Hong Kong SAR Government VS Taiwan Authorities: Towards Chan Tong-kai's Case
Chan Tong-kai will be released from prison (for committing money laundering) in Hong Kong on October 23. Yet the Hong Kong government and the Taiwan authorities have not yet reached any agreement.
A Brief Overview of the 'communication' involved:
1. On October 19, it was said that Hong Kong resident Chan Tong-kai had decided to face justice in Taiwan for murdering his girlfriend there.
Read: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/8625
2. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council stated on October 19 by citing the Ministry of Justice that Hong Kong Government has been evading responsibility and using the case to fulfil her own agenda.

//Chan Tong-kaiās case has escalated into an extended political spat, with Taiwan accusing Hong Kong of ādemeaning its sovereigntyā because it refused to pass evidence onto the islandās prosecutors. Hong Kongās lack of official cooperation was a sign that the city does not treat Taiwan as a separate jurisdiction from China, Taiwan authorities said.//

#UPDATE
[Oct 23: Hong Kong Government VS Taiwan: Chan Tong-kai's Case]
Hong Kong Government Objects Taiwan's Proposal to Escort Chan Tong-kai to Taiwan
Read about the Background: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/8925
Chan Tong-kai, who admitted killing his girlfriend in Taiwan, will be discharged from prison today (Oct 23) in Hong Kong after being jailed for money laundering.
Yesterday (Oct 22) Taiwan sent an official statement to the Hong Kong SAR government and proposed to escort Chan as a homicide case suspect to Taiwan.
The Hong Kong governmemt did not reply until a statememt was issued at HKT01:33 today (Oct 23): the Hong Kong authorities totally objected Taiwan's request.
The HKSAR Government claimed
"the authority of Taiwan has no law enforcement power in Hong Kong" and that "cross-jurisdiction law enforcement" is a "disrespect for Hong Kong's jurisdictional power"; however, it still hoped that the "Taiwan side could handle the case with sincerity and uphold justice." After all, the message emphasized by the Hong Kong government to Taiwan is to "be pragmatic, and stop complicating the issue".

Taiwan: Hong Kong Government must take full responsibility if justice could not be served
Previous development: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/8925
Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) responded to Hong Kong governmentās decision: The Hong Kong authorities refused Taiwanās request to escort murder suspect Chan Tong-kai to Taiwan, upon his prison discharge in Hong Kong today (Oct 23).
Deputy Minister of Taiwan's MAC, Chiu Chui-cheng, said if the suspect (Chan Tong-kai) escapes after being released from prison in Hong Kong, there is a fear of collusion or destruction of evidence. If justice of the murder case is not served, the Hong Kong government has to take full responsibility, as it has not submitted any related evidence and objected the transferral of Chan.
