#47democrats in Hong Kong detained for almost a year while awaiting trial
The national security case involving 47 pro-democracy figures continued its third time hearing on February 8, 2022 in a Hong Kong Court.
The case was again adjourned for next hearing scheduled on February 28, 2022. By then, most of the defendants have remanded in custody for almost one year.
The 47 defendants – including activist #JoshuaWong, former law professor #BennyTai and ex-lawmakers #LamCheukTing, #WuChiWai and #LeungKwokHung – stand accused of taking part in an unofficial primary election in July 2020 with a view to subverting the state power.
Only 14 of the accused democrats are currently on bail pending trial. Others have been in custody for almost one year while they await trial.

Douglas Todd: 5 reasons to question Vancouver's label as the 'anti-Asian hate crime capital of North America'
Some international media outlets this year labelled Vancouver “the anti-Asian hate crime capital of North America.”
They focused on a Vancouver police report that showed hate incidents against East Asians (not “Asians,” as the articles misstate) jumping by a startling 717 per cent in the year that COVID hit, up to 98 from 12.
Bloomberg,The Guardian and other media outlets then rushed to compare the Vancouver hate-crime unit’s data to figures from some large Canadian and U.S. cities and concluded that there had been more incidents in this relatively small West Coast city.

Swedish Gold Medalist says China's hosting of Olympics 'extremely irresponsible' amid human rights abuses
//Swedish speed skater Nils van der Poel, who won two gold medals at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, on Sunday, February 13, 2022, condemned the International Olympic Committee (#IOC) as being "extremely irresponsible" in handing over the games to a country that "violates human rights as blatantly" as China does.
25-year-old Nils van der Poel took gold in the men's 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter speed skating competitions at the 2022 Winter Olympics, setting the world record in the latter.
...He compared the games to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.
He said that the Olympics is a "fantastic sporting event where you unite the world and nations meet," but he added that "so did Hitler before invading Poland, and so did Russia before invading Ukraine," referring to the German invasion of Poland in 1939 and the invasion of Ukrainian territory in Crimea by Russia in 2014.
As for Beijing's hosting of the Winter Games, Van de Poel said, "I think it is extremely irresponsible to give it to a country that violates human rights as blatantly as the Chinese regime is doing."//

Mocking US of pandemic failure, Xinhua net's post in Weibo elicit overwhelming criticism from China netizens
The Chinese state media Xinhua net official Weibo posted an article this week criticising the US again for "being ineffective in pandemic spread prevention", saying that "the cumulative number of cases confirmed in the US exceeds 60 million" and that "netizens lament the failure of the US to fight the pandemic". The post, those comment section was open, triggered an overwhelming criticism from netizens accusing the China government of its brutal implementation of the Covid-Zero policy. Xinhua net eventually close the comment feature, and the comments from self-media were also blocked.
China's pandemic trend has always been a sensitive topic, any discussion on such social issues is often blocked by internet administrators. However, criticism of US pandemic treatment has been an exception. On Monday (Jan 10), the Xinhua net mocked US failure in pandemic policy for having more than 60 million confirmed cases.
