Last year in November, armed police attacked the campus of
Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) by force. This year the National Security Police entered the campus to 'search for evidence' against the university students and graduates with the security team. At around 16:15, they were sighted outside the library.

At the same time, China's Liaison Office released a statement supporting the work of the National Security police in Hong Kong.

One day ago, on November 19, 2020, around 200 graduates marched on campus to protest against the loss of freedom and rights in Hong Kong on the congregation day. The graduates observed silence for the casaulties in the pro-democracy movement and chanted slogans like "Hong Kong Independence" and "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times".

Chinese Communist Party leader Urges the World to Implement Controversial #HealthCode

According to China state broadcaster, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping called on the world during the G20 summit for the implementation of a health code.

In Hong Kong alone, the Health Code proposal has sparked controversy for its potential infringement of privacy and freedom and issues with the collection and the storage of personal data by the authorities.

On November 19, 2020, Xi also said at the Apec CEO Dialogues that China must rely on a growth model driven by innovation while continuing to deepen so-called supply-side reforms.

Xi also said globalisation is "irreversible" and that China will not engage in "de-coupling".

Throughout 2020, China has come under criticism, particularly from the US, for the coronavirus outbreak.

Hong Kong Bar Association Fears: China Might Attack Hong Kong’s Juridical System and Disqualify Judges in the Future


On Nov 23, 2020, the Foreign Minister of the UK, Dominic Raab, released a six monthly report on Hong Kong. He was considering whether to pull out British Judges who serve as the non-permanent judges at the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal.

Philip Dykes, Chairman of the Council of the Hong Kong Bar Association, said that Beijing has slowly taken control over the official institutions of Hong Kong and their next target is likely the independent judicial system of Hong Kong.

Dykes worried that the Basic Law will be amended to disqualify judges.

Since the implementation of the National Security Law in July 2020, concerns have been raised internationally towards Hong Kong government’s suppression over dissidents.

Apart from 4 lawmakers being disqualified by Beijing, teachers were disqualified by the Education Bureau, and journalists who conducted registry search were arrested.

In the Report, Raab indicated that he is going to review “whether it continues to be appropriate for British judges to sit as non-permanent judges on the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal”.

In an interview with Financial Times, Chairman of the Council of the Hong Kong Bar Association, Philip Dykes, said, “China has now turned its attention to Hong Kong’s juridical system. They might implement policies to instill judges the idea of patriotism”.

China-born, Pro-Beijing financiers launch new Bauhinia Party in Hong Kong in a bid to "reform" the Opposition-less Legislature

After the disqualification and the mass resignation of the democrats in Hong Kong, the pro-Beijing Camp is expected to further monopolize the Legislative Council's chairs.

Li Shan, a China-born member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the director of the Credit Suisse Group, together with the chairman of China Broadcasting Holdings, Huang Qiuzhi, and the others, launched a new political party "Bauhinia Party" in Hong Kong in May 2020.

The party plans to recruit 250,000 party members with the goal of supporting "one country, two systems" and "a high degree of autonomy", and improving the relationship between Beijing and the SAR government.

The founder Li Shan showed strong support to the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, and even demanded another transitional system to prosecute and review cases involving breaches of #NationalSecurityLaw, and to complete the legislation of #Article23 of the Basic Law in the future.

He claimed that the newly established political party is a "determined defender" of the principle of "one country, two systems".
