Pope Francis Mentions the Prosecution of Xinjiang Uyghurs
The Chinese government sets up “Re-education Camps” in Xinjiang in recent years with masses detention of Uyghurs, drawing global attention to humanitarian issues. After years of demands from human rights defenders, Pope Francis firstly said the Xinjiang Uyghurs as “persecuted” people in his new book – Let Us Dream: The Path to A Better Future.
He mentioned Xinjiang Uyghurs in a chapter on the persecution of Christians in Islamic countries, “I occasionally think of the persecuted: Rohingya, poor Uyghurs and Yazidi.” Francis did mention about Rohingya fleeing Myanmar and Yazidi who is being killed in Islamic countries. This is his first time mentioned Uyghurs.
The United States Secretary of State Pompeo earlier criticized China on suppressing the Uyghurs in Xinjiang at the Vatican meeting. Yet, the Vatican has never spoken out on related issues. Some commentators think that the Vatican did not speak out for Uyghurs earlier to avoid affecting Sino-Vatican contract renewal negotiation.

Xi Jinping Advocates “Internationally Accepted QR Codes” to Track Global Population
Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the G20 Leaders’ Summit via video conference on Saturday (Nov 21), during which he expressed his wish for more countries to participate in an international mutual recognized mechanism for health codes proposed by China, in order to rapidly track international travels and movements of personnel during the pandemic.
Xi proposed that all countries should formulate a universal set of policies and standards to counter the pandemic, enhance the relationship between policies and standards, and establish “fast tracks” to facilitate the flow of personnel, to ensure the smooth operation of the global economy amid the pandemic. Xi proposed that the mechanism was based on nucleic acid test results and administered through internationally accepted QR codes, and expressed his hope for more countries to participate. He did not, however, specify the types of applications or QR code systems, or who to design and manage the system.
China has widely implemented health certificates locally using QR codes that also contain personal travel and health records. The codes were deemed effective in curbing the spread of COVID-19 in mainland China. The code system assigns different colour codes to users based on their risks of potential infection: Green denotes the lowest risk, followed by yellow, with red denoting the highest risk.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Says Will Keep Pressuring China on Human Rights Issues and Warns that Tough Talk is Meaningless
Since the case of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, the Sino-Canada relation remains tense. Francois-Philippe Champagne, the Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister, said in the House of Commons on Monday (23rd Nov) that Canada would continue to pressure China with allies, especially on the human rights issues, and emphasized that irresponsible tough talk on China generates no tangible results.
Appearing before the Canada-China Relations Committee of the Canadian Parliament, Champagne referred China to be a key role in climate change and global economic development. He also point out that tough talk on China is useless, “To those who are seduced by this one-dimensional view, I say that while it is easy to be tough, Let's not fall into the temptation of tough and irresponsible rhetoric that will generate no tangible results for Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, our farmers and entrepreneurs, and human rights victims and advocates.”
Champagne emphasized that Canada would not be soft on the human rights situation, including the crackdowns in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. In fact, Canada was the first to suspend the extradition treaty with Hong Kong in July and promised to make it easier for Hong Kong youth to immigrate to Canada. Champagne said, “It is absolutely imperative that advanced democracies like Canada and our like-minded partners work together to protect the international rules that have ensured stability and prosperity for decades. It is a challenge we all share. No country will succeed alone.”

Hong Kong Directors of protest-themed movie win 2021 NETPAC award
The Taiwan Golden Horse Film Festival and Asian Film Promotion Alliance presented this year’s #NETPAC Award to two young directors from Hong Kong, Yum-hap (任俠) and Lam-sum (林森) on November 24.
Yum and Lam are directors of “May You Stay Forever Young”, a protest-themed movie that took the 2019 Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong as its backdrop. The movie portrays a group of young people in Hong Kong who gathered voluntarily in a bid to rescue those who attempted to sacrifice themselves for democracy and suicide.
The movie has earlier been shortlisted for the 58th Taiwan #GoldenHorseAwards and is running for the best new director and best editing on Saturday night (November 27).
The production team of “May You Stay Forever Young” was elated to be awarded. Amidst fading freedom in Hong Kong, the team sighed that the movie was first “impossible” to produce and now “impossible” to release.
“Many people have contributed to this movie, but they have to stay nameless and remain in the dark in order to carry on their fight for freedom,” the team added. “The place where this movie is allowed to screen is where freedom stands.”
The production team expressed gratitude to the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (#NETPAC) and they also thanked Taiwan for freedom.
