HK Gov't Partners with US-sanctioned Chinese Company #BGI to Test Local Population
On Feb 1, 2021, the Hong Kong government imposes mandatory lockdown in 4 districts including Yau Ma Tei, Hung Hom, Tsim Sha Tsui and Yuen Long.
From the photos taken in Yuen Long, the China-owned Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) was seen partnering with the Hong Kong government in collecting samples and carrying out #covid19 testing for the Hong Kong population.
The BGI Group was sanctioned by the US government in 2020 for facilitating mandatory gene testing in Xinjiang for the Chinese Communist Party government.
In a phone survey conducted by Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) in August 2020, only 20.9% of the respondents in Hong Kong were willing to join the COVID-19 test carried out by the BGI.
Under the government's mandatory lockdown, civilians, however, have no choice but only to be tested as per the authorities' order.
