Police Ends Investigation on Fujian Triad Attack of RTHK Reporter and Arrests No One
On 11 Aug 2019, a RTHK English News reporter was assaulted by a man with baton, who allegedly belonged to the Fujian triad. The reporter was reporting on the attacks targeting pro-democracy protesters by the āFujian triadā in North Point, when he was beaten and left with bruises in his arm.
The reporter recently received a letter from the police, saying that the investigation was completed and no one was arrested.
When legislator Raymond Chan inquired the incident in the Legislative Council, Christopher Cheung from a pro-Beijing party called BPA, was displeased, criticizing Chan for being "racist" for saying āFujian triadā.
In his reply, police chief Chris Tang only pointed out that each case is investigated based on evidence, and he would not comment on individual cases.

Cu Masks 2/3: Background of the raw materials suppliers
Editorial note: the award of contracts to these two companies raises concerns that the HK-CCP government may have tried to benefit Beijing and Sai Wanās vested interests in Hong Kong by using public money as political gifts to appease them.
Esquel Group
Ms Teresa Yang, the vice chairman of the group and chairlady of HKRITA claims that she ādoes notā have any conflicts of interests because she obtains approval from ITB before purchasing the gauze attachment fabric for the CuMasks from Esquel Group and that she had disclosed her conflicts of interests with the board of directors. Esquel Group will charge the raw materials for the production of CuMasks at cost. Estimated amount is $3.8 million for 450,000 yards of fabrics.
Esquel group was formed by Shanghai textile merchant Yang Yuanlong in 1978. Their production facilities are in Mainland China, Malaysia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. The current chairman is Marjorie Yang. Yang nominated Ms Carrie Lam-Cheng to run for Chief Executive Election in 2017. He was appointed to the Chief Executiveās Council of Advisers on Innovation and Strategic Development in the following year. Teresa Yang is the sister of Majorie Yang and current holding dual executive directorship positions at HKRITA and Esquel Group. She is also a member of the Committee on professional developments of teachers and principals under the Education Bureau.
Action Medical Sundries Ltd (ACM)

It specialises in manufacturing of SS non-woven fabric, SMS non-woven fabric, melt-blown non-woven fabric, and laminated non-woven fabric (under the entity National Bridge Industrial Holdings Ltd in China.) In a nutshell, ACM specialises in manufacturing of non-woven fabrics for hospital uniforms, shopping bags, disposable PE gloves and bed sheets. According to the website of HK Trade Development Sourcing page (Chinese), the managing director of Action Medical Sundries Ltd is Yang Ziran.
Further research conducted by HKCnews revealed that another company of the same group had enlisted twice among the twenty government-subsidised production lines for local made masks under the Anti-Epidemic Fund (that involves $30 billion public funding).

Common knowledge of architecture in Mulan
Editor's Note:
In the west, we have Foucault's panopticon as a metaphor for a higher authority surveilling the common folk. In this article, the author explores how the Chinese government turns this concept on its head with the tulou, where the common folk surveil each other.
(11 Sep) After mainland Chinese netizens watched pirated copies of Disney's Orientalist and novelty-seeking rendition of Mulan, they let loose their unabated criticism: the costumes were not historically accurate, Fujian's tulous showed up in the North China region, the high-end escort-worthy looks of top actress Liu Yifei failed to make up for her rigid expression throughout the movie - it was like her face was paralysed. The mainland market appreciated none of this.
//[Then,] Disney came along to trample on the culture of Chinese architecture. South China's Fujian tulous were haphazardly transported to an arid region.
//Just as the poetic saga of Hua Mulan represents the advanced Han civilization annihilating the savage race of Mongolia's barbarians, the screening of Mulan coincided with the Chinese government destroying all the [native] language textbooks in Inner Mongolia. [The act] inherited the spirit of Mulan and brought more vibrance to the film. If I were the Executive Chairman of Disney, I would have taken the hint. After its screening, I would have bought land from the filming location in Xinjiang and open up a new Disney park. It would welcome the Central Asian and European tourism markets under the Belt and Road Initiative.
