Rumours of National People’s Congress pushing “Hong Kong’s version of National Security Law” creates panic among LIHKG netizens. Many Facebook pages unable to post after the news is released. Facebook’s director says the problem was not related to National Security Law.

(21 May)After the new of National Security Law implementation in Hong Kong, at around 5 pm, no post could be released on many well-known politicians Facebook pages including the Secretary-general Demosistō Joshua Wong Chi Fung, the Civil Human Rights Front convenor Figo Chan, Hong Kong Indigenous page, Youngspiration page, etc. At that moment, some of them were preparing the post about the National Security Law, but they couldn’t release their posts, and the system showed “Sorry! Experiencing a technical problem. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.”

George Chen, Public Policy Director of Hong Kong and Taiwan, replied yesterday evening. That problem was in the whole of Asia, but not only Hong Kong. He emphasized it was not only politicians’ pages and nothing related to the National Security Law.

Since the news about the National Security Law, Hong Kong Netizens were in a panic and worried about the implementation of National Security Law and how Freedom of speech will be strangled.

“LIHKG”, a multi-category forum website based in Hong Kong, had a lot of posts on how to install a VPN. Some netizens worried this forum might be forced to shut down and posted, “LIHKG may shut down after tonight. Anything you want to say before choked into silence?” Until 8 pm, we still couldn’t enter “LIHKG”, or the speed was stuttering in browsing. It was theorized to be a DDoS attack by netizens in China.

Also, some netizens found Google didn't show any search hints related to “Yellow” today. However, there was no impact on other words like “red” or “blue”, etc. Netizens questions if it related to “Yellow Economic Circle” and denounced Google for cooperating with China for suppression. The issues persisted until the afternoon.

A netizen posted on Facebook regarding the issue of google’s search result, saying “Just tried to type #yellow in google again. Everything came back.
Mentioned previously: Netizens could find search hints for all colours such as #blue or #black. However, since yesterday, none of the search hints was shown if they type #yellow. The search hints for #yellow came back suddenly after the netizen talking about it for a day. It is weird.”

Badminton athlete Ng Ka-long, who represents Hong Kong in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, was attacked by the pro-Beijing camp for wearing black, although he has won against Lino Munoz, an athlete representing Mexico on July 24, 2021.

The pro-Beijing camp also reprimanded the winning athlete for not showing the emblem of the Hong Kong SAR on his sportswear.

Ng explained on his Instagram page that he had no sponsor for his jersey and did not receive any authorization to print the official emblem on the clothes he prepared for himself. Ng called on people in general to look at the situation before firing critiques.

Africa Eye: Racism for sale

In February 2020 a shocking video began to circulate on Chinese social media. A group of African children are being instructed, by a voice off-camera, to chant phrases in Chinese. The kids repeat the words with smiles and enthusiasm — but they don't understand that what they're being told to say is " I am a black monster and my IQ is low."

The clip ignited outrage in China and beyond. But no-one ever answered some crucial questions: why was this filmed? Where was it shot? Who made it?
