Not afraid of US sanction, Pro-Beijing Groups said "Seldom Go to the US"
After Beijing ordered the implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong, US President Trump openly stated that Hong Kong has become “One Country One System”. Thus, the US will cancel any special treatments for Hong Kong and sanction related persons who endangered Hong Kong's autonomy.
Showing allegiance to Beijing, Heung Yee Kuk Chairman Lau Ip-keung led 27 rural committees to support the law.
Lau claimed that he was not worried about getting sanctioned because he rarely goes to the US.

HK Police Arrest #GrannyWong
for "participating in unauthorized assembly" ALONE
On Sunday, May 30, 2021, Granny Wong was arrested by the police at around 15:19 in Wan Chai for "participating in unauthorized assembly".
Granny Wong was alone when the police surrounded and took her away by a police vechicle near the police headquarters.
Earlier, some pro-democracy group in Hong Kong had filed a protest authorization request for May 30, 2021 to commemorate the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre and condemn the Chinese Communist Party for the brutal crackdown.
The protest, alongside the annual candlelight vigil that has been taking place in Hong Kong's Victoria Park since 1990, was rejected by the Hong Kong police.
On the day, police continued to stop and search passers-by near Southampton Playground in Wan Chai, which is part of the protest route supposedly.

#NeverSurrender: Hong Kong Hospital Authorities Employees' Alliance Speaks Up for June 4 Tiananmen Massacre
On Sunday, May 30, 2021, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) set up a street booth in Causeway Bay, calling on Honngkongers not to surrender to political suppression.
The Hong Kong police banned a protest on the day and the annual candlelight vigil commemorating the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacere in Hong Kong's Victoria Park on June 4, 2021.
Soon after the pro-democracy representatives of the medical workers' union set up their booth at around 16:30, the police intercepted them and had their personal information recorded.
The police officers stayed and monitored the booth at close range in the shoppers' district.
A black banner is displayed next to the booth. The words in white read "The Battle of Memory".

Pro-democracy Activists Reopen June 4th Commemorative Museum in Hong Kong
On May 30, 2021, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China reopens the June 4th Museum in Hong Kong.
Since 1990, the group has been organizing the annual candlelight vigil in Victoria Park to commemorate the victims of the Chinese Communist Party's crackdown on the pro-democracy Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing in 1989.
Despite the Hong Kong police's ban on the signature vigil for the second straight year, the Alliance organizes a photo exhibition titled " '89 Movement and Hong Kong" in the museum and called on Hongkongers to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre with each of the own ways, wherever they are.
The secretary for the Alliance Choi Yiu-cheong emphasizes that the Alliance would never give up the commemoration.

The $3bn bargain: how China dominates Pacific mining, logging and fishing
Guardian analysis of trade data has revealed that China received more than half the total tonnes of seafood, wood and minerals exported from the region in 2019, a haul worth $3.3bn that has been described by experts as “staggering in magnitude”.
The country’s mass extraction of resources comes as China has deepened its connections with governments across the region, amid a soft power push that sees it rivalling the influence of the US and Australia in the Pacific.
China took more by weight of these resources from the Pacific than the next 10 countries combined, with experts saying China “would easily outstrip” other countries, including Australia, when it comes to “gross environmental impact of its extractive industries”.

Covid: Wuhan lab leak is ‘feasible’, say British spies
British intelligence agencies now believe it is “feasible” that the global pandemic began with a coronavirus leak from a Chinese research laboratory.
In a significant sharpening of tension with Beijing, they are investigating a possible leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which Beijing angrily insists was not the source of the virus that has caused more than 3.5 million deaths and is still raging globally.

#China, #Russia Again Veto UN Statement on #Myanmar Conflict
// On May 30, 2022, Russia and China once again wielded their vetoes to forestall the release of a United Nations Security Council (#UNSC) resolution expressing its concern over the escalating humanitarian crisis in Myanmar.
The two nations’ delegations reportedly objected to the wording of the statement
[...] authored by the United Kingdom’s delegation, the statement expressed its concern at the violence and serious humanitarian situation in Myanmar, 16 months on from the February 2021 coup that overthrew the government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. It also expressed misgivings about the “limited progress” on the implementation of ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus peace plan.
According to other reports, the delegations from the U.K. and China blamed each other for the failure of the day-long negotiations. For the U.K. officials, Beijing was asking for “too much,” which led to the collapse of the negotiations, according to AFP. One of the sticking points for the Chinese delegation was the use of the word “limited” to refer to the progress on ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus, which it suggested replacing with the word “slow.” A spokeswoman told AFP that China’s proposed wording was “factual but less condescending,” adding that “it’s a real shame” that there was no agreement.//
