Since the sanction could be mis-enforced, causing unintended consequence, a certain amount of personal data was disclosed alongside the U.S. sanction list so that there would be no excuse for financial institutions worldwide for not locking on the right person and execute sanction.
All at once, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data and Chief Executive Carrie Lam jumped up and cried out their disagreement: it is an infringement of privacy.
Meanwhile, personal data of Apple Daily reporters have been deliberately disclosed on a doxxing website quietly approved by government authorities.
Itās an astonishing coincidence that disclosed data of Apple Daily reporters, including photos and telephone numbers, were provided to China Travel Services for āHome Return Permitā application. Not knowing why, the Privacy Commissioner is stretching his ruling to the U.S. while letting go a doxxing website in Hong Kong.
Is Hong Kong still a metropolitan city? As many countries have lifted their extradition treaties with Hong Kong, is the city still in good capacity to hunt down criminals absconded abroad? Can Hong Kong counteract anyone who intends to harm the interests of Hongkongers or the Hong Kong and Chinese governments?

Weaponising of the National Security Law
The arrest of Jimmy Lai has no doubt given us concrete evidence that we are heaving the last breaths of press freedom in Hong Kong.
However, this arrest is based on a very broad, albeit vague national security law that has recently been passed. On the surface, it might seem like another 'arrest of a pro-democracy figure', but it actually is Beijing weaponising this law in a bid to rid Hong Kong's opposition voice.

From TNT to Nuclear Explosion ā Chip Tsao
(06 Aug)Western countries are getting themselves more familiar with Chinaās unique survival philosophy following year after year of dealing with the dictatorship ā saving face every second, but the things they do are often shameless.
In English, face (saving) bears with honour meaning people, who value face saving, will care about their behaviour not to shame themselves / be shamed. Therefore, to certain extent, face and honour are same for others to put credit on an individual that he / she is decent and trustworthy. In other words, if an individual loses face, embarrassment and ridiculing will follow as well as all his / her credit, reputation, honour in a society will be gone.
That is different in China (at least CCPās culture) ā a Dama (Dama is a Chinese term to describe housewife in their 40s+) visits Paris department store shopping for EUR100K of goods, putting on a Ferragamo scarf, taking selfie by Huawei phone and sharing it online. This is a familiar story everywhere with Damasā presence at which they save face as much as they can / need to. But then the story will move on to phase 2 ā footing to Louvre Museum with friends, getting glad, making a hubbub and performing CCP style dancing (red dance). At the scene, it raises everyoneās eyebrows, from French to all non-CCP tourists. Most importantly, Damas would never sense any problem on that as CCP is left far behind from the international standard which sees the acts as insulting themselves, their organization and race, losing all honour (if any in the heart of CCPās people).
Another example ā CCP students abroad from rich families would drive their Ferrari car to school occupying 2 car parking spaces, saving face in their mind but raising everyone else eyebrows. They would even not sense losing face upon penalized by professors resulting from hiring someone to do assignments or take exams for them. In westernersā eyes, it is not understandable why an individual hardly saves face caring nothing about honour and reputation. That is CCPās promoting āfaceā ā staying at the basic needs level saving face by wealth only, removing honour and reputation sense from peopleās mind as they are important for people to keep their independent and critical thinking, which are extremely feared by CCP.
Year after year, many western Chinese scholars keep studying this strange mentality ā Professor KING Yeo Chi Ambroseās book āFace, Shame and Chineseās behaviorā is very impressive. Doctor HWANG Kwang Kuoās āConfucianism and Relationship-ism affecting Chineseās value on Faceā illustrates the Guanxism (relationship (Guanxi, phonetic of relationship in Mandarin)) is actually from the sense of inferiority of Chinaās people who need Confucianism connected relationship and people to overcome the feeling of inferiority. When a group of such people build the network of relationship, the feeling of inferiority would become the groupās arrogance.
With the advanced social medias and networking tools invented by Americans, Chinaās people enhance such network of relationship substantially. In other words, they are more crazy and active to enjoy showing off their wealthy but bad taste and shameless to the world, comparing to the last generation without internet. That is our caption today ā if Cultural Revolution 2.0 is activated, those brainwashed population who were just TM level in old days would become nuclear bomb.
Americans finally got enlightened and is roping other western countries in planning to get rid of this disaster made by CCP, though it is a bit late.

Could the Police's new definition on Media Representatives be sensibly implemented?
When I woke up in the early morning, I felt autumn in the air which is perhaps the best time of a year in Hong Kong. Regrettably, ābestā is no longer an appropriate word for this battered city.
Last week, the Hong Kong Police amended the Police General Orders and shocked the public with their new definition of āmedia representativesā. Although the media has responded strongly with disapproval, the Force backed their decision, taking media objections as mere nuisance.
A day later, seven universities and tertiary institutions joined hands and issued a statement reprimanding the Police for stripping press freedom in Hong Kong, which is under the citizens' rights granted under the Basic Law.
Attempting to ratify the trouble they asked, officers of Police Public Relations Branch anxiously called and supplemented senior management of local media with a softer message, claiming themselves as āsourcesā. According to these sources, as long as reporters are not obstructing police from carrying out their duty, officers would not get in the way of any journalistic activity, claiming also that reporters can continue reporting any event in public area, and so forth.
Apparently, these āsourcesā are telling lies. In reality, on the same day as the Police announced the amendment, when a photographer from Apple Daily stood on his own on a footbridge, covering a vigil held in remembrance of the deceased pro-democracy protester Chan Yin-lam, he was ticketed for violating the gathering ban. Isnāt it bizarre for one person to violate the rule-of-4 restriction?
Moreover, when the photographer showed his press ID as instructed, the police responded that they donāt recognise Apple Daily, forcing him to register with PPRB again.
Obviously, Apple Daily is a registered media on the Government News & Media Information System (GNMIS). It is also hard to believe that any police officer in Hong Kong would not recognise Apple Daily. The incident showed how easily one could trump up a charge if they are intended to find fault and obstruct reporters from reporting.
Implementation of the Police's new definition on media representativesāonly those registered on the Government News and Media Information System (GNMIS) will be recognized media outletsāis barely possible. Among the 200 some media outlets already registered on GNMIS, should police officers not recognize Apple Daily, how can they recognize other smaller and less known media outlets.
I could also foresee that HK police deploying "stop and search" operations on a whim to search reporters one-by-one, in order to restrain reporters' mobility at a scene.
A reporter from Ming Pao was once ākeptā in a cordoned area for more than 40 minutes, awaited to be searched. When he was eventually released, the clash ended, leaving him nothing to report.
Could this be the reality the Hong Kong Police Force is attempting to enforce upon Hong Kong?

China wants the United States to be generous and share the coronavirus vaccines worldwide; Chinaās hypocritical and rascal acts to shift focus on their responsibility of spreading the coronavirus epidemic
//On the weekend after G20 meeting, leaders from each country gave a speech through the internet meeting and mostly discussed the rebound of the epidemic happening around the world. During Xi Jinpingās speech, he talked through his hat as usual and stated that he fully supports vaccine development and for the vaccine to become public assets in the future, so those poor countries could also get the vaccine. He even suggested developing an international health code cell-phone app for healthy people to travel around the world, to speed up the recovery of the global economy.
//Health codes are QR codes app that is currently implementing in Mainland China, storing all personal health data and location information in the mobile phone so that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Government can track oneās location.
//Even if a person is not concerned about personalās privacy, one should worry about the credibility of Chinaās virus testing. If the virus testing has a false result, it would lead to many falsely diagnosed patients traveling around the world, repeating the tribulation of China exporting the coronavirus. The world needs to remember in early 2020, China tried to conceal the in-country epidemic; when it could not be hidden anymore, CCP repeatedly emphasized that the virus was similar to flu and condemned those countries that prohibited the entry of Chinese citizens as an act of racialism, resulting in many Chinese patients exported the virus over the world. China is the origin of the coronavirus epidemic.
//Other countries may not do well in controlling the epidemic, but it cannot counteract the responsibility of China creating the epidemic. It is the same as a fireman being unable to control the mountain fire effectively, but ignore the criminal liability of the arsonist who caused the fire.
//If China really cares about poor countries for not getting the vaccines, why donāt China purchase the vaccines for the countries from the United States? The Chinese government had also been telling the world that the vaccines developed in China were very effective and safe, even releasing them before the US. Since the Chinese vaccines are that good, why donāt the China government distribute them to poor countries for free?
//The Chinese pharmaceutical factories had never published their research and testing data on the vaccines.

#Opinion: Tong Ying-Kit Case Puts "Liberate Hong Kong" Slogan on Trial, with a Predetermined Verdict
[Editor's note:
24-year-old Tong Ying-kit is the first person to be charged under the National Security Law in Hong Kong, for displaying a flag with the words "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times" on his motorbike and driving towards police officers. The trial is now underway.
The following is an opinion article published by #SimonShen, a public intellectual specialized in international relations, on July 7, 2021.]
"On the surface, this is a case against the man #TongYingKit.
To the Hong Kong authorities, however, this case will effectively set the legal characterization for the slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, the Revolution of Our Times".
This is exactly why the Department of Justice insisted not to allow a trial by jury. Instead, they turned it into a trial by "designated National Security judges", giving them the power to determine the definition of the slogan.
With such an arrangement, the outcome is a foregone conclusion to nearly every observer. No matter what kind of outrageous scenes would happen during the proceedings, when all is said and done, the slogan would become a legally banned phrase, having been deemed unlawful by the 'British-designed judiciary system'.
After all, what would be the alternative? If the courts determined that "Liberate Hong Kong, the Revolution of Our Times" is not equivalent to "Hong Kong independence", then wouldn't it defeat the purpose of establishing the HKSAR National Security Law?
Thus, the authorities had first determined the desired verdict, then began rummaging through the records to dig up evidence that match their narrative.
This process is the exact opposite of the logical reasoning that the world is accustomed to; unfortunately, this is the norm in China. And this is has now become our times."
