HK Government Distributes Made-in-China Gowns Labelled "Non Medical Use" to Hong Kong Medical Workers Collecting Covid19 Test Samples
The Hong Kong SAR Government has announced on Sept 4, 2020 the extension of the universal Covid-19 testing scheme, despite the relatively low participation rate.
Medical workers assisting in sample collection at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (#HKCEC) have revealed that the protective gear distributed to them by the government were made in China, and were labelled in Simplified Chinese and in English that it was for "non-medical use".
Medical workers have expressed their discontent with the governmentās plans, actions and arrangements, especially since they are dealing with a contagious virus.

Hong Kong Police Surround Pro-democracy Group Calling for Universal Suffrage on Election Day
In the past it would have been common to see protests during the #ChiefExecutive Election in Hong Kong.
It is, however, not the case anymore, as almost all the pro-democracy legislators have been jailed, coupled with the reformation of the electoral system.
On the early morning of May 8, 2022, the League of Social Democrats (#LSD), a pro-democracy group, tried to head towards the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center (#HKCEC) to protest; however, their members were stopped and searched by the police in Central Plaza, and were thereby banned from entering HKCEC.
As early as at 7:30am, over 30 policemen, all wearing stabproof vest, were stationed outside the clinic of Family Planning Association of Hong Kong in Wan Chai.
The chairperson of the League of Social Democrats Chan Po-ying comdemned the newly formed government for not tolerating opposing ideas, āDoes #JohnLeeās āStarting a New Chapterā mean banning peaceful petition?ā she asked.
Chan also expressed that Hong Kong is ruled by fear, and that organisations often have to think twice before conducting any activity. She added that the League of Social Democrats understood the ineffectiveness in protesting, but still wished that the community was not silence. She then moved on to encourage organisations in the society to persevere, whilst lamenting over John Leeās ālack of competitorā in his run for Chief Executive, that the pro-establishment camp ādidnāt even try to find him (John Lee) an opponentā, showing how pathetic the society was.
