Role-playing Mobile App Game 'The Revolution of Our Times' Removed from Google Play Store for Violating the Platform’s “Sensitive Events Policy”
The app developer, Spinner of Yarns, reveals in an interview with The Stand News that he received an email from Google three days ago. Google explained that the app was removed due to a Play Store policy that bans “capitalizing on sensitive events such as attempting to make money from serious ongoing conflicts or tragedies through a game.”
While the app does offer in-app purchases, the app developer reiterates that 80% of the profits will be donated to Spark Alliance, a group that assists pro-democracy protesters who are arrested.
The developer has filed a complaint with Google. The tech company has yet to respond. Spinner of Yarns challenges Google’s suggestion that Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement as “sensitive”, questioning whether or not the tech giant has “kneeled down” [to China].

Would FIFA Catch the Next Firestorm for Disregarding China's Violation of Human Rights Worldwide?
[Editor's Note: Fifa's latest move is not only controversial by disregarding China's violation of human rights and free speech worldwide; but it also means that the joint British and Irish bid would face competition from China to host the 2030 tournament.]
1. "Fifa under fire after announcing China will host 24-team Club World Cup"
//Human rights organisations have condemned Fifa’s decision to stage a revamped version of the Club World Cupin China.
World football’s governing body has confirmed that an expanded version of its showpiece event, featuring 24 teams, will take place there in June and July 2021. The decision was made despite China’s suppression of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, and the internment of more than one million Uighur Muslims in the state of Xinjiang.//

2. "China could thwart British and Irish World Cup bid"
//Those in charge of Fifa are understood to be pushing for an Asia nation — specifically China — to be allowed to bid, but that would require Fifa’s council to change its rules on tournament rotation.//

Understanding Hong Kong's chaos in 800 words
(4 May) Hong Kong's chaos is caused by its eventual grafting onto China's authoritarian soil two decades after the transfer of sovereignty.
Hong Kong was intended to have been ruled directly by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Before Britain pulled out, however, it unexpectedly drove a wedge in the plan with the Sino-British Joint Declaration. From that, the Basic Law was derived. China was left stuck with a shell. At the time, there was no way to absorb Hong Kong into the CCP's regime.
//Hong Kong's chaos is nothing more than China's process of transforming it from the originally promised "two systems" into "one country". China kept saying it was an "acclimatisation period" but actually meant it to be the digestion of Hongkongers' so-called elitism. Even the so-called immature democracy in Hong Kong politics is to be digested away, step by step.
//"How is this good for China? China needs to keep Hong Kong as an international gateway for foreign exchange."... The mindset of communist-ruled China is very different from the common wisdom of the West, however.

National Security Law may trigger a financial war, Hong Kong becomes an eye of the storm between China and the world
(11 Jun) The Chinese Communist Party intended to bypass the SAR government to legislate the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law". This shocks the world and forces Western countries which are led by the United States to adjust policies related to Hong Kong. In the Hong Kong Report by the US Department of State Hong Kong and in the speeches by President Trump, they have declared that Hong Kong has lost its autonomy, and that “one country, two systems” has changed to “one country, one system”. The United States might cancel the preferential policy towards Hong Kong - which was based on the assumption that Hong Kong maintains a certain independence or self regulation.
//Hong Kong has always been an important window for China to obtain US dollars. Now that the United States has declared that Hong Kong has lost its autonomy, will the United States suspend Hong Kong’s supply of US dollars? Will it impose sanctions on banks in Hong Kong to stop them from exchanging US dollars, through the US controlled or dominated US dollar global trading system? Will this make Chinese companies that owe large amounts of US dollar foreign debt not able to repay their debs or even lead to bankrupt?
//the probability for the United States to impose a financial blockade on China by cutting off the supply and transactions of US dollars in Hong Kong is increasing.
//If the United States and the international community no longer distinguish between Hong Kong and mainland China in economy and trade, the current channel for capital to enter and leave China will no longer be unblocked.
China’s imposition of the National Security Law on Hong Kong is enough to scare away a lot of foreign capital, especially the US capital...although Singapore has no freedom and democracy, it has independent sovereignty and the rule of law applies in commercial cases.
On the contrary, in Hong Kong under the National Security Law, will the media dare to report accounting scandals of state-owned enterprises listed in Hong Kong? If the US capital and the state-owned enterprise go on a trail, will the court conduct a fair trial? Will China arrest the alleged US-funded employees on the grounds of national security? This kind of arrest of foreign company employees under the pretext of national security is not uncommon in mainland China. If this happens in Hong Kong where foreign capital is gathered, the consequences will be unbearable.
The special status of Hong Kong stems from the Hong Kong policy of the Western countries headed by the United States. It cannot be replaced by Beijing appointing a new financial center.

Hong Kong top analyst Law Ka-chung left China-based bank because "top of Beijing political circle" said so
(1 May) Law Ka-chung joined the Hong Kong branch of Bank of Communications (BOCOM) in 2005. Two years later, he got promoted as the Chief Economist and Strategist. He write freely and criticized the Hong Kong and China economic systems without any restriction for many years. He started feeling the pressure from China related to his work around 2010.
//"People think it is not appropriate to have a Hongkonger as spokesperson for a China-based bank."
//China-based banks adjusted policy and extended the scope to "purge" Hongkongers step by step. China-base banks don't hire local young people anymore.
//the main point was the system problem...It is about politics and the decision is from top to down (from Beijing)."
//China would like to connect the world via China-based banks... "China sent a lot of people to Hong Kong to learn how the external financial market worked."
//In 2010, he announced that BOCOM would stop comment or run analysis related to China affairs... the excuse BOCOM used was "China affair should come from the China headquarter."
//the decision of the Hong Kong branch "was not from the bank, but it was top-down from there Communist Party of China (CCP).”
//China GDP started to slow down from 10.5% in 2010 to 9,5% and 7.9% year by year. "In the beginning, China didn't think they would collapse because of your comments. However, when things get worse, they would like you to shut up," ...When the economy gets worse, the nature of CCP comes out.
//the Hong Kong financial market changed and put too much focus on China because capital from China soared rapidly.
//So-called financial institutes not only did their own business but also executed political mandate.
//"If you want to be an international financial centre, you can't focus on Asian markets only. You should cover the America and Europe markets as well."
//Hong Kong government and China-based banks focused solely on China market and often launched China related financial products.
//if China wants to internationalize RMB, financial institutes issues RMB bonds everywhere, and China-based banks has to promote that.
//"In the 1980s, when China wanted to take over Hong Kong, they planned to replace all the Hong Kong people with the mainland Chinese. It is just about time to push all of the Hongkongers out."
//BOCOM requested staff to attend marches against umbrella movement in 2014 and counted who attended.
//the impact of SARS in 2003 was much worse.
//Why did the analyst need to align with the Government?
//the demand during umbrella movement in 2014 was still about a general election. However, some voices in the anti-ELAB movement are related to Hong Kong independence and topple the regime in China... China doesn't care about the special status of Hong Kong and execute hard-line policy.
//Since China government can't brainwash the young generation, they turned against all Hongkongers.
//People worried the China will take over private wealth... Hong Kong enforce the law at random, and Hong Kong judicial was overridden, one country two systems is completely over."
//"Money will leave astonishing like leakage in water pipe. And it will never come back."
//speed up de-globalization, Asian countries replacing China as global factory, the agent of capital flow and investment foundation moving to Singapore and away from Hong Kong.
//"The financial centre is losing power. China market is declining. Our financial centre position will diminish."

Why does the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accelerate launching digital Renminbi (RMB)?
Editor’s note: Below is a summary but very close to the script of the first part of the video which is about digital Renminbi.
(15 Aug) The Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China had an announcement on 14 August about "Complete intensify trial locations for a new transaction service with innovative technology". 28 locations in China have been selected as trial locations to promote digital RMB. Besides the first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, sites include Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, Guangdong-Hong Kong – Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), Urumchi, Xian and Midwest Chinese cities, etc. In April this year, Chinese National media reported that the trial campaign of the digital RMB in a closed system has already been started in Shenzhen, Suzhou, Xiongan New Area and Chengdu. We have discussed that in our channel. Just less than four months till now, CCP can't wait anymore to extend the trial location to 28 places over China. CCP's reaction shows the urgency in launching digital RMB. We have many newly joined subscribers on this channel. Let's have a revision of some key points first.
1. Easy to manipulate the quantity of currency and stimulate the economy
2. Tracing in all dimensions results in surveillance civilians
3. Control capital movement and prevent capital outflow
4. Restructure economy with “waste banknotes”
5. Establish a new currency system to confront USD and avoid sanction
6. Expand the penetration internationally for the United Front and surveillance the world
