The resolution allows Hong Kong authorities to bypass the court system to unseat lawmakers – a measure critics say will be used against opposition lawmakers voicing dissent over Beijing’s increased control over the semi-autonomous territory.
Minutes after the legislation was announced by Chinese state media, the Hong Kong government released a statement disqualifying four pro-democracy legislators. Among those were the Civic Party’s Alvin Yeung, Kwok Ka-ki and Dennis Kwok and Kenneth Leung of the Professionals Guild.
All four lawmakers had already been barred from running in legislative elections originally scheduled for September. The legislative body’s 19 opposition lawmakers on Monday threatened to resign en masse should any of them be disqualified.

Hong Kong Budget 2020: HK$10,000 cash handout does nothing to tackle systemic injustice, says democrat
Hong Kong’s democrats have said that the 2020 budget’s showpiece HK$10,000 handout has diverted Hongkongers’ attention from long-term issues facing marginalised groups. Finance chief Paul Chan’s raft of sweeteners announced on Wednesday also overshadowed an almost 25 per cent increase in the police force budget, opposition lawmakers said. The Labour Party’s Fernando Cheung told HKFP that the instant happiness of a cash handout does nothing to tackle systemic injustice: “One-off measures totalling to HK$120 billion largely benefit tycoons and big corporations,” adding that self-employed workers remain neglected. Cheung said grassroots people were the biggest losers in the budget as there had been a rise in layoffs, despite Chan claiming his measures were about “supporting enterprises [and] safeguarding jobs.” Social welfare policies such as the provision of 3,000 additional home care service plans for the elderly fell short of satisfying the high demand, Cheung said. The legislator suggested a HK$30 billion unemployment assistance fund to help low-income families with rent. He also presented a pie chart showing that Chan’s HK$71.2 billion cash handout made up 57 per cent of the total one-off relief measures: “Whilst only 9 per cent went to the grassroots who suffered the most in difficult times.” Cheung was among several democrats who questioned the budget increase for the police, in light of the recent protests: “The police force is the biggest winner… [Chief Executive] Carrie Lam wants to continue governing the city with the police force.” Civic Party chairperson Alvin Yeung echoed the concern: “A HK$42,647,000 increase in expenditure for ‘specialised crowd management vehicles’? Have we not witnessed enough police brutality?” “The cash handout could be scrutinised and approved by the Finance Committee independently from the budget,” said Yeung, whilst Tanya Chan added the handout could have been passed last week if it had been included in the coronavirus relief package.

HONG KONG UPDATE 18 NOV 2019
Day 3 of Siege of PolyU
Police corner students. Threaten to use live ammunition. Hide in ambulances to arrest students. Tell students to leave but then arrest them. Then now they won’t allow them to leave.

Police inside the entrance, caught on video kicking ppl on the ground. A large area by the Chung Sze Yuen building quickly engulfed in flames. Firefighters later arrived and put blaze under control. At least several casualties, severity and cause unclear. Police later issued a statement at 0625 ‘clarifying’ that officers never raided the university despite video showing them inside campus. Shameless and lying as always. Kong Tsung-gan reports that citizens scattered as police entered. Initially, police began arresting those they could catch, but most citizens ran to upper levels. Just as police were about to give chase, huge fires broke out on the lower level. The fires were so intense and covering so much of the lower level in huge flames, tha the police had to evacuate. Police have not re-entered from 0530-0600 and remaining citizens have regrouped.
0537: PolyU. A Core is abuzz with activity. Many have been fighting pitched battles nonstop as they repel wave after wave of police advances backed by teargas and water cannon.
0539: PolyU. Explosions heard after citizens try to defend with fire.
0543: Unknown. Reporter Galileo Cheng says that the bunch of journos are leaving and the police fired pepper bullets onto them.
0546: PolyU. Most citizens have retreated into campus while the front entrance is on fire, likely to keep police from entering and making mass arrests. Live feeds scarce as many key local media not inside campus.
0550: PolyU. Similar situation at bridge connecting PolyU to Hung Hom MTR stn - fire barrier.

0600: LIHKG users call for full-scale rush to PolyU at 0700.
0603: PolyU. At least 3 injured carried out.
0635: PolyU. The smoke from the fires at PolyU rises high up into the heavens. Across the Victoria Harbour, reporter Su Xinqi sees it enveloping a large area of the sky. Countless cars and citizens have spent the whole night waiting on roads around the area locked down by riot police.

2056: British citizen trapped inside PolyU but UK Consulate won’t help. Canadian citizen trapped too, same attitude by Canada Consulate apparently, I assume it’s the exchange student that I saw sending SOS messages on Facebook uni confessions pages because they had no way to make the consulate be willing to help them. Hong Kong citizens complaining about it online.
2103: Kowloon. Impressive throwing from citizens who return teargas to police. Another line of citizens moving from Jordan Rd, successfully forcing riot police back.

Unknown (deliberately not revealed; def before 2130): PolyU. Ppl from PolyU abseil down hose down from a bridge linking its main campus to the northern Z Core campus where they were picked up by motorcyclists. Apple Daily reports that around 100 escaped this way before the route was discovered by police. Most of those who manage to get on bikes escaped, but some and their drivers got caught too. Some of the PolyU ppl who couldn’t hold onto the hose fell from height and hurt themselves but they limped as much as they could. This entire surreal escape went on for a good 40 mins before police stopped it. At least 50 or more citizens got out, motorcycles carrying around 3 each time and coming back quickly and taking turns. Police fired teargas, and the motorcyclists braved it. The route was closed completely and police are now watching it closely. A line of arrested ppl with hands raised seen through binoculars.

2228: Kowloon. Citizens do a hectic retreat from Hung Hom bypass back down to Salisbury Rd after dozens of riot police move in from further along the elevated highway.
2230: Kowloon. Bridge cleared quickly by police after lots of teargas and Raptors appear at the top. Earlier there was a minute of jubilant cheering as it appeared ppl had made it to the PolyU entrance. Evidently the success didn’t last for long.
2234: Kowloon. Massive barrage of teargas on Salisbury Rd. One block away, gun fires and sound of petrol b*mbs being smashed can be heard.

2259: Kowloon. Battle on Waterloo Rd. Barrage of teargas from riot police, but some gutsy citizens return almost immediately after the gas disperses, and try to swing a brick or two at police if they can. Centenary Garden is now surrounded by multiple frontlines too, ppl facing off police on Chatham Rd South, Salisbury Rd, Mody Rd and other streets. Gun fires heard once in a while.
2307: PolyU. Several “doves” from both the pro-Beijing and pro-democracy camps are allowed to enter PolyU to jointly visit the students. They include ex-LegCo Pres Jasper Tang (pro-Beijing), HKU law lecturer Eric Cheung (pro-democracy) and education sector lawmaker Ip Kin-yuen (pro-democracy).

2311: Kowloon. Umbrellas, wooden planks and mattresses now form a mobile barricade across Nathan Rd. Everything between frontline and police is either burning or in pieces.
2315: Vehicle nerds discover weakness of armoured cars and water cannon trucks which explains why the armoured car is so vulnerable to fire even though those inside are not in any danger from Molotovs. Because the engine overheats.

2326: PolyU. Students ask what to do if they are beaten by police. Legal scholar Eric Cheung says that they should take a photo before they are arrested to show that they have no injuries. He adds that it is not easy to convict all of them as it doesn’t mean police have sufficient evidence to charge them.
2327: PolyU. Ex-LegCo pres Jasper Tsang promises to escort the PolyU ppl outside peacefully. Several large explosions are heard in the background. Emmm it’s not only a prob of being escorted peacefully or not, but the fact that you are being arrested and charged with ‘rioting’ which is 10 years jail, for something you did NOT do? For doing NOTHING at all? The students say that they are not afraid of going to police stn but of the violence they could face there. They propose to the adults that each side steps back to reach a peaceful solution where police and students both leave peacefully. Eric Cheung and Jasper Tsang promise to bring word to the police. Lawmaker Ip Kin-yuen wrote on FB that students under 18 will not be arrested, but police will keep their mugshots and info and reserve rights to pursue. Ip and 20 secondary school heads have entered PolyU to take some 150 students home.
2329: Kowloon. Citizens retreat as riot police charge, a number arrested and tackled to ground. 1 shouts ID number as he’s arrested. A riot police officer completely loses it and screams at press to move back even though they are filming from a distance and a safe spot. He pushes so hard the journos trip and fall. 10+bangs that sound too loud to be less=lethal weapons like teargas, and too well-timed to be stun grenades. Unsure what they are. Sounds like gunfire but looks like flashbangs. Ppl do not react like it was gunfire. No reports of gun-related injuries at that time.
2330: Kowloon. On north of Nathan Rd, police have pushed back lines of citizens from Jordan to Yau Ma Tei. Many citizens still gathered in south in Tsim Sha Tsui.

0031: Yau ma Tei. Deploying a commonly-seen tactic seen over the months, riot police isolate and encircle dozens of citizens before arresting them en masse. It is said that police from all 18 Districts have joined the Kowloon operations.

Lam has said repeatedly that the quest for new land supply cannot be delayed any longer. But her long term vision for housing may be another casualty of her personal crisis.
The plan to build a vast artificial island in Hong Kong waters is nowhere near to getting started. The government had scheduled a session to ask for legislators’ approval to fund an environmental study on the project.
Originally at the top of the lawmakers’ list, the government has just pushed it back towards the bottom – meaning that the funding request is unlikely to be debated in the current legislative year (which ends this summer).
“This is a pity. Unlike the extradition law, the East Lantau Metropolis (ELM) project has a lot of public support, but now it will suffer further delays,” Chan Kin-por, the chairman of the legislative council’s finance committee, told reporters on Wednesday.
“Carrie Lam is already a lame duck. How could a chief executive as lame as her push forward such a controversial policy,” Alvin Yeung, a pan-democrat and leader of the Civic Party, added.
Delays or outright cancellation of the Lantau project would suit the city’s property tycoons. That’s because a mega project like the $80 billion ELM has the potential to reverse the course of the real estate market yet again by massively boosting supply. Ergo the main winners of the past fortnight might turn out to be the city’s tycoon families. On the one hand, a hobbled Lam will be less able to upset the status quo in the property market by steamrollering opposition to the ELM; on the other, a lapsed extradition bill lessens the risks to investor confidence in Hong Kong, keeping the local businesses of these tycoons humming along nicely.
If you don’t want Hong Kong to extradite people to China you’re a NIMBY

Justice Secretary Teresa Cheng on Monday dismissed suggestions that the government's gathering ban is being abused to clamp down on protests here.
Pro-democracy lawmakers at a meeting of Legco's legal services panel had accused the police of misusing the anti-epidemic measure to clamp down on recent protests.
They said this was just one example of how the rule of law in Hong Kong is “decaying” under Cheng’s watch.
Legislators pointed to a police statement on Sunday that any group of over four people would be breaking the law if they're at a public place together for a common purpose, even if they split up into smaller groups spaced at least 1.5 metres apart.
Cheng told reporters afterwards that there are many factors in play, including whether such gatherings are organised and how long they last.
She said for example, people lining up for a bus most wouldn’t be in breach of the ban. But she was adamant that the regulation is not being used to clamp down on peoples’ freedoms.
Cheng said the ban “is promulgated with a view to encourage social distancing. It is not with any other motive except with the safety and health of the people in Hong Kong”
“Hong Kong government respects and protects the freedoms that are set out in our laws: Basic Law and the Bill of Rights Ordinance”, she added.
Lawmakers also hounded her for an explanation of the government's position on how the Basic Law applies to Beijing's Liaison Office here.
There's been an ongoing row over whether the office is subject to Article 22 of the mini-constitution that prohibits mainland departments from interfering in local affairs.
Cheng reiterated the government's position that this particular article doesn't apply because of the historical circumstances in which the office was set up, and the nature of the office.
But she said it nonetheless is bound by the Chinese Constitution to follow both the Basic Law, and Hong Kong laws.
"Constitution law, Article 5. It states unequivocally that every body, that is set up, will have to comply with the relevant laws and the constitution law," she said.
But Civic Party leader Alvin Yeung, who is also a barrister, disagreed with her interpretation.
"The only article that is relevant in the whole Basic Law is Article 22," he said "That is to prohibit departments from the central government from interfering in local business."
"If Teresa Cheng is saying, 'No, hang on. They are not subject to that', then which article is applicable? If you are subject to the whole piece of the Basic Law, then of course, an important part of the Basic Law – Article 22 – cannot be taken away."
Cheng also reiterated that the office hasn't interfered in local affairs, because it has the responsibility to supervise Hong Kong as a representative of the Central government, on the implementation of Basic Law and one country and two systems.

Riot police then arrived to apprehend the protesters. However, one undercover officer wearing a blue shirt and a black backpack was pushed against a wall by a fellow, masked undercover officer and riot police. Meanwhile, a second undercover officer wearing a black cloth to cover his face was also tackled by riot police.
Someone on the scene shouted: “Hey, fuck you, we are on the same team!” before the two undercover officers were released.
The police had deployed officers masquerading as protesters several times during the ongoing protests. More than 6,000 people have been arrested during the past six months, including some by undercover police.
Civic Party lawmaker Alvin Yeung said the police should explain the incident.
“There are two possibilities: It was either that the police have been abusing their power and making arrests at will, or the plainclothes officers committed unlawful acts and were caught by riot police,” he told Apple Daily.
Police Public Relations Branch Senior Superintendent Kong Wing-cheung said the incident was only a misunderstanding and it was quickly resolved: “We will always try our best not to wrongly target our own officers. But as you [can] see, in a lot of situations, it’s very chaotic,” he said during a Friday press conference.
yes the dilemma that either the undercover cops were rightfully arrested for breaking the law or wrongfully arrested just for “being in the wrong place at the wrong time” like so many other protesters is amusing, but as long as police have broad powers to disperse crowds at will it’s not really something you can call them on.
