The Countries Most In Debt To China
//Countries heavily in debt to China are mostly located in Africa, but can also be found in Central Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, data from The World Bank shows. China is currently the preferred lender to the world’s low-income countries, which owe 37% of their debt to China in 2022, compared to just 24% in bilateral debt to the rest of the world...
The Chinese "New Silk Road" project, a program to finance the construction of port, rail and land infrastructure across the globe, has been a major source of debt to China for participating countries. At the end of 2020, of the 97 countries for which data was available, those with the highest external debt to China were all involved in the project, namely Pakistan ($77.3 billion of external debt to China), Angola (36.3 billion), Ethiopia (7.9 billion), Kenya (7.4 billion) and Sri Lanka (6.8 billion)...
The idea that China could gain significant leverage over countries and their infrastructure in the case of repayment issues has been cited often, like in the case of a troubled Sri Lankan port that was built with Chinese funds and that China ultimately took a 70% stake in. The Laotian railway that has been burdening the country with debt is also 70% Chinese-owned.//

High Court Judge Claims First Aiders "Encourage" Fighting, as First Aider Appeals 4-Year Rioting Sentence
In Hong Kong, the High Court has heard an appeal against the conviction of a 26-year-old man sentenced to four years for rioting in a 2019 #AntiELAB protest.
The man is one of 16 charged with rioting in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai on 31 August 2019, the fifth anniversary of the Chinese congress’ ’31 August decision’ to limit candidacy and representation in Hong Kong’s elections.
While six of the accused were acquitted, the man, who maintained that he was volunteering as a #FirstAider on the scene, was found guilty and handed a four-year sentence in 2021. He has now been incarcerated for over two years.
Citing the Lo Kin-man case, the appellate judge Derek Pang said on 28 July that a first aider can still be considered to have had a part in the riot.
“[Let’s say] you show up in a battle in a certain country’s military uniform. You have a red cross on your arm, and you’re a medic. Does that mean you’re not part of the frontline fighting? Isn’t that still a kind of support or encouragement?” Mr Pang said.
He added that helping someone of the same side in a riot to wash tear gas out their eyes is also a form of support. The appellant, he said, must have acted with the same purpose in mind as the rest of his camp.
“Why is it that you can’t possibly be one of the rioters if you’re a first aider? It’s not like you were with St John [Ambulance], is it?” Mr Pang said.
The prosecutor said it is for the court to decide if the appellant was a genuine first aider.
“A mere claim of having been a first aider [on the scene] doesn’t give one immunity,” she said.

Portable charger in China Turned into Eavesdropping Device and GPS Locator
In China, a portable charger can become an eavesdropping device and a GPS locator. Acoording to Chinese media, with the installation of SIM card, such portable charger can eavesdrop a long distance away and locate the user accurately.
These devices come in various colours and models, but most have the functionality of "remote monitoring recording" and "precise positioning".
They cost from RMB300 to RMB600 and can be bought on some online platforms.
In China, a journalist from #Banyuetan (#半月談) successfully modifies a portable charger from a store with RMB300. He downloads a "#GPS365" app onto his phone. After logging in with the username and password given by the seller, the screen shows the device location, tracking record, contact list, messages etc.
The journalist puts "location" in trial and finds out that the activity tracking of the user can be seen clearly with the portable charger. Even places like underground and car parks can still be accurately shown on the system.
The staff told the journalist that the charger could record sound from the surroundings and automatically send the recording to the phone once the environment noise exceeds 50dB with "Sound Control Convo (#聲控語聊到)" installed in the app. The portable charger can also pick up phone calls automatically.

Hong Kong Parent Produces Children's Books to Teach Universal Values
In recent years, the socio-political environment in Hong Kong has deteriorated continuously , especially after the elimination of general studies and addition of national security education into Hong Kong's school curriculum.
Many parents came to realize the importance of teaching their children universal values and basic concepts such as society and justice, some of them introducing these ideas to their children even during the pre-school years.
Bonnie, a mother of two daughters, told reporters that she has always been telling bedtime stories to her daughters, and often pondered about what kind of stories are suitable for them.
As democracy and freedom are being eroded in Hong Kong, she felt that she may not even be able to speak up on these topics in the future.
This led to her publishing a series of three children’s picture books on election, freedom, and justice, which is now available for sale at #Chickeeduck stores, as well as Bonnie's website "Hopology":
https://shop.hopelab.co/product/bonnies-book/
"A good picture book should be useful for both adults and children. It should be interesting for both," Bonnie said.
Different age groups may be interested in different aspects of the topic, she added, though picture books are made first and foremost for children.
Questions at the end of the book also lead readers to reflect on the story, and to use their imagination to understand abstract ideas.
Bonnie began creating picture books in 2019, her first book aiming to explain the pandemic to her two daughters. She subsequently released her work online as an illustrated e-book, thinking that "since I already told [the story] to two people, I might as well tell it to the world." She was surprised at the overwhelming responses from readers; her books had even been adapted by some schools as teaching materials.
This encouraged her to continue writing picture books, sharing with the world the stories she wrote to teach her daughters.

"Gravely Concerning": Canadian MPs Urge Ottawa to Condemn Hong Kong Government Naming Vancouver Editor on "Wanted List"
In a letter to the government, two Canadian MPs asked Foreign Minister Melanie Joly to publicly oppose Hong Kong government’s action of putting Victor Ho, a former newspaper editor living in Vancouver, on a “wanted list” for suspected subversion of state power.
“We find this gravely concerning. Mr. Ho is a Canadian citizen, living in Canada. This is an intrusion on Mr. Ho’s legal rights, and any application of the National Security Law is a direct attack on this fundamental freedom of thought, belief, opinion, expression and assembly as protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” wrote #HeatherMcPherson, MP for Edmonton-Strathcona, and #JennyKwan, MP for Vancouver-East.
On July 27, Ho joined other activists at a news conference in Toronto to announce the formation of an electoral organizing committee for a Hong Kong “parliament in exile” that would oppose Beijing’s continued clampdown on political freedoms.

Hong Kong Authorities Accuses Speech Therapists of "Conspiring printing, publishing, distributing or copying seditious publications" for publishing "Sheep Village" children's books
There was prima facie evidence against them. The prosecutor gave a closing statement on #July18 that this case does not need to prove the defendants have seditious incitement or that someone is incited. As long as the defendants understand the publications are with incitement but still publishing, they can be charged. The prosecutors cite previous cases to emphasise incitement can lead to severe consequences such as rebellions and internal wars. It can be similar to the Crime of #Treason.
The defendants stated in the closing statement on #July20 that the related kid's books are not seditious but reflect the defendants' views on social issues, which should not be criminal. The definitions of "#hatred", "#contempt", and “#subvert" are vague and broad, which allow the authority to punish dissidents, causing a chilling effect. People are frightened to be arrested with no bail due to providing non-official perspectives, just like these defendants being under detention for a year.
The defendants then listed a number of former-UK colonies, including India, Kenya and Uganda, to show "the Crime of Incitement" is unconstitutional and has been abandoned.
The case was extended until July 30, 2022 to continue the closing statements.

Hong Kong media credibility drops to new low, study finds
Public trust in the credibility of Hong Kong’s media has fallen to its lowest level in two decades, according to a survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK).
“That means people generally don’t trust the media enough. And the media may not be able to function properly trying to report on social issues, events and monitoring the situation for the citizens. So this is not good.”

Local Satire Artist Makes Parody Image on Attack Anniversary
Last week, Hong Kong Science Museum ran an ad campaign in MTR stations promoting its “MTR x Dinosaur Adventure Art Competition 2022”, which complements the Hong Kong Science Museum’s “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big 8 – Dinosaur Revelation” dinosaur exhibition, including actors in dinosaur costumes running around inside train stations.
Many netizens left comments on MTR's Facebook post alluding to the #831PrinceEdward attack, in which the Police’s Special Tactical Contingent - often nicknamed "Raptors" - flooded into Prince Edward station and attacked passengers indiscriminately, leaving many bloodied and traumatized.
Today, satire artist SurrealHK published this edited image titled "Dinosaurs seen in MTR?! Inspired by #DinosaurAtMTR". No comments have been made regarding today's date, which happens to coincide with the 3rd year anniversary of the #831PrinceEdward attack, leaving much to the reader's interpretation.
