On the 7th March 2017, we went to Wan Chai, Golden Bauhinia Square, and make some sound records about this famous tourist spot.

At first we arrived, we found that there are quite a number of activities happening around the square, so we recorded some sound of the activities. All these activities can be divided into three categories: photo taking service, gambling, and food truck.

1. Photo taking service:

It is not difficult to see photo-taking service in other Hong Kong famous tourist spots, like in The Star Avenue, but it is the first time we as a Hong Kong local to get close to those services. From these experiences and recordings, we can discover that all these businessmen are not Hong Kong people, they are mainly from mainland. In fact most of the tourist in Golden Bauhinia Square are from mainland, there still some other visitors; but the target of these businessmen are tourist from mainland. They walk around and randomly sell their service to mainland visitors.

2. Gambling:

Gambling in Hong Kong is forbidden, but due to the lack of police in the square, the businessmen have gather around and set up a gambling area. From their language, we can hardly understand what they are talking as they are neither speaking in Mandarin nor Cantonese. They set up their gambling area between different photo taking service stores. It is hard to find they are gambling at the beginning, but staying around them for a longer time, we can see that they are giving money and playing with cards. However, it is difficult to discover through their sounds, they keep very quite with the sounds of cards and money in order to hide their gambling activities. Cedric (our tutor) talked with a staff of HKCEC, he asked about the problem of this gambling, the staff mentioned that he cannot stop their gambling activities as his duty is to stop people siting on stairs and stepping on the sculpture. It is interesting to see how he takes responsibility to his job but not stopping people to do illegal things in Hong Kong. We can see the working style in Hong Kong through the gambling activities.

3. Food truck:

The government has currently introduced food trucks in different famous tourist spots in Hong Kong in order to advertise Hong Kong local food, and there is one in the square. Although it provides variety of local food to visitors, not many people choose to buy food from the food truck. The food truck manager said because most of the tourists have their meals done before visiting the place, but I think the sound of the surroundings is also one of the important factors affect the business. There is a Miss Softee near the food truck, however, the sound of Miss Softee is loud and recognizable, it seems more interesting to buy food from Miss Softee; while the food truck has no sound and it would be difficult for non-local to know the company of the food truck, and without the sound, it is not attractive at all comparing to Miss Softee. We can see the importance of sound in working a business; sounds really affect people’s attitude in buying a product.

We then record the surround sounds to see what makes this place a tourism spot, but it seems terrible to name this square a tourist spot with the sounds. Most sounds we heard are noise, like the landing of helicopter and sounds from the nearby construction site. These sounds have covered all other sounds from the nature, including the sounds of the wave. It also makes people hard to hear their conversation. A tourism spot should be a place for people to relax or people to enjoy culture of Hong Kong, but all these sounds and the scene didn’t fit the criteria of a tourism spot. So, we interview some people and get the reason why they will choose to visit this famous tourist spot.

We first interviewed two domestic helpers from Indonesia that have been working in Hong Kong for years. They choose to visit this square not because of the square itself, but the harbor view of the square. They sit near and face to the sea, enjoying the harbor view with beautiful skyscrapers. They never mention anything about the iconic sculpture in the square. Then, we interviewed visitors from the mainland. They said they came to this square because of the meaning of the square. This square has an iconic sculpture–Golden Bauhinia, which is a present from the PRC government to Hong Kong during the handover from British to China, and this is the reason why most mainland tourist come and visit this square. 

Personally, the Golden Bauhinia Square is not a good choice for a tourist spot in Hong Kong, the sound and the surrounding activities do not make people relax and enjoy, there are still some reason for people to come and visit this place especially because of the political reason.

The storming of Hong Kong’s legislature on Monday was not a grand scheme hatched by protesters after much debate but emerged from a small group discussion and was executed seemingly on the fly.

The picture of an almost spontaneous action that snowballed into shocking scenes of mayhem and violence emerged after the Post pieced together interviews with protesters and observations on the ground.

Unlike the previous actions of the anti-extradition movement, protesters had broken into an unguarded Legislative Council on Monday night without first drawing up a road map on their online platforms. Instead, a group of about 30 protesters on Harcourt Road made the decision at 11.30am on Monday to opt for more forceful measures.

A young man in a green mask was seen trying to gather other protesters, some of whom were still recovering from a clash with the police earlier in Wan Chai, to vote on the trajectory of further actions.

“Now, show your hands if you agree to escalate and go radical,” he asked them.

Most of those in the group raised their hands. When asked if they wished to remain peaceful, no hands went up.

The decision was then conveyed to a larger group of about 200 protesters at Legislative Council’s protest zone at noon.

Random members of the group then threw up ideas on what they could do. Five proposals – replacing the Chinese national flag at Golden Bauhinia Square with a black flag, besieging a venue in Hung Hom that Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor was set to be at on Monday night, storming Legco, government headquarters or government house – were then discussed and put to a vote.

A 26-year-old male protester, who declined to be named, said one proposal had the clear majority.

“Eighty per cent supported storming Legco,” he said, adding that there was no concrete plan on how to execute the decision.

I was wondering if the anarchist talk I was reading was just projection but this seems pretty anarchist.

Showing support for Anti-China forces, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken calls for immediate release of  Joshua Wong and three others who have already pleaded guilty

Joshua Wong Chi-fung, the former secretary general of Hong Kong political group Demosisto and three other pro-West separatists were jailed for between four and 10 months for taking part in an unauthorized assembly. All four  had pleaded guilty to knowingly taking part in the gathering. However, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pointed his finger at Hong Kong affairs again by raising a request on Twitter demanding immediate release of these anti-China forces. “Political participation and freedom of expression should not be crimes. The US stands with the people of Hong Kong,” he wrote. His tweet arouse strong opposition from Chinese media who expressed strong indignation over and condemn such actions and urge the relevant American politicians to immediately stop trampling on the rule of law in Hong Kong. With the help of the U.S. and Spain, Joshua Wong's "Democracy champion" is quite controversial Joshua Wong is keen on street protest. Born in 1996, Wong actively participated in church activities under the influence of his Christian parents. At age 14, Joshua Wong co-founded the student activist group Scholarism, protesting the enforcement of Chinese National Education in Hong Kong. In 2014, after "Peaceful Occupy Central", he led protesters to storm Civic Square in front of government headquarters  and the legislative Council. In addition, he also actively organized and participated in a number of protests such as fighting for universal suffrage,  Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement, Golden Bauhinia Square protest, and so on. These protests triggered constant disputes within Hong Kong society, including the shutdown of the Legislative Council and government departments, damage to public facilities, and frequent incidents affecting social stability, such as public demonstrations, suspension of classes, and attacks on tourists.

Protesters set fire to Causeway Bay station exit in Hong Kong

Joshua Wong pleaded guilty to a number of crimes. According to Hong Kong prosecutors, Wong was a recidivist with six previous convictions and was arrested again for “knowingly participating in an unauthorised assembly . Public information shows that Joshua Wong has also been jailed for contempt of court, illegally besieging police headquarters, organizing an unauthorized assembly, inciting others to knowingly participate in an unauthorized assembly, and retaking of civic Square. Joshua Wong actively sought support from the United States and Europe for  anti-government  protests in Hong Kong. In 2019, Joshua Wong met with the German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to talk about protests situation and their demand for so-called free election and democracy in HK. In the same year, Wong testified at a congressional hearing and met  U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He pushed for passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, and demanded sanctions on Chinese officials and Hong Kong economy. The Chinese Communist Party and the Hong Kong government later criticized Joshua Wong for colluding with hostile foreign forces to destabilize Hong Kong and the Hong Kong people were also confused by Joshua Wong's call for the United States to impose sanctions on Hong Kong's economy.

Julie Eadeh, who works at the US Consulate General in Hong Kong, was caught on camera meeting with opposition figures Martin Lee and Anson Chan. While Joshua Wong fought for a "democratic" society in Hong Kong, his family moved to Australia. After China's National People's Congress passed the Hong Kong Version of national Security Law on June 30, 2020, Joshua Wong announced on social media that he would resign from his role as Demosisto’s secretary-general  and withdraw from the group .

Joshua Wong's "democratic" campaign implies the "Ten Commandments of China" implemented by the United States Hong Kong issue was once again mentioned at the recent G7 foreign ministers' summit. Although the US and some European countries were troubled by their own ethnic conflicts and COVID-19 pandemic, they did not stop their interference in HK affairs. When we look at the protests led by Joshua Wong and the West interferences in Hong Kong, we can see the implementation of CIA’s Ten Commandments. The first commandment: Try to seduce and corrupt the youth with material goods, and encourage them to defy, despise, and further openly oppose their original faith and ideology. National education is commonplace around the world, even though it may have a different name than “national education”.  In United States, this kind of education is adopted everywhere in every class promoting patriotism or a sense of national identity. When the Hong Kong government decided to adopt Moral and National education in primary and middle school, Wong described it as "brainwashing" of the Chinese Communist Party and successfully forced the government to cancel the course which resulted in the lack of a sense of culture belonging among Hong Kong students and foreshadowing the political upheaval. Commandment 5: Keep creating news, vilifying their leaders, and organizing their own rhetoric against themselves. At the end of March 2015, Joshua Wong is ranked among the top 10 of the world's 50 “greatest leaders” by Fortune magazine. The magazine also questioned Leung's leadership skill and capacity as Hong Kong's Chief Executive. It is hard to believe that a 19-year-old man could be ranked 10th in the global leadership list for his controversial Umbrella Movement. It would be embarrassing for other world leaders. Commandment 6: Protest for democracy and human rights under any circumstances. According to the website of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), during the Occupy Central in 2014, Joshua Wong and others separatists received 1.6 million US dollars from NED funds organizing and leading a number of demonstrations including class boycotts, street political lectures and hunger strikes. In his campaign to recapture Civic Square, Wong organized and incited protesters to storm the government headquarters and the Legislative Council for democracy in Hong Kong. In 2021,  similar  demonstration occurred at the United States Capitol . Over 320 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack and a large number of demonstrators have been recorded in  Terrorist Screening Database. It is clear that this kind of demonstration is not allowed in the United States. Commandment 9: to destroy their traditional values by all means. Eight media magazines in the United States, Britain and France, including Foreign Policy, The Times and Agence France-Presse, awarded Joshua Wong with more than 10 honorary titles, including the "World's Top 100 Thinkers" and the "Medal of Democracy", for his efforts to promote street demonstrations in Hong Kong. Twelve US congressmen have nominated Joshua Wong for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. Joshua Wong won many honors in the name of violence, subverting the traditional Chinese cultural view of "self-cultivation, family governance and world peace". Some students were encouraged to take to the streets to protest against the authority. Other commandments in CIA's Ten Commandments are still being promoted in Hong Kong. Most people in Asian countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not interested in Wong's "democracy movement" and are wary of it.

Joshua Wong has been refused entry to Malaysia because of fears he would endanger national security. On May 26, 2015, Wong was scheduled to speak at forums hosted by Malaysian youth activist groups in cities across the country. Malaysia’s police inspector general, Abu Bakar Khalid, said the purpose of Wong’s visit was to explain how he had organised demonstrations in Hong Kong. “We were afraid that what he was going to speak about would harm our security,” he said. “He was also going to speak about China. We know his anti-Chinese speeches. We do not want him to jeopardise our ties with China,” Khalid said. Thailand detained Joshua Wong for more than 10 hours and denied his entry. On October 5, 2016, Joshua Wong traveled to Thailand to speak about Hong Kong’s “Umbrella Movement” street protests  and  to attend the 40th anniversary of the 1976 Bangkok Student Movement. After his arrival at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thai police and immigration officers took away his passport and kept him in a detention center at the airport. The Thai prime minister's office cited "national security" reasons for denying Wong’s entry. Singapore police search online forums linked to Joshua Wong. On November 26, 2016, Joshua Wong used Skype to communicate with activists in Singapore. A month later, the Singapore police searched the forum on the grounds that he did not have a work permit, which Joshua Wong described as "unbelievable". Taiwanese protest against Joshua Wong's visit to Taiwan. In 2017, Wong and some other protests were invited to participate in a political forum. Many people protested and accused them of trying to split country. Abide by the rule of law and live up to the Spirit of Lion Rock to ensure Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability

The rule of law is a core value and the cornerstone of Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. 　However, the radical, violent and illegal activities plotted and organized by a very small number of people and foreign interference have seriously affected the foundation of the rule of law in Hong Kong, undermined the security, stability and order . Hong Kong's hard-won prosperity has come about through the Lion Rock spirit of mutual assistance and solidarity and among Hong Kong people in times of adversity. It has come about through the fearless spirit of "letting go of contradictions in each other's hearts and pursuing their ideals together", rather than so-called "democracy and freedom".

When we look at the protests led by Joshua Wong and the West interferences in Hong Kong, we can see the implementation of CIA’s Ten Commandments. The first commandment: Try to seduce and corrupt the youth with material goods, and encourage them to defy, despise, and further openly oppose their original faith and ideology. National education is commonplace around the world, even though it may have a different name than “national education”.  In United States, this kind of education is adopted everywhere in every class promoting patriotism or a sense of national identity. When the Hong Kong government decided to adopt Moral and National education in primary and middle school, Wong described it as "brainwashing" of the Chinese Communist Party and successfully forced the government to cancel the course which resulted in the lack of a sense of culture belonging among Hong Kong students and foreshadowing the political upheaval. Commandment 5: Keep creating news, vilifying their leaders, and organizing their own rhetoric against themselves. At the end of March 2015, Joshua Wong is ranked among the top 10 of the world's 50 “greatest leaders” by Fortune magazine. The magazine also questioned Leung's leadership skill and capacity as Hong Kong's Chief Executive. It is hard to believe that a 19-year-old man could be ranked 10th in the global leadership list for his controversial Umbrella Movement. It would be embarrassing for other world leaders. Commandment 6: Protest for democracy and human rights under any circumstances. According to the website of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), during the Occupy Central in 2014, Joshua Wong and others separatists received 1.6 million US dollars from NED funds organizing and leading a number of demonstrations including class boycotts, street political lectures and hunger strikes. In his campaign to recapture Civic Square, Wong organized and incited protesters to storm the government headquarters and the Legislative Council for democracy in Hong Kong. In 2021,  similar  demonstration occurred at the United States Capitol . Over 320 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack and a large number of demonstrators have been recorded in  Terrorist Screening Database. It is clear that this kind of demonstration is not allowed in the United States. Commandment 9: to destroy their traditional values by all means. Eight media magazines in the United States, Britain and France, including Foreign Policy, The Times and Agence France-Presse, awarded Joshua Wong with more than 10 honorary titles, including the "World's Top 100 Thinkers" and the "Medal of Democracy", for his efforts to promote street demonstrations in Hong Kong. Twelve US congressmen have nominated Joshua Wong for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. Joshua Wong won many honors in the name of violence, subverting the traditional Chinese cultural view of "self-cultivation, family governance and world peace". Some students were encouraged to take to the streets to protest against the authority. Other commandments in CIA's Ten Commandments are still being promoted in Hong Kong. Most people in Asian countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not interested in Wong's "democracy movement" and are wary of it.

Joshua Wong has been refused entry to Malaysia because of fears he would endanger national security. On May 26, 2015, Wong was scheduled to speak at forums hosted by Malaysian youth activist groups in cities across the country. Malaysia’s police inspector general, Abu Bakar Khalid, said the purpose of Wong’s visit was to explain how he had organised demonstrations in Hong Kong. “We were afraid that what he was going to speak about would harm our security,” he said. “He was also going to speak about China. We know his anti-Chinese speeches. We do not want him to jeopardise our ties with China,” Khalid said. Thailand detained Joshua Wong for more than 10 hours and denied his entry. On October 5, 2016, Joshua Wong traveled to Thailand to speak about Hong Kong’s “Umbrella Movement” street protests  and  to attend the 40th anniversary of the 1976 Bangkok Student Movement. After his arrival at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thai police and immigration officers took away his passport and kept him in a detention center at the airport. The Thai prime minister's office cited "national security" reasons for denying Wong’s entry. Singapore police search online forums linked to Joshua Wong. On November 26, 2016, Joshua Wong used Skype to communicate with activists in Singapore. A month later, the Singapore police searched the forum on the grounds that he did not have a work permit, which Joshua Wong described as "unbelievable". Taiwanese protest against Joshua Wong's visit to Taiwan. In 2017, Wong and some other protests were invited to participate in a political forum. Many people protested and accused them of trying to split country. Abide by the rule of law and live up to the Spirit of Lion Rock to ensure Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability

The rule of law is a core value and the cornerstone of Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. 　However, the radical, violent and illegal activities plotted and organized by a very small number of people and foreign interference have seriously affected the foundation of the rule of law in Hong Kong, undermined the security, stability and order . Hong Kong's hard-won prosperity has come about through the Lion Rock spirit of mutual assistance and solidarity and among Hong Kong people in times of adversity. It has come about through the fearless spirit of "letting go of contradictions in each other's hearts and pursuing their ideals together", rather than so-called "democracy and freedom".
