Pro-democracy activists Henry Tong and wife left Hong Kong; Managed to overcome bouts of depression
Henry Tong and his wife Elaine To announced on #Jan17 on their Facebook page that they have left Hong Kong. Due to concerns over the safety of his family and the changing Hong Kong judicial environment, he stated that he “had to physically move away [from Hong Kong]”.
Tong and To (then fiancée) were convicted of rioting in a protest in Sheung Wan on 28 July 2019 (known as the “728 case”) and were later cleared of all charges.
Initially Tong thought the transition should be relatively straightforward, but in reality “it isn’t easy to leave a place where you grew up”. “We have done nothing wrong. Poor governance and policies in the past 20 odd years have turned our lives upside down. In the end it is us who have to go. Why?” He could not help asking himself, in tears with his wife on the plane flying out.
Tong shared his experience of depression after arrival in the first two months. The pain of separation [from his loved ones in Hong Kong] was so raw that he even had suicidal thoughts.
Thanks to the encouragement from his fellow remand prisoners in the 728 case, he managed to overcome this trying time. The group named themselves “turnips” after the worst ever dish they had in custody. Fellow turnips kept reminding him that “the physical distance will not prevent one from pursuing the cause”. Tong said his “primary goals right now are to equip himself and seek opportunities”. He added, regardless of what lies ahead and where he is, his determination will not waver and hope “everyone takes care and we will meet again in Hong Kong”.

He posted a photo of him holding a yellow umbrella at Liberty Square in Taipei. He added two lines of text in the photo, showing “wishing everyone a life that is free and equal” and “looking forward to meeting again in Hong Kong”.
In addition, he stated, “afterall, I will stay true to what I believe regardless of what will happen and where I am”.
Henry Tong and his wife used to be fitness coaches and operated a gym together. They closed the gym following Hong Kong’s LeaveHomeSafe app was mandated on 18 February 2021 due to privacy concerns. They also stopped coaching due to suspicious people lurking around where they worked.

Recruiters say 'no amount of money' can lure #bankers to #HongKong
//Hong Kong's status as a magnet for international financiers is cratering as firms struggle to coax traders and bankers to move to the once vibrant trading hub.
... The crunch comes as the former British colony is dealing with a growing outflow of expatriates who are frustrated with the city's strict #zeroCovid19 policies. They're abandoning a city where low taxes, ease of travel, top class schools and a vibrant night-life once proved a potent lure.
For some candidates, "no amount of money is going to convince a candidate to go to Hong Kong," said Jason Kennedy, founder of London-based recruiting firm Kennedy Group, which hires traders for hedge funds with offices across Asia.//

Canada Diplomatically Boycotts Beijing Winter Olympics
#Canada announces that they will join the diplomatic boycott to #Beijing2022 #WinterOlympics, and will not have a delegation to attend.
Canadian President #JustinTrudeau indicated that many partner countries are extremely concerned about the continuous behaviour on #humanrights violation. "We have raised the concerns on China's human rights issues for years, and we have to reiterate our stand to #China."
The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Canada stated that #Trudeau had a false accusation on China's "human rights violation". China strongly dissatisfies Canada using this reason to diplomatically boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics and has been raised solemn negotiation to Canada.
The spokesperson says that the Canadian government tragically treats the Aboriginals and that the nationwide ethnic discrimination in Canada is severe. China continues that Canada does not qualify to teach or criticise China about human rights. They suggest that Canada should not politicise sports events and should stop interfering with the hosting of the Beijing Olympics, or else, Canada will bring disgrace to itself.

Hong Kong Government's Double Standard: Patriotism Gets Free Pass in Political Union Activities; Complaints About June 4 Commemorations Will Spring Action
Commissioner for Labour Chris Sun Yuk Han was interviewed interview by Commercial Radio on December 28, 2021. When asked about the boundaries that constitutes as “union activities”, Sun claimed that, with activities such as commemorating the #NanjingMassacre, such activities involving patriotism and race are "common sense", and would "not constitute as a violation of the ordinance."
Under the Trade Unions Ordinance, the funds of a registered trade union shall not, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere be applied either directly or indirectly for any political purpose; or be paid or transferred to any person or body of persons in furtherance of any political purpose.
Citing the ordinance, The Labour Department had removed the General Union of Hong Kong Speech Therapist (#GUST) from their registry of unions in October 2021 due to a suspected violation in one of its union activities.
“If it involves patriotism and the importance of the [Chinese] race," Sun said during the interview, "it would be common sense to pay attention to the issue. Unions should do what unions do, but if it is something that should be done under common sense, then do it. You don’t need to worry.”
On the contrary, when asked about commemorating the June 4th #TiananmenMassacre, Sun replied, “if someone submitted a complaint, or if the activities are well beyond what unions should do, we have the responsibility to do something about it.”

（獨媒報導）過去一年，勞工處以工會的活動違反《職工會條例》為由，取消香港言語治療師總工會的工會註冊。勞工處處長孫玉菡接受商台訪問，談及工會活動的界線，他表示悼念南京大屠殺牽涉愛國情懷及民族，「按常理你都會關注」，不需要擔心違反《條例》。惟對於悼念六四會否違反條例，他則表示若收到市民投訴，或工會做出「超越職工會做嘅嘢」，勞工處便會作出行動。

China harvests masses of data on Western targets to fight the Public Opinion War. Central Propaganda Department staff: To Help understand the anti-China network
The US "Washington Post" published an investigative report on Friday December 31, finding that China began to expand online monitoring and censorship overseas at least two years ago. The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and other mainland government departments invite bids from official media and enterprises to build a monitoring system and user profile database to track the information dynamics of Western social media such as Twitter and Facebook in real time, targeting important figures in Western political and business media. The focus includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Sino-US relations. When negative reports and public opinion trends against China, officials will be automatically warned. Some mainland public opinion analysts said that this move is to help Beijing understand foreign anti-China forces in order to fight public opinion wars, but American think tank scholars warned that overseas Chinese will be at risk for everyone’s activities on social media.

華郵：為打輿論戰 內地網絡監控擴海外 建西方政商傳媒資料庫 中宣部單位職員：助了解反華網絡 - 20220102 - 國際
【明報專訊】美國《華盛頓郵報》上周五（12月31日）刊登調查報道，發現中國至少兩年前已開始將網絡監控及審查擴展至海外。北京市公安局及其他內地政府部門向官媒以及企業招標，採建實時追蹤Twitter、Facebook（fb）等西方社交媒體信息動態的監控系統及用戶個人資料庫，以西方政商傳媒重要人物為對象，焦點包括香港、台灣、新疆以至中美關係等，一旦出現針對中國負面報道及輿論走勢時，會自動向官員示警。有內地輿情分析師表明，此舉有助北京了解境外反華勢力來打輿論戰，但美國智庫學者警告境外中國人會因此對在社交媒體活動人人自危。

#University in Hong Kong demands #StudentUnion to hand over 17 years of audit reports in 2 weeks
The Students’ Union of the City University of Hong Kong (#CityU) said it is facing “the largest crisis since its establishment,” as the university management demanded 16 years of audit reports within two weeks and warned of possible punishment if the union did not comply.
In a statement, the student organisation said it had received a letter from the Student Development Services saying that the university was “extremely concerned about the union’s inability to provide the audit reports from 2005 to 2020.”
According to the student union the university also said it may take back its premises and stop the organisation from using “City University of Hong Kong” in its name if it failed to handover the related reports on February 5, 2022.
Acting Internal Affairs of the Student Union, Lee Chun-rui stressed that so much the Union is willing to hand over the audit report, they need more time to compile reports in past 17 years.
In distress and frustrated, Lee said he was only 5 years old, 17 years ago.
