Chinese Ambassador to Hungary Becomes Judge in International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea
On 25 August, Duan Jielong, nominated by the Chinese Communist Party government, was named the new judge to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (#ITLOS) in Hamburg, Germany.
The Tribunal is an "independent judicial body" established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS) to adjudicate maritime disputes "arising out of the interpretation and application of the Convention".
Duan, currently the PRC's ambassador to Hungary, received 149 votes in the first round of election and was therefore elected. His term will start on October 1, 2020 with an appointment of 9 years.
Since its establishment in 1996, the Tribunal has had 4 judges from the PRC.
[Editor's note: On 12 July 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled that China had violated the UNCLOS in South China Sea]

Fear and Hope
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
Yet we have to stand for each other to be strong.
Remember those under trials or under bars.

HK Govt Announces Universal Testing Scheme Despite Suspicion from Professionals
Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced Beijing-sponsored and organized programmes for universal coronavirus testing of the millions of Hong Kong residents to begin on September 1st, and that the the first testing period will range from 7 to 14 days. However, as the plan doesn’t come along with quarantine measures, its effects came with suspicion from the medical field
Microbiologist Ho Pak-Leung, head of the University of Hong Kong’s Center for Infection, cast doubts on its effectiveness. He pointed out that when the incubation period of the virus was about 5 days, if the government were unable to test for all residents within 4 days, not only would asymptomatic patients spread quickly in the community, the percentage of false negative cases would increase drastically.
Professor David SC Hui, member of the government’s disease-combating advisory group and Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, admitted that without quarantine orders, the practicality of the plan was much lowered. However, he said this was what the government had anticipated.
Pneumoconiosis specialist Dr. Leung Chi-Chiu, on the other hand, expressed worries, as the government can cover at best about one-forth of all transmission chains, which may make residents heedless of the risks of a potential surge.

HK Secretary for Justice Intervenes Private Prosecution
At Least Twice in Private Prosecution Against Police and Driver
The Department of Justice had earlier stated to Hong Kong's court its wishes to intervene in the Sai Wan Ho shooting incident, demanding the justices to annul the court summons issued to the involved police officer who was sued for shooting a young student with live rounds on November 12, 2019 in Sai Wan Ho.
Another intervention took place afterwards, as the Department of Justice, likewise, stated to the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts of its wishes of intervening and annulling the private prosecution issued to a driver, who was involved in driving into pro-democracy protesters and severely wounding the crowd in Sham Shui Po on October 6, 2019.
Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng had stated earlier in her blog that although private prosecutions are an important part of the common law system, the system is susceptible to abuse, claiming that, "We should not tolerate private prosecutions on such trivial incidents and factless rumours, or private prosecutions of malicious intent and those based on political factors."
Both private prosecutions were raised by pro-democracy lawmaker Ted Hui. As of August 24, the request of the Secretary for Justice was formalized in court.

HK Secretary for Justice Intervenes Private Prosecution Against Pro-government driver, allowing defendant lawyer to recoup legal fee from pro-democratic lawmaker
Democratic Party lawmaker Ted Hui Chi-fung initiated a private prosecution in February against Henry Cheng Kwok-chun, a driver who rammed his car into a crowd of pro-democracy protesters and severely wounding at least one young woman in 2019.
On August 20, 2020, it was revealed that Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng had taken the rare step of intervening in the case, informing Hui that the Department of Justice would exercise its power to end the case and that the defendant Cheng would be exempted from testifying in court.
Subsequently, the law firm representing Cheng wrote to Hui’s lawyer in bid of seeking HK$82,000 to cover its expenses. The law firm representing the defendant, K.C Ho & Fong, has Beijing loyalist Junius Ho Kwan-yiu as a senior partner. The litigation fees include lawyer’s fee for Junius Ho at HK$9,400 per hour, stating the reason that “the summons should never have been taken out by the applicant at all”.
Disapproving the claim and the Secretary for Justice’s intervention, Hui called it absurd, pointing out that the authorities are attempting to frame this private prosecution as a trivial act with malicious intention. Hui believes that any sensible person could see the reasonable doubt in Cheng purposefully driving his car into the crowd.
As of August 24, the request of the Secretary for Justice was formalized in court.

HK Government to Use At Least 3 Caritas Community Centers as COVID-19 Test Center Without Consulting Staff, Residents and District Council
[Editor's note: As of 24 August, the government's requisition of the Ngau Tau Kok Caritas Center has been suspended.]
On 22 August, 2020, the Caritas Employee Union revealed on Facebook that the HKSAR government will use three Caritas Community Centers located in Tsuen Wan, Nagau Tai Kok and Aberdeen for 14 days to collect COVID19 test samples. The centre will open for 12 hours for civilians to submit samples.
According to the Caritas Employee Union, besides the senior management, most of the frontline employees and some middle management staff objected this arrangement.
The Union told Kwun Tong Community News that employees only received the notification of the arrangement on 21 August but without any details of the plan and relevant pandemic prevention measures. The government took less than 24 hours to go from
site inspection to requisition. The employees found it a rash decision.
In particular, the Ngau Tau Kok Caritas Community Center located at On Tak Road is nearby the residential area and the Ngau Tai Kok market. Residents worried that a community outbreak of COVID19 could be caused in the neighborhood.
Ngau Tai Kok district councillor Li Wing Shan wrote on her Facebook page, condemning the government for not consulting the residents, market stall owners and district councillors about the arrangement. She pointed out that the government's use of these facilities is affecting the livelihood of the residents, “District councillors in Kwun Tong receive a lot of requests every day and refer many cases to the Caritas Community Center as a follow-up. If the Caritas Community Center is used for other purpose, its original daily operation may be affected. It will cause an impact to the community.”

#721YuenLong
Pro-dem Lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting arrested for "Rioting" in 721 Yuen Long. Author of "Yuen Long Darkest Night" raises doubt and concern
// Regarding Lam Cheuk Ting, my investigation in "Yuen Long Darkest Night" is as such:
At about 19:00 in July 21 2019, an eyewitness saw Lam Cheuk Ting and his colleagues, Chong Wing Fai and Kelvin Sin Cheuk-nam, cleaning up the street booth near Hennessy Road petrol station in Wan Chai, and told people to go home early to rest.
After 20:00, Lam and his assistants had dinner in a tea restaurant in Wan Chai, paying attention to the gathering of white-clothed people in Yuen Long's "Kai Tei" (Area around Kuk Ting Street), with more than five hundred triad members assembled. Lam Cheuk Ting, who grew up inFung Kat Heung, Yuen Long, was very concerned about the incident. After dinner, he decided to go to the middle point of Yuen Long and Sheung Wan- Mei Foo Station to be on guard.
The three of them watched the situation in Yuen Long through their mobile phones on the platform until the photo of Mr. So being beaten came out. At 22:22, Lam Cheuk-ting called Sergeant Tang of Yuen Long Police Public Relations Branch, requesting the police to arrive at the scene as soon as possible to enforce the law, and stated that he would immediately head to Yuen Long Station for incidence observation.
It takes 16 minutes to arrive Yuen Long Station from Mei Foo via West Rail Line. At 22:44, Lam Cheuk Ting and his two colleagues arrived. At the scene, a woman was battered after beaten at her head by a white mob. A scene from livestream video showed that a woman picked up a broken stick, apparantly used for beating civilians. Lam asked the civilians not to touch any evidence at the scene, and said that he had called the police and would wait for the police to come and search for evidence. At the same time, he stated that there were triad members gathering outside, urging the citizens not to go out of the gate. Meanwhile, there was a train arriving at the station. At that time, there were over a hundred men, women and children who were at a loss.
While everyone was discussing what to do next, the white-clothed people outside the toll gate gathered again and attacked the citizens inside the station. At that time, inside the station were civilians returning home from various districts. Between the confrontation of the two sides, Lam stood in the front row, and loudly declared to the white-clothed man that he had called the police: "The police will be here at any minute! Stay right here if you have the balls to!"
Until 23:02, the white-clothed men rushed into the gate again. Lam and the civilians were chased into train carriages and beaten violently. After several rounds of attacks, a large number of civilians were injured. The train drove to Siu Hong Station and Lam was sent to Tuen Mun hospital.
I have four questions:
1. Of course, the riot charges can generally refer to participation in an illegal assembly that "undermines social order." As a member of the Legislative Council, Lam, who was present to perform his supervisory duties, "destroyed social order"?
2. If Lam intended to "destroy social order", why did he take the initiative to call the police before and after his presence?
3. If Lam is accused of participating in the riot, does it mean that all the civilians present participated in the riot, but not the white-clads who launched the terrorist attack?
4. Is the arrest really based on sufficient evidence, or is it a political operation to arouse the public opinion that supports the police force? //

Police Arrest 16, Including 2 Legislators Charged With Involvement in 7.21 Attacks and 7.6 March
16 people, including Democratic Party legislators Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui Chi-fung, online media reporter Hei Hei (熙熙) and others, were reportedly arrested on the morning of Aug 26, 2020, with 13 people charged with "rioting" under last year's Yuen Long 7.21 Attacks, while four people including Lam and Hui were charged with illegal assembly, perverting the course of justice, accessing computers with dishonest intent, property damage and other charges.
The Democratic Party had stated on social media that the police had separately arrested Lam and Hui at their residences, claiming their involvement in a last year's case regarding the Tuen Mun Police Station. The police also claimed that Lam had a rioting charge for his involvement in the Yuen Long 7.21 Attacks.
For Hui, the police claimed he had charges of accessing computers with criminal or dishonest intent, property damage among others.
According to Lam's social media account administrator, the police also claimed Lam had charges of conspiring others to damage property and perverting the course of justice.
CRHK and TVB and among others stated that 13 men, including Lam, were charged with rioting charges for last year's Yuen Long 7.21 Attacks. 3 men and 1 women, including Lam and Hui, were involved in last year's Tuen Mun Park case, with charges of illegal assembly, perverting the course of justice, accessing computers with dishonest intent, property damage among others.
According to online media reporter Hei Hei, police had a search warrant while searching his residence, later demanding him stop recording.
On 6 July 2019, netizens organised a "Liberate Tuen Mun Park" march. After the march ended, around 400 pro-democracy protesters gathered outside the Tuen Mun Police Station. According to reports that day, Lam and Hui were there to defuse the situation. Nearly all citizens dispersed at around 10 in the evening.
On 21 July evening last year, dozens of men in white shirts entered the Yuen Long MTR Station, YOHO Mall and other locations holding metal and wooden rods. At least 45 people, including Lam and former TVB News host Ryan Lau, were injured. Despite the amount of people phoning the police for aid, the police arrived late at the scene.

On 21 July evening last year, dozens of men in white shirts entered the Yuen Long MTR Station, YOHO Mall and other locations holding metal and wooden rods. At least 45 people, including Lam and former TVB News host Ryan Lau, were injured. Despite the amount of people phoning the police for aid, the police arrived late at the scene.

How double standard works
(11 Aug) In response to United States new rule on origin country and made of Hong Kong products, Hong Kong Government released a statement on 11 Aug 2020 to strongly opposite the new rule and criticise US measures contravened WTO rules, by explaining that Hong Kong is a separate member under WTO, special status as a separate customs territory is granted under “One Country Two System’ which is conferred by the Constitution of China under the Basic Law.
The Hong Kong Government news press is ridiculous and is absolutely inconsistent with what the Chief Executive of Hong Kong rationalised the legislation of National Security Law in Hong Kong by explaining “our Country”, China, has its right to “protect” Hong Kong by implementing China’s law to the local level; completely violated the fundamental spirits of “One Country Two System” or “Basic Law”.
Double standards of Hong Kong Government officials truly reflects local government has no power to govern local affairs, China has already control Hong Kong by its means.

Carried Lam turned down Pro-Beijing Camp’s recommending private test funded by government; “it is an insult and disrespect to the National Medical Squad (which is just boarded Hong Kong for leading tests)”
(13 Aug) The Pro-Beijing Camp is still puzzling in the political game and not even understand that there is no positive thing can be done by the government despite they keep supporting it.
The above outcome was from Pro-Beijing Camp’s raising subsidizing plan of $300 each to support citizens’ seeking private coronavirus test, following by their anxious about private data being misused and thus refused to participate in the government test.
Carrie Lam said NO immediately – as this can be seen as the National Medical Squad is being incompetent and not performing their jobs; Hong Kong (ONLY representing herself and her government) shall take care and safeguard the job and face of the National Officers from China.

建制倡資助市民私人檢測 林鄭當場落閘 因要顧及「國家隊」
港府早前公布推出俗稱「全民檢測」的「普及社區檢測計劃」,預料有500萬人參加,費用全免,惟部分人擔心接受檢測後DNA會「送中」。特首林鄭月娥昨日(12日)約見建制派不同板塊,據了解,有建制議員提出,資助市民每人300元到私人化驗所檢測,以擴大全民檢測範圍,但林鄭聞言迅即「落閘」,質疑此舉令人覺得國家隊「做唔到嘢」。特首辦回應指,政府目前採取「三管齊下」策略,包括由衞生署進行病學檢測、委託私人化驗所為較高風險群檢測,以及全民檢測,前兩者已用上絕大部分本地公營及私營的檢測能力;若非得到中央支持,根本沒可能應…
