Catholic Newspaper Makes Unauthorized Deletions in Article Critical of HK Government and Police
An article by the Justice and Peace Commission of the Hong Kong Catholic Diocese was printed in the Catholic newspaper Kung Kao Po, but with statements removed without the commission's consent.
The deleted content included criticisms against the Hong Kong government's decisions during the Anti-ELAB movement, as well as the police's lack of respect for human life.
In a response to media, Kung Kao Po said they hope the Commission would respect their editorial freedom, and denied that they were ordered to censor their content.
The article, titled "What Price a Life?", was printed in the Justice and Peace Commission column in issue #4006 of the newspaper.
According to a statement by the Commission, the newspaper deleted parts of the article, and published the edited version without their consent: "We hereby solemnly declare that the edited article has no relation to us."
The commission had contacted the paper multiple times to express that they did not accept the edit, "yet their chief editor did not respect our wishes, and published in our column the edited version, which we do not agree with. We deeply regret the paper's decision."
The original text provided by the Commission shows that three sentences were deleted by the paper. These included statements critical of the government and police force during the anti-ELAB movement:
"Yet the government had also made decisions during the anti-ELAB movement that caused the public to worry that a humanitarian crisis may be developing."
"However, the non-elected HKSAR government has time and again neglected human dignity; if the police force, which ought to defend the safety of the people, had neglected the value of human life; how can such a Hong Kong be repaired and restored?"
"Even though speaking the truth today may cause an 'even higher level' threat to be brought down upon us, we can no longer fall back and compromise."

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”.

HK Gov't Links Emergency Broadcast System to All Phones in Hong Kong
The Hong Kong government announced on Nov 26, 2020 a new emergency warning system. The government will be able to send messages to all cell phones in Hong Kong in the event of emergencies which the government regards as a risk of widespread life and property damage.
These messages would be broadcast to all cell phones connected to the mobile networks in Hong Kong. The messages are classified at two levels: "emergency warning" and "extreme emergency warning".
At either level, the phones will ring and vibrate for 10 seconds. At the "extreme" level, the warning cannot be rejected through phone settings.
The authorities state that warning messages would, for instance, be sent in the event of extreme weather causing widespread infrastructure damage, major public safety incidents, or large-scale public health emergencies.
In addition to the new system, existing communication channels such as radio, TV, and social media will continue to be used.

With frozen good clampdown China points overseas as source of coronavirus
Chinese state media have cited the presence of the coronavirus on imported frozen food packaging, as well as scientific papers claiming that the coronavirus was circulating in Europe earlier than previously believed, as evidence that China may not have been its origin.
Unlike other countries, China cites frozen food packaging as a risk of spreading COVID-19, even though the World Health Organization (WHO) says neither food nor packaging is a known transmission route.
The Global Times, a nationalist tabloid published by the People’s Daily, has also promoted the theory that COVID-19 originated outside China.

Chinese media step up campaign to muddy probe into Covid oigins
People’s Daily, the official Chinese Communist party (CCP) said in a Facebook that “all available evidence” suggested the virus “did not start in central China’s Wuhan”, citing Chinese experts.
“These clues all point to imported cold chain seafood being the outbreak’s origin”, Wu Zunyou, China’s Centre for Disease Control.
China are open for the investigation into the origins of the virus. However, the first team sent by the World Health Organization (WHO) to establish guidelines for later studies failed to visit Wuhan drawing criticism from US diplomats.
Michael Ryan, the WHO Health Emergencies Programme executive, said that the team should start the search in Wuhan and follow the evidence from there.

Hanbok or Hanfu? Chinese Dress Up Game Sparks Debate, South Korean Professor Demands Apology from Developer
Shining Nikki, a dress up game by the Chinese developer Papergames, has caused controversy earlier for launching a Korean-style outfit named “Gunyun Chonghua”. The outfit drew criticism from a number of Chinese players, who claimed it was not Korean hanbok but hanfu from the Ming dynasty, while some Korean players insisted that it is hanbok. As the row intensified, the developer closed its newly opened server in Korea while slamming some of its Korean players for having “insulted China” and stepped over the line. The shutdown did not put an end to the quarrel. According to the Yonhap News Agency, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at South Korea’s Sungshin Women’s University, has written to Papergames in protest of the way it handled the incident and demanded that it apologize to South Korean netizens.

Australian Top Diplomat says China's Power “mistaken”, should not resort to “pressure and coercion”
The trade relation between China and Australia continues to be tense, with more than 50 vessels carrying hundreds of millions of Australia Dollar worth of coal hindered in unloading and clearing customs at Chinese ports recently. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) General Secretary Frances Adamson said China should not resort to “pressure or coercion”, nor should it attempt to override established norms on engaging the world.
Adamson said that China rise in power may have reached to a point where it believes that it can largely set the terms of its future engagement with the world, rather than adopting international standard. “If it has, I believe it is mistaken”, she spoke in a speech Wednesday at the National Security College of the Australia's National University (ANU). She explained that China does not need to resort to “pressure or coercion”, there is far more to be gained for China, and for other countries, through working collaboratively within the international system.
Adamson believed that China should understand that “No power this large and globally integrated can escape scrutiny or debate". It has to carefully consider other countries' reactions to its conduct internationally. Adamson point out that, in addition to China relations, Australia has to consider U.S.' attitude, emphasized that “Defining the character of our enduring peace isn't just about China. We have to be influential with the United States, too.”

Canadians who say they’ve been targeted by foreign agents want coordinated response
Four victims of threats and intimidation by Iranian, Chinese and Russian foreign agents joined a Parliament Hill press conference on Thursday, where they gave harrowing accounts of harassment by foreign agents operating on Canadian soil. They said Canadian domestic police forces have proven ill-equipped to deal with their concerns.
These four people are husband of a deceased in the Boeing jet fired by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, members of Canada’s Tibetan and Uighur communities, a Canadian filmmaker and journalist who specializes in Russia.
A private member’s bill from Conservative MP Garnett Genuis calling on the federal government to take stronger action against foreign interference.

Chinese fishing plant in Torres Strait raises alarm for Australian industry and islanders
“Under the influence of China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ policy, Fujian Zhonghong Fishery Company decided to invest in Papua New Guinean (PNG) and signed the memorandum of understanding with PNG’s fisheries minister, Lino Tom.
A $200m Chinese-built fishery plant planned for a Papua New Guinean island could allow Chinese-backed commercial vessels to fish legally in the Torres Strait, and has raised concerns about unregulated fishing in the same waters, potentially threatening the Australian industry and local PNG fishers.
This deal could allow Chinese-backed commercial vessels to fish legally in the Torres Strait, and attract Chinese funding for PNG-flagged vessels.
In August 2020, nearly 300 Chinese vessels logged 73,000 hours of fishing in a month, hauling in thousands of tonnes of squid and fish.

Hong Kong Court-apported liquidator attempts to take control of the #AppleDailyTaiwan Assets
On November 26, 2021, the Taiwan based Economic Democracy Union (#EDU) warned potential breaches of human rights and national security ramifications after a Hong Kong court-appointed liquidator sought permission to order Taiwan-based #AppleDaily and #NextMagazine to turn over all of their assets.
The union, a consortium of non-governmental organizations, urged the Taiwan government to take immediate action to ensure that Hong Kong’s #NationalSecurityLaw would have no foothold in #Taiwan.
According to a lawyer of the EDU, Taiwan would be in its rights to ignore the demands because they have not been reviewed by Taiwanese courts, and because Taiwanese courts can decline to enforce foreign laws.
Likewise, the EDU has framed the issue as significant in needing to prevent the Hong Kong National Security Law from encroaching upon Taiwanese sovereignty. The EDU also emphasized the potential dangers if the Apple Daily turned over information to Hong Kong authorities as a result of the seizure of its assets.
The liquidator is court-appointed, following the Apple Daily’s closure in June 2021. Hong Kong courts also froze 18 million Hong Kong dollars in company funds, preventing it from paying its workers, not long after courts moved to freeze assets of company CEO #JimmyLai.
