nothing as such.

Hundreds Gather in Toronto in Solidarity with HK, Decries 7.21 Police Collusion with Triads
A flashmob of over 200 gathered in Toronto on Sunday July 18 ahead of the two-year anniversary of the 7.21 Yuen Long attack, when a group of white-clad gangsters attacked citizens in Yuen Long MTR Station. Attendees called for support of press freedom in Hong Kong, and protested against the Hong Kong Police's collusion with triads, as highlighted by the events of 7.21.
The event was organized by the groups Toronto Association for Democracy in China, and Torontonians Stand with Hong Kong. Many attendees held up apples and copies of Apple Daily; others held up large banners of lyrics for "Glory to Hong Kong".
Jane, a spokesperson for Torontonians Stand with Hong Kong, said that while Canadians enjoy democracy, rights, and freedom at home, the same are being stripped away from Hong Kong every minute. Hongkongers who now live as immigrants in Canada should make use of their special identity and speak up on behalf of Hong Kong. She also called for Canadians to boycott Chinese products, as well as the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Blinken: "Tiananmen" is a Synonym of China's brutal actions, the protest at the time echoes Hongkongers' struggle today
On the 32nd Anniversary of the June 4th Massacre, the US Secretary of State Blinken issues a statement saying that Tiananmen had already been a synonym of brutal actions by the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1989. He also describes the Tiananmen demonstrations in 1989 echoing the struggles for democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.
The statement said that the people at the Tiananmen Square by then had a noble and simple request: Recognize and respect the human rights. Blinken criticises the PRC authorities for failing to meet the people's request and responded it with violence. He said that the courage of the protesters on the June 4th incident reminds him never stop seeking transparency on the events of that day, including a full accounting of all those killed, detained, or missing. He also pointed out that the Tiananmen demonstrations echoes the struggles for democracy and freedom in Hong Kong, where a planned vigil to commemorate the event was banned by local authorities.
He emphasises that the US will continue to stand with the people of China as they demand their government to respect universal human rights.

Norway says cyber attack on parliament carried out from China
Norway said on Monday that a March 10 cyber attack on parliament's e-mail system was carried out from China, calling on authorities there to take steps to prevent such activities.
"The cyber attack in March compromised the e-mail systems of our most important democratic institution. We will always react to these types of intrusions," Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Soereide said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
An investigation by the country’s intelligence services had revealed the attack came from "actors operating out of China", the ministry said. "Several of our allies, the EU, and Microsoft have also confirmed this."

Trudeau calls for probe into China’s mistreatment of Uyghurs as Beijing attacks Canada’s record on reconciliation
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau challenged China to publicly and transparently probe its mistreatment of Muslim minorities as Beijing and its allies call for an independent investigation into Canada’s treatment of Indigenous peoples.
“In Canada, we had a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Where is China’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission?” the Prime Minister said Tuesday during a news conference when asked about the Chinese Communist Party’s push for a probe into crimes against Indigenous peoples, and especially children, in Canada.

The two were among the several senior Apple Daily staff arrested in June on suspicion of conspiracy to collude with external forces to endanger national security.
Police claimed that those arrested were playing a key role in the publication of articles that called for foreign sanctions against HK and mainland officials.
Earlier on the same day, another former senior employee, Lam Man-chung, from the newspaper was also arrested for the same alleged offence.
