U.S. Bans Seafood From Chinese Fishing Fleet Over Forced Labor and Crew Mistreatment
The Indonesia government last year accused a Chinese fishing company of treating Indonesian fishermen inhumanly, with labors forced to work 18 hours a day, and body of fishermen who die from illnesses are casted overboard into the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced on Friday that it will impose an import ban to the company's seafood, alleging that its fleet of 32 vessels was involved in forced labor, the first time the U.S. imposed such a ban on an entire fleet of vessels.
The Customs and Border Protection said it will immediately detain tuna, swordfish and other products from Dalian Ocean Fishing Co Ltd. The "withhold release order" also ban other end-use products containing seafood from the company, such as canned tuna and pet food.

#AppleDaily Journalists Confused by Hidden Message Reportedly Sent From the Hong Kong Police with a Book About WWII Spies
On June 17, 2021, the Hong Konv police raided the pro-democracy newspaper #AppleDaily and arrested 3 editors and 2 exeuctives on the charge of #NationalSecurityLaw.
The police stayed in the Next Digital Ltd. building for at least 5 hours and the National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force seized a large sum of items, including at least 38 computers that contain news materials.
A reporter recounted that, when he realised the building was being searched at 8 a.m., he took his laptop and worked in another area.
After the building was reopened in the afternoon, some reporters returned to their seats and found their desks in a mess: The police took away both their company’s computers and their hard disks.
Some of them even noticed a book that was originally shelved being placed in a prominent position on the table, after the police raid.
The book is called "Hong Kong Newspaper Company and Spies in the Occupational Period" and is written by Apple Daily’s former editor-in-chief Cheng Ming-yun.
Some journalists questioned whether the police was trying to send a message and criticize them in an obscured way.
However, it remains uncertain whether the police fully understood the content of the book. The book actually “studies how some Hong Kong newspapers appeared to be cooperative toward the authorities, while indirectly resisting the Japanese occupation during the Second World War.

【警搜壹傳媒後「漢奸」書被置檯面 記者：俾說話我聽？】
警方國安處在壹傳媒大樓調查逾5小時後，檢走大批物品，包括最少38部屬新聞工作者的電腦，內有大量新聞材料。有記者表示，早上八時知道大樓被搜，帶同私人電腦到公司另一樓宇工作。中午過後大樓解封，有記者返回座位時發現檯頭一片凌亂，公司的電腦和硬碟被拆走。
有員工發現，原本一本放在不顯眼位置的書、前蘋果日報總編輯鄭明仁的著作《淪陷時期香港報業與「漢奸」》，被人放在檯面顯眼位置，有員工質疑警方是想「俾說話我哋聽」。翻查資料，此書「研究香港報紙在陷日期間如何走上附敵（附逆）之路，到後來，又如何在言論上曲線反日。」

Chinese Official Media Globally Recruit Reporters and KOLs are “The Media Challengers”
The Chinese official media CGTN, who has been fined and revoked license by England during the beginning of the year, recently held a “The Media Challengers” program. It is recruiting English-speaking reporters and KOLs. Those selected will receive a $10,000 bonus and get a full or part-time job in CGTN. Besides the Chinese international students, there are also some from Zimbabwe and Zambia. Some British experts believed that local audiences may think that the international community admired CCP if Western social media KOLs announce official Chinese messages on certain issues.
According to the official Weibo of CGTN, “The Media Challengers” is a “Recruitment of Global Host Reporters and KOLs” and is the first global event. It aims to “inject new power into international communication in a media-converged environment”, to recruit host, reporters, DJ and KOLs for English reports and creation. There are no limits for nationality.

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.

Joe Biden questions whether China is sincere for investigating the source of Wuhan Pneumonia, saying that he and Xi know each other but are not “old friends”
USA President Joe Biden questions whether China is sincere for investigating the source of Wuhan Pneumonia (COVID-19). He shows that although he and President Xi know each other but they are not “old friends”.
Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia attended the press conference after the Summit. He was asked if he contacts Xi Jinping, the president of The People's Republic of China, demanding President Xi to allow WHO to send people to China to do the traceable investigations. Biden replies, “everyone should make clear that we know each other but we are not old friends, just for business”.
Biden shows his suspects for the sincerity of China to co-operate with WHO. “China works hard to shape that he is a responsible and very visionary country, and keeps on saying how they helps the world in anti-pandemic and vaccination. There’s something which doesn’t need to explain to the whole world, and the whole world will see what the result is naturally. The question is: Does China need to investigate till coming to the bottom?”
