How well the are Blue companies doing? 3/3

(23 Jun) I think that some of my readers are quite mischievous.
When I saw that Starbucks had just closed down,
my emotions were stirred up.
Little did I know that my readers wouldn't let me calm down,
and insisted on messaging me to tell me
that Simply Life on Electric Road the next block over closed down as well,
making me run over to take a photo for remembrance.
The reason I took this photo is to bear witness
to how Maxim's uniquely agonising method abandons Hongkongers little by little

Infiltrate the academia?

Do you find it similar to Taiwan?

Tibetans' self-immolations are perturbing the Chinese Communist Party?

Can't understand why Hongkongers wear masks when protesting on the streets?

As for whether or not the Taiwanese are Chinese, it's politically impossible at this stage, yet culturally inseparable.

Don't get mad, I'm only kidding. Everything above is just analogies. What I have just said is useless anyway.

“Hitler knew that it was not easy to buy off the American media. Gaining support and sympathy from the most prestigious schools in the US was the most effective way to clean Nazi Germany's name. This is the same strategy employed by China.

“Harvard’s James Bryant Conant was one such university president who fell into this trap. He did not like the Nazi regime at all but held extremely tolerant feelings towards Germany, believing that culture and politics could be separated; this was exactly what the Nazis wanted.

“His academic purism caused him to turn a blind eye to Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews. He refused to criticise Nazi Germany and even rationalised all of Germany's actions. He believed that the Nazis were justified by their unfair treatment after World War I.

“With the university president behaving as such, his dean likewise did not lag behind. Roscoe Pound, the Dean of Harvard Law School, graciously accepted an honorary degree from the University of Berlin in 1934. When he returned to the US, he kept talking about all he saw and heard in the new Germany. He insisted that no matter how long they lived there, the Nazi regime would never persecute Jewish people and scholars.”

The political purge in every business is also a chance for the rise of the alternative economy. Keep going!

(19 Jun)Mak Hoi Ching, Alex, who played character "Si Lo Si" in a Hong Kong TV drama “The Exorcist's 2nd Meter”, is rumoured to be arrested because of joining the social political movement last year. He is suspended from all TVB (Television Broadcasts Limited, the major broadcasting company in HK) related projects and excluded from all promotions for the TV drama. After the show has ended, his name can no longer be found on any TVB’s artist lists. Rumour has it that his cooperation relationship with TVB has already terminated.

Mak posted a photo of his character on Instagram. His post also involved some implications as he wrote, “Very grateful for the support from the crew and audiences. No matter what, I will continue to expel evil spirit for this world. “

As the most expensive private hospital in Hong Kong, HKSH MEDICAL GROUP received 86 million HKD from the government’s financial subsidy

(22 Jun)The Hong Kong government released a list of companies that received the financial subsidy. Among those companies, HKSH MEDICAL GROUP (business included the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, HKSH) received the most money, with nearly 86 million HKD. You are reading this right, a hospital that most of the Hong Kongers cannot afford, received the most funding.

As the most expensive private hospital in Hong Kong, it has many rich clients. In the past decade, clients from mainland China were the main source of financial income. The hospital was gaining so much profit so that the salary of the doctors also kept raising.
Why is HKSH still asking the Hong Kong government for money? Firstly, if financial aid is available, why should one refuse the aid? Secondly, the hospital greatly profited from the China mainland clients, so it can rely on their spending. In 2014, it used 140 million HKD to purchase the entire Eastwood Centre in Shau Kei Wan, then re-developed it into HKSH Eastern Medical Centre, which mainly used as a cancer treatment centre. Additionally, it rented a commercial centre nearby, in order to further expand its business.

The centre was expected to start running in 2019. However, the US-China trade war and Hong Kong anti-extradition law protests resulted in the lack of mainland China clients. Suddenly, all of its rich clients from mainland China are gone, yet the hospital invested the money already. All it can do now is to ask the government for money and let Hong Kong citizens pay the bill.

Of course, the incident at HKSH was only the tip of an iceberg. There are many more companies in Hong Kong which rely on money from China but ignore the problems Hong Kongers are facing. When something bad happens, they just ask Hong Kongers for money to fix the problem. For example, Hong Kong Ocean Park's financial problems.
The saddest thing is, Hong Kongers are being robbed because they cannot even say “No!”.

Who else still dares to speak up?

🍎 Yesterday, the front page of all Hong Kong newspapers were taken over by the Chinese Communist Party
🍏 Apple Daily, why are you brutally honest!!!!?

Hongkonger friends said, "When dawn breaks on 1 July, the streets will be full of five-starred red flags [national flag of the People's Republic of China].
"Even when you send your kids to school, a five-starred red flag also hangs inside....."

Never thought we'd see this in our lifetime.

Chinese Embassies in the world stop passport renewal and issuing new passports

Image 1:
My friend's Chinese passport will expire the second half of this year. He went to the Chinese embassy to renew the passport in March but the embassy kept postponing the appointment date. My friend got a notification in April for appointment then got change to July. He called today and was informed that the passport can't be renewed because the factory in China stopped the passport production. The Chinese embassy recommended him to go back to China first.

This is the third case that Chinese embassy rejected a renewal passport application. This round of locking down of China is coming violently and rapidly.

Image 2:
A Chinese embassy in Tokyo also refused to issue new passports.

Image 3:
This is what overseas Uyghurs have experienced all these years. No passports is issued to them, they are only given travel permits, and have to go back to China to get passports. And once they go back to China for passports, they are sent to concentration camps. At that time when the Uyghurs came out and shouted such policy was unfair, many Chinese didn’t believe it. Now it’s good, every person, one by one, is entering Xinjiang mode. It seems it won’t be too long to see concentration camps in places other than Xinjiang in mainland China!

Canada is suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong. Meanwhile, declassified files show Canada's concerns over the extradition arrangement with Hong Kong after 1997, and how it might draw interference from the Chinese government.

Premier's Highlights: Inspection Of Flooded Areas.

(9 Jul) Knowing to put mud on the shoes is indeed a professional "method acting", which enhances the credibility of the script and the picture. Method acting is best known from James Dean who made it flourish in the 1950s. By the way, the other officials are just unprofessional extras. 😂

Three loopholes in the Hong Kong government anti-epidemic measures;
Disservice by Carrie Lam (Hong Kong Chief Executive); Outbreak of an epidemic

1. Permit the exemption of specific groups of people from compulsory quarantine arrangement

Between Feb – May 2020, more than 200 thousand people on arrival have had an exemption of mandatory quarantine.
Exemption of 32 type of groups from compulsory quarantine arrangement including cross-border students, businessman, government officer, national security personnel, military, cross-border services

2. Unknown source of an epidemic; Loosen group gathering regulation

The outbreak happened in Lek Yuen Estate in June, but the government didn't trace the source.
Withdraw limitation in restaurants, wedding banquet, etc.
Overcrowded indoor is the threat of transmission.
This current outbreak was just two weeks after relaxing group gathering restriction.

3. Insufficient testing per day

The Hong Kong government conducted 3600 tests per day on average in June. Had a massive test for high-risk groups (staffs in a residential care home).
But, Dr. Yuen Kwok-yung suggested having 7500 tests per day, including those patients with mild symptoms.
Government anti-epidemic measurements are perfunctory. Let asymptomatic patients spreading the virus freely in the community.
In the end, civilians bear consequences. A heinous crime!

90% of popular vote by Japanese netizens against Chinese tourists visiting

(27 Jul) On 22 July, the Japanese government announced that it would begin negotiations with 12 countries, including Taiwan, on measures to ease restrictions on business travel. A Japanese netizen recently tweeted, "I would like to ask everyone a question: after the pandemic ends, which nation's visitors would you least wish to visit Japan?" The options included the USA, Taiwan, China, and Other (countries). In the end, 21048 people voted. 89.5% of Japanese netizens chose China.

This response greatly upset Chinese netizens, who retorted, "You don't want us to come but you want to take our money?"

Taiwanese netizens laughed and said, "The Japanese understand that Taiwan and China are separate", "How have I not seen any Chinese netizens saying that Taiwan is not a country lol" and "What a surprise, looks like we're different from China XD".

Knowing what the Hong Kong vetting officer said, I am worried for those who casted an "objection'" vote or "abstention" vote on the enactment of the National Security Law in Hong Kong during the National People’s Congress.

Image Content:
Opposing the National Security Law, and opposing Hong Kong on discharging its constitutional duty to safeguard national security, means the person objectively cannot have the intention to uphold the Basic Law.

Discovery in Fairwood: HIKVISION thermal camera

What is HIKVISION?

//“The Courier” reported HIKVISION manufactures surveillance facilities used by the CCP in suppressing Tibetan and Uyghur populations and installed in detention camps in Xinjiang. Their products have already been banned from sale in the US.//
(Fairwood wanna make people happy?)

//“The Mercury”, which is owned by a Media tycoon of Rupert Murdoch and the editorial department is in Hobart, reported on 15 August with the heading of “Concern over Chinese ‘spy’ cameras near parliament”.

In the report, O’Connor, leader of United Tasmania Group and councillor of House of Assembly, stated that HIKVISION communication products not only have a security concern but also the company has deliberately created loopholes.”//
(For just to dine, do I have to have my data sent to the neighboring country?)

//HIKVISON SSD is in crisis lately. A famous KOL in China alleged NAND Flash chips in its high-end SSD model, “C200, has been changed to inferior parts. In another model of consumer-grade, “C160 SSD”, it was used-NAND collected from a Western Digital (WD) drive. Many chinese users have made videos on this debacle. So, its image in mainland China has been blemished.

It’s not the first time for HIKVISION to have an integrity issue. Customers have complained about suspicious false advertisement of HIKVISION C2000 SSD. The promotion material mentioned Toshiba Memory Chips, but Micron Chips was used in products. After videos circulate on the internet, HIKVISION removed its products and amended product information rapidly. All wordings of “Toshiba Chips” have been completed removed and replaced by “3D TLC.//
(Really make the best possible use of the epidemic, responds to comrade Xi’s call long time ago)

This is too scary, the era of big data, I...

Editor’s note: From the internet censorship to facial recognition and more recently, the health code, China has been establishing policies to control the human behaviour of Chinese people. However, cannot hold the fire, it is possible that Chinese people ,like the one who posted the above concern to the internet, are going to have more doubts about the Chinese apps, the monitoring and the Chinese government.

(16 Aug) This could be the most horrifying photo I have seen recently!

I have heard people say that Taobao may monitor the keyboard, search history and even sound [from microphone] for big data analysis and goods recommendation. I was doubtful about this and thought that maybe it is possible, but not to that god-like extend...

But the fact has exceeded my imagination!

The 25kg skimmed formula powder... My god... Even without asking we know that this is not any common product...

Yesterday I bought a chair and the seller packed the chair with this bag [of the 25kg formula powder]. With no verbal description, no taking of photos, no word-typing, under zero actions [regarding the packaging], today my Taobao homepage recommended me product in the same packaging!

I then recalled the memory. Yesterday, the only action related to Taobao was when I was installing the chair, I opened up Taobao and bought other goods on the website. Does that mean that when I opened up the Taobao page, my camera was working? Was it scanning the image beside me?!

(12 Sep) I was told by a shrimp trawling fishermen that it was the Chinese national security officials who crossed the border to abduct 12 Hongkongers in Hong Kong waters on that day, so no Hong Kong lawyers were allowed to visit them. I dare the Chinese Communist Party to reveal the exact time and coordinates they abducted the 12 Hongkongers, somebody filmed the location where they were abducted.
Cross-border hostage-taking, denial of access to prisoners, and the fear of her lies being exposed, Carrie Lam has violated her oath of office to protect the lives and property of Hongkongers.
