12 Japan firms will kill business deals involving #Uyghur forced labor
//Twelve major Japanese companies have established a policy of ceasing business deals with Chinese companies found to benefit from the forced labor of the Muslim Uyghur minority in China's far-western Xinjiang region.
In a report last year, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute identified over 80 global companies "directly or indirectly benefiting from the use of Uyghur workers outside #Xinjiang through abusive labor transfer programs."
Kyodo News recently asked 14 Japanese companies mentioned by the think tank how they plan to respond.
With the exception of Panasonic Corp., which declined to comment, all companies either denied directly doing business with companies suspected of benefiting from forced labor or said they could not verify the claims against their suppliers.
The 12 include Toshiba Corp., Fast Retailing Co., operator of the Uniqlo casual clothing brand, Sony Corp. and Hitachi Ltd.//

Pro-Beijing reforms threaten “end” of HK’s legal system, top lawyer warns.
Paul Harris, the New Bar Association head, has warned that calls from pro-Beijing figures in Hong Kong to radically reform the territory’s judiciary could spell “the end of the present legal system”. Proposed council would amount to “a powerful body which would tell judges what to do” and would be “a major backward step”.
Harris suffered a barrage of criticism from China’s state media and central government last month after he suggested to change some provisions of the security law.

Taiwan-based Malaysian Artist Insists on Creating for Hong Kong's Pro-democracy Movement
After the passing of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, some of Tekkhean Lee’s (#小雞) exhibitions have been canceled, and some of his art pieces have to be replaced by white.
Lee is a Taiwan-based Malaysian artist. Lately, he has launched a fundraising campaign to publish a book of all his printmaking pieces to include all of his artworks from 2019 till now, in order to “save a record”.
As a foreigner, he is actively involved in creating works for Hong Kong, which sometimes attract criticism for “exploiting” the Hong Kongers. But for Lee, he insisted on creating art and did not think too much on criticism.
“Since Hong Kong people cannot do it, that is why we have to do as much as we can in this land with free speech," Lee said.
