57% Hongkongers tend to "live with COVID" as "zero-COVID" is unreachable
The Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI), a research institution in Hong Kong, conducted a survey by asking 7,000 Hong Kong citizens to evaluate the existing COVID19 measures.
57% of the respondents believe that "living with the virus" is more realistic than having zero COVID19 cases. Almost 90% of the pro-democratic citizens shared this view.
Among the non-democratic supporters, 40% supported the view of "living with the virus" and while another 40% looked for a "zero case" scenario.
The supporters and the opponents to the implementation of population-wide compulsory testing are divided into 41% in respective fraction; however, the opposition to other COVID-19 measures was more than half.
55% of the respondents oppose "3-dose vaccination". 53% of them disagree to shut down more venues. At last, 54% of them do not want gathering regulation to be tightened.
The survey reveals that the people opt for "living with the virus" as having "zero COVID cases" is almost impossible due to the continuous mutation,
The spokeperson of the institute Dr Chung Kim-Wah pointed out that there is a gap between "believing that the policy is helpful" and "supporting the policy". This reflects the tendency of Hong Kong people to take risks in order to return to their normal life.

Canadian and Taiwanese Artists Uses Music and Drawings to Show their Support on Human Rights
#BeijingWinterOlympics has begun since #Feb04 with boycotts voices circulating the world.
Some artists show their dissatisfaction with #HumanRightsViolation in China with paintbrushes and music notes. A Canadian painter creates "Genocide Games" to mock Beijing Winter Olympic while a Taiwanese band composes "The Times Looking After the Righteous (#時代看顧正義的人)" to criticise dictatorship.
Both works show support to the belief in democracy and freedom.
The Canadian artist, Ricker Choi, is originally from Hong Kong but emigrated to Canada when he was 13. Yet, he is always concerning the situation in Hong Kong. Ricker has created lots of artworks since 2019, supporting Hong Kong democracy movements.
When the winter Olympics was approaching, his heart was filled with emotions. As a result, he picked up his pen and produced a picture "#GenocideGames".
Ricker said, "China claimed to improve the human rights issues in 2008 #OlympicGames, to be free, democratic and open. In fact, the reality is, however, the opposite. They suppress #Uyghurs and #Tibetans, persecuting Hong Kong, threatening Taiwan. Letting them host the Olympic Games again is the greatest sarcasm."

CityU student union under national security investigation following parting ceremony in campus
City University of Hong Kong (#CityU) Student Union is being investigated by national security police after an on-campus parting ceremony on February 14, sources claimed.
On February 7, the university announced it would take back the student union's premises in seven days, saying the union failed to submit its audit report for years.
The union held a farewell ceremony at its office on the afternoon of February 14 before moving out.
Around 30 students dressed in black gathered at the student union office, before leading the march on campus.
Over 100 have joined the march at its peak.
It was understood that the National Security Department has begun gathering evidence on campus.
When asked if CityU had reported the protest to the authorities, the school said: "the national security issues that arose was unforeseen. As it had attracted widespread attention, it didn't necessitate the school's reporting the incident."

US Lawyer Loses Appeal over Police Assault Case, but Vows to Continue Fight until Justice Prevails
The High Court has dismissed an American lawyer, Samuel Phillip Bickett’s appeal against his conviction and sentence for assaulting a police officer. The judge ruled that police guidelines on use of force were “irrelevant” to the case, which she said happened “during a most violent chapter in the history of Hong Kong.”
Bickett is a former compliance director at the Bank of America. His confrontation against an off-duty police officer occurred in Causeway Bay MTR station on December 7, 2019. He was accused of intervening in a scuffle between the officer and a protester, even though the officer refused to produce his warrant card to prove his identity.
He was sentenced to four and a half months of jail in June 2021 for assaulting a plain-clothes police officer. Bickett won the application for an appeal after serving more than six weeks in a prison. He was released on HK$150,000 bail in August 2021.
After his appeal was dismissed, Bickett was ordered to serve the remainder of his sentence. Bickett posted a lengthy statement addressing the problems in the verdict, and said that he will appeal the decision and “continue to fight to overturn the verdict.”
He also questioned whether Hong Kong’s laws “apply equally” to police officers and other members of the public.
His full statement is available on his Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/rsvr03b/posts/10106510477672601
In an interview with local media, Bickett thanked his supporters, including over a hundred letters he received in prison from friends and strangers.
He said that they have been sources of his strength to continue the fight for justice. He also mentioned that he is hoping to set up support groups for the rights of foreigners in Hong Kong prisons, and connecting them with the local community.

Why China Is Freaking Out Over Biden’s Democracy Summit
The Chinese government is furious about U.S. President Joe Biden’s Summit for Democracy, and it wants the world to know.
A week before the summit was to take place, the Chinese government hastily convened its own democracy forum and published a white paper called “China: Democracy That Works,” as well as a report titled “The State of Democracy in the United States,” in which it claims to “expose the deficiencies and abuse of democracy” in the United States. These actions have been accompanied by countless articles, press conferences, and, of course, tweets about China’s “democracy” and its alleged superiority to U.S. democracy.
So why is the Chinese government reacting so strongly to Biden’s virtual summit?

Hong Kong Chief Executive's popularity remains at historic low as 34% respondents gave her zero mark : survey found
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institution's (#HKPORI) survey showed that the latest popularity rating of Chief Executive Carrie Lam is 31.9 marks, with 34% of respondents giving her 0 mark. Lam's net popularity stands at negative 53 percentage points.
On a scale of 0 to 10, people’s ratings on the five core social indicators ranked from the highest to the lowest are “rule of law” (5.13), “freedom” (5.09), “prosperity” (4.97), “stability” (4.94) and “democracy” (4.25).
Compared to the last survey, the rating of “efficiency” dropped significantly, while the ratings of “social welfare sufficiency”, “civilization”, “efficiency” and “equality” have all registered all-time lows since records began in 1997.
As for the ten freedom sub-indicators, freedom of “speech”, “freedom to strike”, “association”, “press”, “publication” and “procession and demonstration” all score lower than 5 marks.
Freedom of “entering or leaving Hong Kong” has dropped significantly when compared to the last survey and registered a historical low since records began in 1997.
PORI successfully interviewed 1,012 Hong Kong residents by a random telephone survey conducted by real interviewers in early February.

Natalie Geisenberger: I’d never returned to China
#NatalieGeisenberger, Germany’s #luge champion who took home a sixth gold medal at #WinterOlympic Games this year. She went to Beijing having previously criticised China and even considered boycotting.
“When there’s #HumanRights and the country’s stance on #LGBT, those issues should be taken into consideration by the #IOC (in selecting host nations).”
Geisenberger refused to speak about the human rights issue during the Games.
“You have to be careful when you say what, and where you say it, and I think many are feeling this way. Here on location, I think it’s better not to say too much,” she said on February 8.
Having now returned to Germany, she told newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung that she will never return to China.
“It’s just not a holiday destination for me, and I wouldn’t go to China for a World Cup either,” Geisenberger continued saying, “it has nothing to do with the pandemic. I wasn’t there because I really wanted to go to China, but because the IOC decided that the Olympic Games would take place in Beijing.

Australian intelligence uncovers and blocks Chinese funding of election candidate through businessman
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (#ABC) reported on Friday (11th February) that the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) had discovered the close ties between an Australian businessman and China, funding a pro-Beijing Labor Party candidate in this year's federal election.
The report cited an Australian security source that China's intelligence service was working through an Australian businessman to fund members of the Australian largest opposition party, the Labor Party, for the New South Wales constituency in the May parliamentary election. China promised to increase China's influence in the Australian parliament if elected.
But the plan was seen and blocked by Australia's official security intelligence organization.
