Beijing Loyalist Criticises the Hong Kong Government for Lacking Proactiveness in Acquiring China-made Vaccines

Lo Chung-mau, Chief Executive of University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital, was vaccinated by China-owned Sinopharm in Shenzhen. Lo stated in an interview that instead of waiting for the 3rd phase clinical data for Sinovac’s vaccines, the Hong Kong government should seek the data from Sinpopharm or the National Medical Products Administration of China. Lo claimed that the Hong Kong government was passive and only “sitting and waiting”, instead of “striking out”.

In her response in the afternoon, Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan stated that all government bureaus were performing different tasks. On the one hand, the Hong Kong government has been contacting other countries and medicine manufacturers, to negotiate the logistics, clinical data and the acquisition of vaccines, in order to speed up the importation of vaccines to Hong Kong. On the other hand, through internal communication, the Hong Kong government has to keep in touch with medical teams and hospitals and discuss the arrangements of vaccinations for the public. once they were available in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Chan said the Scientific Committees under the Centre for Health and Protection in Hong Kong would be responsible for scheduling the vaccination and monitoring post- vaccination conditions.

The Advisory Panel on COVID-19 Vaccines would take up the task of approving any emergent use of vaccines. Chan stressed that the Hong Kong government was not “just sitting there and wait”.

Beijing Mouthpiece Defames a 11-year-old Hong Kong Boy and Uses Fake Identity to Approach his Family

In Hong Kong, 11-year-old #JoelWong, the founder of the Tin Shui Wai Community Concern Group, was assaulted by a pro-Beijing elderly man on January 25, 2021.

Wong saw a group of elderly women and men gathering and dancing in a park in Tin Shui Wai. When he approached the group, reminding them to keep the music down, he was headbutted by one of the men who also punched Wong on his tummy.

Since Wong reported the case to the Hong Kong Police, Wong has been harassed by Ta Kung Pao, a Beijing-owned newspaper. On January 26, 2021, the CCP mouthpiece even published a so-called "interview" with Wong’s Grandmother on its frontpage, defaming the community-caring Wong as "going astray".

The Concern Group told Stand News that the reporter of Ta Kung Pao, who "interviewed" Wong's grandmother first claimed to be his teacher and social worker. When Wong's grandmother let the reporter into their apartment, he took picture of their household and other family members. It was only after that he then revealed his identity as a reporter.

The Concern Group denounced the reporter’s action, calling it “shameful” to chat with Wong's family and “betray their trust.”

11-year-old Pro-democracy Community Manager in Hong Kong Resigns Due to Pressure

11-year-old #JoelWong is the founder of the Tin Shui Wai Community Concern Group in Hong Kong. On Feb 12, 2021, Wong announced his resignation as a community manager to be effective from March 9, 2021 onwards.

"For the sake of my family, friends and school, I will resign from my position as a community manager," Wong said.

Wong is suffering insomnia and subjected to pressure, since he has been doxxed by some pro-Beijing groups and his family has been harassed by China-funded media.

Nevertheless, Wong said he will continue to contribute to the community in form of voluntary work.
