Mysterious Blue-Clad People "Have Duties to Fulfill" Around China's Liaison Office, National Security Office and Happy Valley in Hong Kong
The PRC's Liaison Office has purchased many buildings in Happy Valley and other locations in Hong Kong. It was said that they are to be used as staff dormitories.
Since the National Security Law (NSL) has been enforced in Hong Kong on June 30, 2020, many mysterious people dressed in blue have reportedly been showing up for surveillance in Happy Valley.
They not only took photos and patrolled the area, but also approached residents to obtain information about that community. A resident said that he has made reports to the police, but the police responded, “they [those people dressed in blue] have duties to fulfill. It’s does not concern you.”
Apple Daily reporter has discovered that these blue-clad personnels were responsible for protecting the people getting off the coaches which belong to China Travel Services (CTS) and these vehicles travel between Sai Wan, where the Liaison Office is located, and Happy Valley every evening.
These people dressed in blue were also found around the National Security Office and Parkcrest owned by Hong Kong Liaison Office at Unit No. 8 of Yan Wah Terrence in Sai Wan.
Lawmakers are suspicious of the identity of these people and questioned, “Are they law enforcement officers or are they here for surveillance?” White terror has fully engulfed the district.
[Editor's note:
On the same day this story was published by Apple Daily on the frontpage, the newspaper's headquarters was raided by 200 police. The newspaper founder Jimmy Lai, his two sons, and 4 executives of Next Media were arrested over the allegation of national security violation.
The police had reportedly searched reporters' documents and news material during the 9-hour raid.]

Editor’s note: "Nanfengchuang" is a biweekly magazine owned by the Chinese state media Guangzhou Daily Group. Recently Xi did mention about People’s Commune, which is a product from Mao's period. The way Xi thinks might be highly similar to Mao, or actually Xi is just mimicking Mao (even if that method didn't work in the past)

(27 Jul) An article in the Chinese media "Nanfengchuang" that interviewed Qin Shuo, a Chinese media person, was deleted after it went viral on the Internet recently. Without naming any specific politicians in the article, Qin Shuo said that China’s enemy is not the virus nor the United States. "Ideological isolation and imprisonment" are things that make people worry. The article also called on the Chinese government to be a "service-oriented government" and "maintain the rules" instead of directly allocating resources. How much does this say about the voice of Chinese private enterprises?
// in 2019 she abandoned everything and moved to the United States. She said that China's scarce rule by law has left private entrepreneurs like her lacking institutional protection
//One is that the government does not have credibility, and the other is that enterprises are precarious, and at the judicial level, they are not equal to private enterprises
//China is not a fair business environment, and companies are divided into different levels.
//the key to the policy "say one thing and do another thing" is that there is no systematic guarantee of the rule by law system.
//Chinese entrepreneurs are either in prison or on their way to prison
//After Xiao Jianhua was taken from Hong Kong to China for investigation on 27 Jan 2017, his whereabouts are still unknown... The 3 trillion financial empire built by Xiao Jianhua for more than 20 years and starting from 300 yuan collapsed overnight.
//entrepreneurs must be patriotic
//under Xi Jinping's rule, even the different voices in the CCP do not want to pretend to listen.
//The economy has a lot of negative effects
