[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".

[Oct 23: Hong Kong Government VS Taiwan: Chan Tong-Kai's Case]
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 government’s decision: The Hong Kong authorities refused Taiwan’s 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.

U.S. Senator Josh Hawley Supports Hong Kong
Watch the clip.
On October 23, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley delivered a speech on the Senate floor in support of the people of Hong Kong as they stand up against Beijing’s oppression.
"As we gather today here in peace and safety in this quiet chamber, we must remember that there is a city half a world away that is struggling to survive. A city that is fighting for human rights and human liberty. A city that is a solitary pinpoint of light on a continent of authoritarianism. A city called Hong Kong. The need there is urgent and the hour there is late and it is time for America to act.
And I know this because I've been there. I've been there myself. I have seen it, Mr. President. I have been to Hong Kong. I have been to the streets of Hong Kong. I have seen the protesters marching in support of, in defense of their basic human rights. I have seen them demonstrating for their basic human liberties. I have seen them confronting the police with their tactics of brutality and oppression."

Would FIFA Catch the Next Firestorm for Disregarding China's Violation of Human Rights Worldwide?
[Editor's Note: Fifa's latest move is not only controversial by disregarding China's violation of human rights and free speech worldwide; but it also means that the joint British and Irish bid would face competition from China to host the 2030 tournament.]
1. "Fifa under fire after announcing China will host 24-team Club World Cup"
//Human rights organisations have condemned Fifa’s decision to stage a revamped version of the Club World Cupin China.
World football’s governing body has confirmed that an expanded version of its showpiece event, featuring 24 teams, will take place there in June and July 2021. The decision was made despite China’s suppression of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, and the internment of more than one million Uighur Muslims in the state of Xinjiang.//

2. "China could thwart British and Irish World Cup bid"
//Those in charge of Fifa are understood to be pushing for an Asia nation — specifically China — to be allowed to bid, but that would require Fifa’s council to change its rules on tournament rotation.//
