China-Russian hails ties and scorns international sanctions against Moscow's invasion in Ukraine calling them "illegal" and "counter-productive"
At a time when Russia is being condemned by the international community for its all-out invasion in Ukraine, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on March 30, 2022 that the desire of China and Russia to develop bilateral relations has become even "stronger" so has the confidence to promote cooperation in various directions.
#WangYi and his Russian counterpart #SergeiLavrov emerged from their meetings with a show of unity, appearing to reaffirm their countries' friendship and criticising economic sanctions imposed by the West against Moscow for invading Ukraine as "illegal" and "counter-productive."
"China-Russia relations have withstood the new test of changing international landscape," Wang said after the meeting. "China is ready to work with Russia to take China-Russia relations to a higher level in the new era."
China has refused to condemn Russia's invasion outright, and it abstained from voting on United Nations resolutions demanding Moscow immediately stop its attack on Ukraine.
Instead, Beijing has accused the United States of intensifying tensions, while highlighting Moscow’s “legitimate security concerns” regarding the eastward expansion of #Nato.

China insists on dynamic clearing, Netizens complain: the more you're clearing, the less it's working
In mid-March, Chinese President Xi Jinping said to insist on a scientific and precisive dynamic zero-covid strategy. Right after, government agencies and the media commented "not wavering" and "not relaxing", showing their support for the "#DynamicZeroCOVID" strategy one after another.
The National Health Commission (NHC) of China re-emphasised at a teleconference on Friday (#Apr01) the need to firmly unify thoughts and actions with the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the decisions of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. It is to resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic to ensure that the goal of the "social zero-COVID" strategy can be achieved on time.
Many Chinese netizens asked, "How long would it last? How to achieve it on time?" in response to this target proposed by the NHC. Some other netizens used the recent Shanghai epidemic as an example to mock: "Dynamic zero-covid, the more you're clearing, the less it's working".

Slogan dedicated to victims of Tiananmen crackdown has been painted over and lined with a row of potted plants in a Hong Kong University
Residents at Swire Hall of the University of Hong Kong (#HKU) painted a slogan on the bridge after the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989.
Every year since then, HKU students have retouched the slogan, which read: “Souls of martyrs shall forever linger despite the brutal massacre; Spark of democracy shall forever glow for the demise of evils.”
33 years later, the university cordoned off the bridge claiming for “regular maintenance works”. Later on the slogan was found covered with cement and on top of it, a row of flower pots was added.
The removal of the slogan was part of a wider clampdown on commemorations of the Tiananmen crackdown at universities across Hong Kong.
In December, HKU dismantled the Pillar of Shame statue – an eight-metre sculpture that depicts bloodied bodies bundled together – in the middle of the night.
The next day, also in the early hours, a Goddess of Democracy statue and a relief sculpture were taken down at Chinese University (#CUHK) and Lingnan University (#LingnanU).

Make vaccines mandatory for elderlies, Pro-Beijing lawmaker urges
Hong Kong's COVID-19 death toll soared to its highest at 7,612 on March 31, during the fifth-wave of Omicron outbreak.
Elderly care homes are reportedly facing the gravest threat, as too many elderly residents were not vaccinated due to chronic health issues. Staff shortages and lack of on-site isolation facilities also added to the soaring death rate.
During a Legislative Council Health Affairs Committee meeting, Holden Chow Ho-ding, vice-chairman of the pro-China Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Progress of Hong Kong (#DAB), urged the government to act “decisively” and make it mandatory for the city’s elderly to be vaccinated.
“Reduce deaths. Reduce severe cases. The government should act decisively, and make it legally required for seniors aged 70 and above to be vaccinated," said Chow.

More pro-democracy youngsters jailed for rioting in Hong Kong as the judge calls demonstration an infringement to other people's freedom
Five people have been sentenced to up to four and a half years over rioting charges relating to a protest in Wong Tai Sin during the anti-extradition movement in 2019.
Handing down the sentences on April 4, 2022 Judge Ernest Lin said the defendants – aged 19 to 30 – had turned the district into a battlefield.
He questioned these pro-democracy youngsters' ideal, saying that they have "sacrificed other people’s freedoms for their own ideals.”
Three defendants were jailed for between four years and three months to four years and six months, while the two younger defendants, aged 22 and 19, were sentenced to a detention centre and a training centre respectively.
Around 10,250 arrests have been made in connection with the protests and unrest of 2019. The demonstrations eased in early 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak and Beijing’s national security law, which activists say has been used by police to crack down on the pro-democracy movement.

Former Hong Kong student leader jailed for 9 months for resisting police and perverting course of justice
Former Hong Kong Baptist University (#HKBU) students’ union president #KeithFong has been jailed for 9 months for resisting police and perverting the course of justice, in a case linked to his purchase of 10 laser pointers during the 2019 protests.
The District Court on April 7 passed sentence on Fong, who has been in custody since early February, 2022 after he was convicted of the two offences.
Judge Douglas Yau rejected the defence’s suggestions of a fine and a suspended sentence, saying only immediate imprisonment could reflect the seriousness of the crimes.

UN boots Russia from UN Human Rights Council over Ukraine invasion
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on April 7, 2022 calling for Russia to be suspended from the Human Rights Council.
The resolution received a two-thirds majority of those voting in the 193-member Assembly, with 93 nations voting in favour. 58 abstained from the process.
Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Vietnam, were among the 24 countries voted against.
The meeting marked the resumption of a special emergency session on the war in Ukraine and followed reports of violations committed by Russian forces.
This past weekend, disturbing photos emerged from the city of Bucha, a suburb of the capital, Kyiv, where hundreds of civilian bodies were found in the streets and in mass graves following Russia’s withdrawal from the area.

For Europe, confronting China should begin at home
All eyes may currently be on Russia, but meanwhile, concerns regarding the European Union’s relationship with China continue to mount. From the diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics to confronting China’s economic punishment of Lithuania and tackling its authoritarian model within the multilateral system, the list grows longer by the day. However, it’s important to remember that, just like with Russia, simply achieving a unified EU position on China is not a fait accompli.

VICE News Report on 7.21 Yuen Long Attack is Geo-Blocked in Hong Kong
On March 26, 2022, a video titled "Hong Kong's Organized Crime Societies", was released on the YouTube channel of VICE News, a popular US-based news platform with over 7.6 million subscribers.
Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARB-z8B7bHs
However, netizens found that the video was "geo-blocked" in Hong Kong. Viewers with a Hong Kong IP address are met with a "video unavailable" message, stating that "the uploader has not made this video available in your country". The video description was also hidden, and its comment section disabled.
The video remains viewable to netizens outside of Asia. Viewers within the blocked region could only access it with a VPN service. It is not yet known whether VICE News chose to block the region, or if the Hong Kong authorities demanded that it did so.
The video covered interviews with victims of Yuen Long attack on July 21, 2019, when hundreds of white-clad gangsters indiscriminately attacked civilians at the Yuen Long MTR train station. Hong Kong police force was accused of colluding with the gangsters in this incident, as they render slow and minimal efforts to respond to the violence.
The geo-blocking is seen as part of the growing, organised online censorship effort following the enactment National Security Law, under which outspoken media outlets such as Apple Daily, Stand News, and Citizen News have been forced to disband or were shut down by authorities. Other documentary videos of the 7.21 incident, including those produced by RTHK, have also been taken offline, raising concerns that history is being concealed in Hong Kong, and memories of the incident are being whitewashed.

Satisfaction with Hong Kong’s press freedom slumps to record low: Survey
On April 1, 2022, the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) published the results of a telephone survey involving 1,004 respondents’ “appraisal of news media.”
Findings revealed record low results since 1997 - only 28% of respondents are satisfied with #PressFreedom in Hong Kong.
The survey also reported a record-high proportion of respondents saying that local news outlets did not utilise their freedom of speech, the highest rate since September 1997.
The overall satisfaction with media outlets’ performance also dropped from 8% (2021) to 2% (2022), a record low since records began in September 1997.
Chris Yeung, former chairperson of the Hong Kong Journalist Association said that the closure of media outlets was “definitely” a factor contributing to people’s dissatisfaction with press freedom.

Huawei is sanctioned by the US with a fall in profit, believing lacking a key factor.
#Mengwenzhou, the deputy chairwoman and CFO of #Huawei, once again showed up at the group performance meeting after returning to #China.
Under the #US sanction on Huawei and the shortage of chips, Huawei's income in the previous year was reduced by almost 30%, to around 637 billion dollars (in RMB, same below). It is the first fall in the revenue since the record was publicised.
Last year's net profit raised by 75.9%, to 113.7 billion dollars, in which, the sale of a smartphone department to a government-led consortium took account of around 57.4 billion dollars. With a subsidy of 2.57 billion dollars from the government, a total of 60.8 billion dollars of other income was recorded, increasing 87 times from the previous year, being the reason for net profit.
With the deduction of the other income, the net profit was slightly higher than 52.9 billion dollars, reduced by almost 20% year-to-year.
According to the data from a market research organisation, Omdia, Huawei shipped 35 million smartphones only, which plunged by 81.6% from the previous year. The market share fell from 14.7% in 2020 to 2.6% in 2021.
Huawei's consumer business resulted in a hit, and the revenue was reduced by 49.6% from last year to 243.4 billion dollars.

Research: Execution by organ procurement and Breaching the dead donor rule in China
In an academic paper published by Australia-based esearchers Matthew P. Robertson and Jacob Lavee in April 2022, the findings strongly suggest that physicians in the People's Republic of China (#PRC) have participated in executions by organ removal, breaching the #DeadDonorRule.
The study applies computational text analysis to conduct a forensic review of 2,838 papers drawn from a dataset of 124,770 Chinese-language transplant publications.
The algorithm searched for evidence of problematic declarations of brain death during organ procurement. The research team finds 71 reports where brain death could not have properly been declared, and these organ donors could only have been prisoners in China.
