#NationalSecurityLaw Empties "Democracy Walls" in All Hong Kong Universities
At the start of the term in 2020,
some universities in Hong Kong had installed security gates at the entrance and removed most of the pro-democracy posters on campus.
In 2021, university students' unions were de-recognised by the university management, despite being elected by students.
Pro-democracy students continued to be arrested and charged by the authority.
Meanwhile, the government imposed National Security Education on school curriculum.
In September 2021, the Stand News captured in a series of photos how the "Democracy Wall," a public bulletin on university campus where students express their opinions, looked like in 8 universities in Hong Kong.
Following the implementation of the National Security Law in 2020, only torn paper scraps and vaguely visible pro-democracy slogans can be found on these "Democracy Walls."
Looking from a distance, these boards are almost completely empty.
In Hong Kong in 2021, student unions, Democracy Walls, and freedom of speech have seemingly all fallen like dominoes in universities, surrounded by red lines.

#Evergrande and other Chinese property giants have sizeable off-balance sheet debt: #JPMorgan
//Investment bank JPMorgan has estimated that troubled Chinese property giant Evergrande and many of its major rivals have billions of dollars worth of off-balance sheet debt that, once added on, ramp up their leverage ratios.
"Instead of true deleveraging, we think Evergrande has shifted some of the interest-bearing debt to off-balance sheet debt," JPMorgan's analysts said. "Commercial papers, wealth management products and perpetual capital securities, etc, which are not officially counted as debt."
They estimated Evergrande's "net gearing," as debt as a ratio of a firm's equity is known, was at least 177% at the end of the first half of the year, instead of the 100% its accounts reported.
"It is possible that the real gearing could be even higher, as data on some off-balance sheet debt is not publicly available," JPMorgan added, saying the "disguised" debt as it called it added up to 55% of Evergrande's overall debt.
Other major firms whose gearing levels were likely to be higher than formally reported included R&F Properties (2777.HK) at 139% versus the 123%, #SunacChina Holdings (1918.HK) at 138% versus 87% reported and #CountryGarden (2007.HK) at 76% versus 50% reported.//

China at the UN: Choking Civil Society
The Chinese government’s crackdown on freedom of expression, independent thought, and civil society now extends beyond its borders. In the United Nations, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) misuses its seat on the United Nations Economic and Social Council’s Committee on Non-governmental Organizations (NGO Committee) to block applications from civil society organizations seeking UN consultative status. Consultative status enables NGOs to participate in UN activities, including hosting side events, gaining access to sessions, speaking at UN events and delivering statements.

Hong Kong Judge Questions Arrested Pro-democracy Barrister: Can You Access Internet in Jail?
Barrister Tonyee Chow Hang-tung is a pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong and the former Vice Chairperson of Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China. The now-disbanded Alliance was known for organizing the annual June 4 vigil in Hong Kong to commemorate the victims of the Tianamen Square Massacre in Beijing in 1989.
She was arrested for state subversion by the Hong Kong authority.
The authority accused her of calling on citizens to participate in June 4th commemorative event in 2020, which was banned by the government. Chow was charged with "inciting others to participate in an unauthorised assembly".
The case was heard in Hong Kong's West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts by Judge Chan Wai-mun on October 5, 2021.
Chow, who has been detained since her arrest, stated that she would defend herself and make her own statement. She will argue whether it is constitutional to restrict the dispute to freedom and whether the related article she disseminsted can ce considered as an "incitement".
Due to the limited resources she has when on remand, Chow asked for one to two weeks' time for preparation.
The Judge then questioned her, “Where did you find the law books in jail? Can you access Internet?” The query made citizens attending the session laughed.
Chow responded that she would rely on her professional knowledge of law and seek help from friends.

#China again blocks #WikimediaFoundation’s accreditation to World Intellectual Property Organization
//China today blocked the Wikimedia Foundation’s bid for observer status at the World Intellectual Property Organization (#WIPO) for the second timeafter the Foundation’s initial application in 2020.
WIPO is the #UnitedNations (#UN) organization that develops international treaties on copyright, patents, trademarks and related issues. China was again the only country to object to the accreditation of the Wikimedia Foundation as an official observer.
The Foundation will reapply for official observer status in 2022, but it will only be admitted by WIPO if China decides to lift its blockade.
WIPO’s work, which shapes international rules that affect the sharing of free knowledge, impacts Wikipedia’s ability to provide hundreds of millions of people with information in their own languages
As in 2020, China’s statement falsely suggested that the Wikimedia Foundation was spreading disinformation via the independent, volunteer-led #WikimediaTaiwan chapter. The United States and the group of industrialized countries at WIPO — which also includes many European Union member states, Australia, Canada, the Holy See, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom — expressed their support for the Foundation’s application. Since WIPO is generally run by consensus, any one country may veto accreditation requests by non-governmental organizations.//

Behind the Rise of U.S. Solar Power, a Mountain of Chinese Coal
Solar panel installations are surging in the U.S. and Europe as Western countries seek to cut their reliance on fossil fuels.
But the West faces a conundrum as it installs panels on small rooftops and in sprawling desert arrays: Most of them are produced with energy from carbon-dioxide-belching, coal-burning plants in China.
Concerns are mounting in the U.S. and Europe that the solar industry’s reliance on Chinese coal will create a big increase in emissions in the coming years as manufacturers rapidly scale up production of solar panels to meet demand. That would make the solar industry one of the world’s most prolific polluters, analysts say, undermining some of the emissions reductions achieved from widespread adoption.

HK Documentary about #PolyUSiege Wins Grand Prize at International Documentary Festival in Japan
The documentary "Inside the Red Brick Wall", chronicling the 13-day police siege of #PolyU during the #AntiELAB movement, has won the grand prize at Japan's #Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival. This honor has never been won by a Hong Kong film in its three-decade history, until now.
The film was selected as the best Hong Kong film of 2020 by the Hong Kong Film Critics Society. However, it had been shunned by local cinemas after pro-government media labeled it anti-police and anti-government. Its premiere was cancelled only hours before its showing by the hosting cinema.
The panel of judges noted that the documentary showed citizens and students being trapped by the police inside Polytechnic University; it documented the reality of youngsters, including minors, as they faced these dire circumstances, whether or not they had food. Live footage also showed photographers being fired upon within the campus
[editor's note: according to statistics from Hong Kong Journalists Association, 3 journalists had been shot with pepper balls at close range].
The film itself carries historical significance.
The film's directors, listed as "Hong Kong Documentary Filmmakers", thanked the organizers through a pre-recorded video. They said that under Hong Kong's current oppressive environment, they must regroup and be formless like water, but believed that "we'll walk together again".
"To all who believe in freedom", they added, "The only response to oppression is resistance. We will keep moving, and keep on filming."

Independent Investigation: World Bank’s Seniors Put Pressure on Staff to Improve China's Business Environment Ranking for a Good Impression
An independent investigation stated that former and current seniors of the World Bank put pressure on employees, asking them to improve the ranking of China in “Doing Business 2018” by the Bank of the World. World Bank then made a statement to announce the suspension on publishing “Doing Business 2018”. The seniors include former President, who is also the Korean American Medical Professor, Jim Yong Kim, and current International Monetary Fund President, Kristalina Georgieva.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated that the Chinese government attached importance to optimising the business environment with an excellent result. They also hope the World Bank will conduct a comprehensive investigation under internal review procedures on relevant issues based on facts, rules, professionalism and objectivity. As a result, they can maintain the professionalism and credibility of the Global Business Environment Report and the reputation of the World Bank and member states.

No Regrets to Civil Disobedience after "Watching my Fears Become Reality": #FigoChan and 7 Pro-Dem Leaders Plead Guilty to Unlawful Assembly
Figo Chan, former convenor of Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF), pleaded guilty to participating and organizing an unlawful assembly on July 1, 2020, the day on which the National Security Law took effect.
Also charged were 7 other pro-democracy leaders, including former legislators Leung Kwok-hung (#LongHair), Wu Chi-wai, and Eddie Chu.
Their case was heard in court on October 7, 2021. Among the eight being charged, seven of them pleaded guilty to the charges, in obedience of the principles of civil disobedience.
In his petition to the court, Chan said that after watching videos of that day's protests, he felt that Hong Kong had become unfamiliar since that day.
"[Hong Kong] only permits voices that support the government, and continually suppresses those who do not," he said. "As a result, numerous political parties and civic organizations disband one after another, Hongkongers have left the city in droves, and freedom and rights due to citizens are gradually disappearing."
"Looking back and watching my fears become reality, how could I regret speaking up through peaceful civil disobedience and protest?"
"May Hongkongers keep hope in our hearts", he added. "Let's hang on to each other and get through these difficult times."

Japanese Defence Minister: Firmly Defend Senkaku Islands Territory, Taiwan is Important in Japan’s Energy Supply Lifeline
Japanese Minister of Defence Kishi Nobuo indicated in an interview with CNN that the Senkaku Islands, China-called “Diaoyu Islands”, is “undoubtedly the land of Japan”, and Japan would resolutely defend the territory while facing threats from China. He also said Taiwan is very important to Japan -- anything happening in Taiwan could directly affect Japan. The Japanese government will closely monitor Taiwan’s issues in a crisis management mode.
CNN: Kishi's speech is like preparing for a potential Sino-Japanese showdown
Kishi indicated that when facing China's actions in Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands) and in the East China Sea, the Japanese government has already stated their determination to maintain the territory, and the number of Coast Guard ships dispatched is also more than that of Chinese ships. He stated there is no dispute of the Senkaku Islands problem existing between Japan and other countries.
