Brazil Halts the Final Stage China Vaccine Trial, Claims Serious Adverse Reaction
The Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency on Monday announced that it has suspended the clinical trials of China's Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines, citing "serious adverse reactions" that occurred during the testing last month (29 October), But the authority did not provide further details, nor explained why it took more than a week to announce the problem.
Sinovac Biotech has been cooperating with Butantan, an institute at the State of Sao Paulo, to develop COVID-19 vaccines, called CoronaVac. The institute was surprised by ANVISA's decision, said it said was investigating the incident and will held a press conference on Tuesday morning local time.

Trudeau Hopes Biden to Keep Pressure on China for the Release of Two Canadians Citizen
Canadian Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said on Monday that he hopes the future administration of the US President-elect Biden keep pressure on China to release the two Canadian citizens.
At the request of the United States in December 2018, Canada arrested Meng Wanzhou, the deputy chair of the board and chief financial officer of the telecom giant, Huawei, at the Vancouver Airport in transit. China subsequently detained a former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and a businessman Michael Spavor, who were indiced in June on suspicion of spying on state secrets and intelligence for a foreign country. Western countries widely criticize China of detaining the two men in retaliation for the arrest of Meng Wanzhou.

Hong Kong #Court Denies Bail for #AppleDaily Executive and Cites #US Foreign Minister's Comment as Evidence of #ForeignCollusion
#Cheung KimHung, former Chief Executive of Apple Daily, on trial for national security offences had his bail denied in part because of comments made by US Foreign Minister #DominicRaab after his arrest. The prosecution cited it as evidence of a “close association” with foreign political groups.
Cheung and five senior executives of the pro-democracy newspaper were arrested during a police raid on Apple Daily newsroom and executives’ homes in June, 2021.
They are accused of conspiring to use the outlet to collude with foreign entities and seek sanctions, blockades, or other hostile activities against the Hong Kong and Chinese governments, endangering national security.
In denying bail, Judge Susana D’Almada Remedios cited prosecutors’ claims that Cheung had “a close association with the USA and foreign political groups as evidenced by their prompt reactions condemning law enforcement actions against the applicant and the condemnation of [the national security law] and enforcement actions against Apple Daily”.
In her reasons, Remedios also cited prosecutor's claims that Cheung maintained business connections to Apple Daily in Taiwan, which they said “posted articles for making unfounded allegations against the HKSAR government and the Hong Kong police repeatedly”.

Advocacy Group Campaigns for #Screening Films about Hongkongers' Fight for Democracy on #Netflix
"Fight for Freedom Stand with Hong Kong," a group advocates for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong called for fellow citizens to appeal to Netflix and request the showing of some pro-democracy documenteries and films produced in Hong Kong. These titles include:
- Revolution of Our Times;
- May You Stay Forever Young; and
- Far from Home
All these films chronicled the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong in 2019, capturing the bravery and extraordinary resilience of youths in the face of brutal repression, and their plea for international help.
Under the #NationalSecurityLaw, it is a safe assumption that these films cannot be officially shown in Hong Kong.
On its Facebook post, the advocacy group cited the Chinese Communist Party's pressure as the key hinderance to distribution of these films.
The group encouraged netizens to make their voices heard through the "Title Request" page of Netflix:

The European Parliament discusses further measures to counter foreign intervention, focusing on China and Russia
Europe is considering implementing an “Anti-Foreign Intervention Law", like Australia, to contend against foreign political propaganda and to influence the development of local democracy.
The European Parliament’s Special Committee on Foreign Interference and Disinformation (#INGE) discussed a 33-page draft report in Brussels on Tuesday (9th November). Among them, 40 mentions of China, more than twice of Russia. Participants urged the EU to set up a special task force to monitor the intervention from China.
After the INGE delegation composed of transnational members of the European Parliament visited Taiwan last week, the European Parliament this week immediately discussed that the #EU should take further measures to deal with foreign intervention and threats such as China and Russia.
A draft report mentioned that some authoritarian powers try to penetrate Europe, especially the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP). The report stated that the counteraction could take Australia and New Zealand as a reference, and it will be submitted to the European Parliament for a non-binding vote early next year.

Surveillance for All: China Pushes for Permanent Health Code by 2025
Although the #WHO had clearly stated that there had been a drastic 90% decrease in COVID deaths across the world, China had not embraced this optimistic view. Instead, it has declared a goal of making the Health QR Code mandatory for everyone in the country by 2025, enforcing a long-term, real-time surveillance for its citizens.
On Nov 9, The National Health Commission of China announced on its website that by 2025, every Chinese citizen will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code. The announcement is jointly published by the National Health Commission, State Administration of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the announcement, the health code systems currently in use are run by each province separately, and the systems from different provinces do not generally recognize each other's codes. In response, the central government aims to create a basic, inter-connected surveillance platform by 2025, in which each resident will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code.
With such a system in place, the Chinese government will be able to leverage big data to trace the so-called "high-risk individuals", establishing a long-term, real-time surveillance and control of the Chinese populace.

A jailed Hong Kong lawyer defies Beijing’s campaign to subjugate the city
It was just after sunrise when the police came for Chow Hang-tung.
The table in the room where she was working was strewn with documents as she prepared a bail application for a fellow pro-democracy activist. The 37-year-old barrister had pulled an all-nighter in her Hong Kong chambers on the 34th floor of the Bank of America Tower, where she liked to fuel herself with Japanese instant noodles and cups of instant coffee.
Suddenly, there was a loud rattling at the chambers’ glass doors. Chow tapped the Facebook app on her phone and began live-streaming. Someone kept ringing the doorbell and trying to input a security code. “It looks like they’ve really decided to take action today,” she said with a short laugh.

China Establishes Bureau to Take "Special Care" of High Net Worth Individuals
China has established a new bureau to oversee citizens with over $10 million in their bank accounts, Asia Finance reports.
The "High-Net-Worth Individuals Management Bureau" will build up a database of taxpayer profiles using their electronic records. Citizens moving out of China are also targeted for further scrutiny, to ensure that they fully pay the requisite taxes for cancelling their household registration before leaving the country.
The bureau will enact a four-pronged approach to take "special care" of these high-net-worth individuals: to strengthen surveillance on non-taxable businesses, information sharing, verification, and "cloud-ification". New departments will be created to enable information exchange with the People's Bank of China, as well as verifying these individuals mobile phones and various registrations.
This is seen as the first policy enacted since President Xi Jinping's proposal for "common prosperity" in the National People's Congress earlier this year. To support these changes, the tax department plans to hire an additional 25,000 staff, accounting for 67% of new hiring this year, an increase of 3.3% from last year.
These increases in government spending and surveillance imply that the rich in China will need to pay an increasingly higher price if they wish to move their money overseas.
