Residents from Hong Kong and Macau will enjoy greater convenience in Zhaoqing! The new policy is set to be implemented soon
On April 29th, the Zhaoqing Municipal Government held a press conference to announce the “Zhaoqing’s Measures for Facilitating the Lives of Hong Kong and Macau Residents.” The conference was attended by Zhu Jingliang, Deputy Secretary-General of the Zhaoqing Municipal Government, Zhang Xiao, member of the Development and Reform Bureau and Deputy Director of the Greater Bay Area Office, Li Manjun, Deputy Secretary and Deputy Director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Huang Cailing, Deputy Director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and Li Jiaqiong, member and Deputy Director of the Medical Insurance Bureau. Chen Hanzhu, Deputy Director of the Zhaoqing Municipal Propaganda Department, hosted the conference.
In recent years, Zhaoqing has closely followed the new strategic positioning of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, actively participating in the construction of the area. The city has greatly expanded both online and offline government service channels, achieving cross-border handling of employment, entrepreneurship, and elderly care services. Currently, 818 services can be managed cross-provincially within the Pearl River Delta, and 1650 services can be managed across cities within the province.
Zhaoqing has also deeply expanded its economic and trade cooperation with Hong Kong and Macau. By 2023, the number of investment companies from Hong Kong reached 85, with a total of 4979 Hong Kong-funded companies, attracting an investment of 1.29 billion yuan from Hong Kong, accounting for over 80% of the city’s foreign capital attraction. Additionally, Zhaoqing has established and operated 9 Hong Kong and Macau youth innovation and entrepreneurship bases, with a total of 402 enterprises and projects, including 102 from Hong Kong and Macau.
To accelerate the implementation of the “Bay Area Tong” project and promote regulatory alignment with Hong Kong and Macau, Zhaoqing has grounded these efforts in local realities, implementing key tasks such as facilitating the movement of people and goods as outlined in the “Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,” along with national and provincial policies. Zhaoqing has summarized national, provincial, and municipal policies to formulate these measures, which were officially issued on March 18th this year.
The measures mainly cover the following five aspects: Facilitating living in Zhaoqing: The measures focus on applying for residence permits, purchasing homes, leisure and retirement, and transportation. Zhaoqing will provide a more convenient living environment and services for Hong Kong and Macau residents.
Supporting employment and entrepreneurship in Zhaoqing: The city will actively support Hong Kong and Macau compatriots in finding employment and starting businesses in Zhaoqing, providing them with more opportunities and conveniences. This includes support in areas such as professional and technical qualification exams and professional title evaluations for Hong Kong and Macau residents.
Supporting investment and business establishment in Zhaoqing: Zhaoqing encourages Hong Kong and Macau residents to invest and start businesses, providing a better development environment. This involves personal income tax financial subsidies and incentives, as well as facilitating Hong Kong and Macau residents in starting businesses in Zhaoqing.
Promoting medical facilitation in Zhaoqing: The city will further promote the medical services facilitation for Hong Kong and Macau residents, making it easier for them to access medical resources.
Promoting social and livelihood exchanges in Zhaoqing: Zhaoqing will actively facilitate exchanges between Hong Kong and Macau residents and local residents, including easing the clearance of import and export goods.
These measures consist of 19 facilitative policies and will officially take effect on May 1st, with a validity period of two years. This initiative aims to further strengthen the exchanges and interactions among residents of Zhaoqing, Hong Kong, and Macau, making life and development more convenient for Hong Kong and Macau compatriots in Zhaoqing.

China will reopen the border with its special administrative region of Hong Kong on Sunday for the first time in three years, as it accelerates the unwinding of stringent COVID rules that have battered its economic growth. The opening will bring the resumption of quarantine-free travel between the financial hub and the mainland although it would be done in a “gradual and orderly” way, China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in a notice on Thursday. China is set to reopen to the world on Sunday, welcoming international travellers and returning residents without the need to quarantine for the first time since 2020, even as infections surge after it scrapped its COVID curbs. Hong Kong closely followed China’s tough zero-COVID policy until the middle of 2022 when it began to ease some of restrictions. The former British colony dropped all of its COVID rules in December but masks remain mandatory except while exercising. Hong Kong and China have trailed most of the world in easing stringent COVID precautions and the border reopening was postponed several times over the past year because of COVID outbreaks in one or the other. People in Hong Kong have only been able to reach the mainland via the city’s airport or just two check-points, one at Shenzhen Bay and the other via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge. Most other border points including the West Kowloon high speed rail terminus have been closed since early 2020. Before the coronavirus emerged in China in late 2019, there were more than 236 million passenger trips over their border a year, government data showed. China will no longer require people to present COVID tests upon arrival in the mainland from Hong Kong, while China will issue special tourism and business visas for mainland residents to visit Hong Kong from Jan. 8, the office said. China will also increase flights between the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau, it said. Hong Kong residents have flocked to clinics to get vaccinated against COVID ahead of the border reopening, which some fear could bring a surge in both infections and demand for mRNA vaccines that are not widely available in the mainland.

The new system reduced the proportion of legislators Hong Kongers could directly elect from 53% to 22%. A restructured election committee, which appoints the chief executive from a Beijing-approved shortlist, now has the power to fill 40 of the 90 seats with its own members. The committee is comprised of 1,500 people chosen from among pre-vetted candidates by fewer than 5,000 eligible voters in September.
...
Yet the government is brooking no claims that the changes have dampened Hong Kong’s democracy. Last week the director of Beijing’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, Xia Baolong, declared Hong Kongers were finally about to experience a real democracy, having wasted so much time “blindly seeking” the Western style.
“It brought social divisions, vicious fights, causing crises such as a disorderly society, an imbalanced economy and ineffective governance,” he said. “The Chinese people have never been so confident in the socialist democratic system with Chinese characteristics as they are today.”

INFATUATION

Pairing : Seokjin x OC (from reader's POV)
Genre : Yandere.
Warning : Nothing for this part.
Wordcount : 1.8K
.
Full Masterlist and elaborate warning please read here.
.
List of Chapters here.
Part 3 - DEVISED
.
She changed her number.
He had expected her to call him, considering how generous he was. There was no way she would whoring to other men. He knew the lesson he taught her the other night would leave a deep impression inside her pretty head. Unless, of course, if he predicted wrong, that meant she would need a harsher lesson.
Seokjin didn't try to call her until eight days later after that night. He wanted to know if she would be the one to initiate the contact with him. When one week had passed, he asked his private investigator to get her number from Kevin. He certainly couldn't let his club manager to know if he had the slightest interest with one of the servers.
All his life, Seokjin never beg or chase a woman, he never had to.
Before his adolescence phase, he didn't really have any interest in relationship. His life was too busy between school, friends, and video games. Then puberty hit him hard, and he grew into a man with appearance and strong appeal to the opposite sex, and whenever he wanted a woman, he would get her with little effort.
His family was established, had been loaded for a long time that could be traced back to the first generation of Kim family. With proprietary of several banks that had been run for more than two decades, Seokjin learned well from his father about management, investment, and risk taking.
He just had to play his cards right, highly educated himself on many necessary aspects, and made a timely good decisions, everything would fall into place.
Until he met her.
Sometimes anomaly happened.
Even a good speculator like him made mistakes, and it was unfortunate that she had to involve in that kind of situation with him.
He wasn't one that could admit defeat. He liked to play game, and he loved to plan his strategy, savoring the feeling everytime it came into fruition.
How stupid she could be, to switch phone number while still working in his night club. If she thought by changing her number she could avoid him altogether, she would have another thing coming for her. It would be just a matter of time before she come to him, he would make sure of that.
It was almost six p.m. when he sat on his chair in his office, facing his private investigator in front of him.
Yun Fa was a chinese, Seokjin met the guy three years ago in Macau, and spared him from being killed by the loan shark. The timid guy was drowned too deep in debt as a result of his addiction in gambling. Who could resist the temptation of easy money when living in a city of gaming?
When Seokjin knew his past experience in China as a police officer, he took the guy with him to South Korea, and arranged him to be his assistant initially. His skill in investigation came to light when he often acquainted Seokjin about many affairs that were hidden or happened behind his back within his companies.
Hence his career transition as his private investigator.
"So..tell me about her illness." He leaned back on his chair with elbows on the armrest, gazing out to the view outside the window wall from the twenty eighth level of his office building.
"It's Crohn disease, it's a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the digestive tract..-"
"Yun Fa, I did my research, I know what it is. Go straight to her problem."
The guy cleared his throat and looking at his stack of files nervously. His boss was intimidating to say the least, always emanated a "do it right or you can go fuck yourself" kind of aura, and it showed in him with such grace that made people thought he was probably born with it.
"Right...em..Joo Lisa, the younger sister apparently has severe case of the disease. She's been going back and forth of hospital for the past year. I talked to the doctor, and he said she might need surgery to remove the offending part of her intestines. But as long as they can control the symptoms with medication, it will work temporarily."
"Why don't they just proceed with the surgery?"
"Em...the older sister is the sole breadwinner of the family. I guess they just survive for the time being. She basically living from paycheck to paycheck, and I managed to get her credit record, it's not good. She had several outstanding loan."
Seokjin mused upon the information. He had to admit he was impressed with her mental strength. She didn't call him despite her obvious impending financial doom. Her situation explained her current condition, her body looked too fragile and unhealthy. Maybe she couldn't even afford regular decent meal.
"How about her landlord?" Seokjin glanced at the view of the sky outside, pretty orange hue lined over the horizon. It was almost sunset, and his head started to hurt.
Today his mind was full of thinking about her, distracting him from his work, and he despised himself because of that. He was no a weakling, especially when it came to women.
"The building owned by an elder couple living in Yongsan - Gu. They have a son who lived in San Fransisco, working in Silicon Valley. My guess is, they just hold the building as a side income, they don't really need the money, most of their earning come from time deposit. I personally think, once they passed away, their son will probably just sell out the building."
Seokjin nodded, absorbing the information.
"Their house in Daegu? Did you check on it?" He took some papers from the stack in front of Yun Fa.
"They were three months behind on the rent of their banjiha. The medical cost really drained their finances, not that there are really any source to speak of, they rely on Joo Aerin's salary every month."
He read the papers at a glance before shoved it back to Yun Fa.
"Last hospital stay had been settled, am I right? Has the girl been discharged yet?"
"Yes, she has been discharged two days ago. But the doctor scheduled another check up in two weeks." Yun Fa closed the file folder with a soft snap, he didn't have further information about the girl.
"I want you to ask the doctor to meet me here in two days. Pick him up or arrange a car, I don't care. Ask Soo Yeon to help you." He took his phone from the table.
"What should I tell him about the purpose of this meeting?" Yun Fa looked at his boss and mentally admired his elegant visage. Were he was a gay, he would have drooled over the man.
"Career advancement. Oh, and get the contact number of the landlord. " He waved his hand to dismiss the guy while put the phone on his ear.
Yun Fa had a lot of question inside his head about this latest mission, of why his boss set his eyes on an ordinary girl. He saw Seokjin in several occasions with model-like women, this girl wasn't his usual type. Although, Yun Fa had to admit, she was pretty if only she had some curves around her scrawny figure. But he definitely couldn't afford to be nosy.
He loved his job, and pissing off his boss wasn't something favorable for his career. Besides, he indebted to the man for his life. So he silently made his way out of the room.
Seokjin leaned back on his chair closing his eyes, while waiting for the person on the other line to pick up the call.
"Jung Hoseok."
"Hoseok..are you free to talk?"
"I'm on my way to Yoongi's. Something happened Hyung?"
"Do you have any opening in your hospital in Busan or Daejeon? Anywhere but Seoul or Daegu. Senior level, surgeon specialist or equal preferably."
"What specialties?"
"Digestive or Colon and Rectal surgery."
"I think I can work on it. Let me get back to you tomorrow."
Seokjin heard him talking to someone next to him.
"Are you with Namjoon?"
"No, I'm with Jimin. Yoongi summoned us. There is a problem with Yuri, I think."
"I see. Please call me when you have the news."
He hung up the call, and stared at dark sky outside.
Yoongi had changed recently. He was too occupied with that woman, and Seokjin didn't like it. A few years back when Yoongi had a dispute with Hoseok over a woman, he almost got killed by her. If not for Seokjin's consideration over Hoseok's feeling to her, he would already had sent a hitman to finish her. That woman was bad news.
Among the six other boys in their group, Yoongi and Jimin were the ones with similar character with him. Cunning, calculative and ruthless whenever necessary.
Jimin was the most impressive one. One would never know how cold-blooded he could be when it came to finish his opponent, literally or figuratively, he wouldn't even blink. A perfect character for the world they live in. Only his youth being a hindrance, but it just needed a little bit polishing and few years of growing up, he would be the perfect leader for the group.
Yoongi was another example of stealth demon in disguise. He was like a chameleon, less talking, but could adjust and perceive to almost any situation. A master in reading people, an expert in numbers, and skillfull with his gun.
Hoseok was also good, he had skills in between slashing the enemy and exceptional managerial skill. If not for his biggest weakness towards his feeling over his woman was the ultimate obstacle to make him a powerful leader.
Namjoon, Jungkook and Taehyung were the good boys of the group. They needed the kind of characters to put a stop whenever their inhumanity went out of hand.
They had each other's back, one wasn't capable enough, the other would take over. That was how they had been all these years.
Everybody had their own weakness, even Seokjin himself. In his case, his other six brothers were his ultimate vulnerability. They were unrelated by blood, but Seokjin felt the invisible string between them. More than one occasions he had to go all the way of saving their asses, but not once he felt compelled about it.
It was strange.
Just as odd as his feeling towards her. He couldn't quite call it love. It was a foreign feeling for him.
Because as much as he wanted to save her, he also wanted to punish her, to hurt her.
You don't hurt the person you love, surely.
Maybe it was obsession.
It that was what it was, it would be easier to handle. Seokjin had never let his feeling dictate his brain. He was the oldest of the group, he had to keep his composure and rationality, and not letting a woman to become a distraction.
So instead of forcing her, he would lure her. He just couldn't wait the day she would come back to him willingly.

Covert Operations - Chapter 144
SYNOPSIS: Madeline returns to Section One and gives Fergus some tasks to do to set things in motion before she meets to debrief with Operations about her meeting with Mr. Lambert. Murtagh helps out his friend and Fergus finds out new intel about the Rising Dragons from his informant.
Chapter 143 and all other chapters can be found at … https://sablelab.tumblr.com/covertoperations
THANK YOU all so much for following this story week in and week out. You are all the BEST!
CHAPTER 144
Madeline returned to Section One after her enlightening talk with Mr. Lambert with her agenda achieved and with a better picture in her mind as to the treachery that Colum had instigated in regards to the Rising Dragons' mission. Feeling a wry smile bow her mouth, she entered the underground parking lot after parking her BMW, and headed towards the elevator that would descend into the hub of Section One. She stopped when she reached the doors and activated the secret code. The doors soon opened and she entered with resolve and a self-satisfied look on her face. This had definitely been a win-win for her, Operations and especially Section One. She knew that Dougal would be pleased with the outcome and hence they may not see as much of Colum as they had in the past. His impromptu visits may have just been curtailed for a while by the powers that be.
After her discussions with Mr. Lambert it was much clearer now that Oversight’s leader indeed had a file on Sun Yee Lok as well as Jamie and Claire. Although Mr Lambert’s explanation was valid, she was still a little perplexed as to why Colum would want one on their two best operatives. That was a conundrum to think about. His informant, Jurgen, had passed on Intel concerning the triad, some which they knew of and some they did not. It was now up to them at Section to beat him at his own game and keep him out of their affairs. Making Mr. Lambert aware surreptitiously that Colum may have had ulterior motives in regards to the Rising Dragons' mission had indeed been cathartic. Madeline was sure that their superior would rein Oversight’s leader in and they would not have any more interference from him. In so doing, he would be on notice that Mr. Lambert was aware of his meddling when there was no reason for it about the mission. Colum would no longer be able to give him false Intel again about the state of play to where Section was at in regards to capturing the Dragon Head of the triad. The other great news was that Frank Wolverton-Randall would be returned to Section One where they could keep a close eye on him and any transfer of data secretly back to Colum.
Madeline's Mona Lisa smile increased at the thought of these outcomes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The metal doors closed behind her and the elevator whooshed quietly into the depths of the earth. In no time it came to a swift stop, the doors opened and Madeline exited through them to her familiar surroundings of Section One and made her way through Van Access. With every step she took, her resolute footfalls echoed on the floor of the stark corridor as she headed further into Section One. Anyone observing Section's Head Strategist pass by, would have seen her determined gait indicating that she was a woman on a mission. When Madeline was in this frame of mind operatives knew to stay clear.
She walked along the corridors towards the Common Area on her way to the perch to see Operations. Meanwhile several operatives were nervously talking to each other behind her back as she passed by their stations, but that was a common reaction whenever she was out of her office. She intimidated people and operatives were scared of her … but as far as Madeline was concerned that was a good thing, as you could not be too familiar with your workforce. She and Dougal ran a tight ship and their operatives knew exactly where they stood. Insubordination was not tolerated and failure to perform resulted in cancellation. Although operatives were busily engaged in their duties, Madeline felt the air of trepidation that surrounded them. The atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with a knife while eyes seemed to follow her every step but then quickly glance away to carry on with whatever they were supposed to be doing.
Section’s doyen knew people were anxious by her presence but she liked it that way as it kept the operatives on their toes. Too much familiarity was frowned upon thus they were wary around her. Nonetheless she liked that situation and it had always worked well for her in the end. The only thing she was ever concerned about was Section and that their operatives did their jobs thoroughly to the highest standard.
As she made her way to the Perch to debrief with Operations, her thoughts turned to the conversation with Mr. Lambert.
It had been very enlightening and she knew exactly what needed to be done to rectify Colum's meddling in their affairs. She realized that Centre's leader had provided her with valuable Intel that had to be confirmed as soon as possible. Fergus was the go-to man for this assignment. She needed to address him to give him the heads up on what Mr. Lambert had told her and her instructions to deal with it. The Macau information was a valuable piece of news to her, so Section needed to act expediently before Colum set anything tangible in motion. Time was of the essence. Fergus needed to move swiftly to neutralize any Intel that their nemesis may already have on the Rising Dragons and plant a red herring that would send him off on a wild goose chase. It was also imperative to act and act quickly before Colum Mackenzie got wind of her discussion with Mr. Lambert but she wouldn't be at all surprised if Centre’s leader hadn’t already contacted him and hauled him over the coals.
This brought another smile to her face. Her mission had been accomplished. Dougal would be pleased.
Fergus has a visit from Section’s Head Strategist ...
Before she spoke with Operations, Madeline needed to speak with Section’s communications expert first and made a beeline to Fergus Claudel with instructions for him to carry out. When she approached his station, he looked up a little surprised to see her standing at his desk, however, judging by the look she gave him, he knew that Section's second-in-command had something important to reveal.
True to form, Madeline didn't mince her words. "Have you found any new Intel about the Rising Dragons or Sun Yee Lok?"
"I've put out feelers but nothing yet." "What about John Grey our informant in Hong Kong? Has he been in touch?"
"I'm still trying to locate him to see if he has any fresh Intel on the triad."
"What's the problem?"
"He's not responding to communiqués."
John Grey was rather partial to the high life and from time to time communicating with him was difficult. This was a cause for frustration and it echoed in her voice as she spoke to the techie. "Work on it. This is top priority. You'll need to move faster. Find out if he knows anything about the Rising Dragons planning a move into the casino business in Macau."
"I'll get on it right away," Fergus reassured her emphatically.
His superior gave him a piercing look. "You need to pull out all stops on this one Fergus."
It was evident that Madeline was quite adamant in her orders and would bode no hesitation in them being carried out. "I understand."
"And find out any an Intel you can on Colum's informant Phil Jurgen. Find out where he is located and how close he is getting to the Rising Dragons."
"Understood Madeline. Anything else?"
However, her next order was a surprise. "I want you to contact Jamie and Claire and inform them that they are to return to Section One."
Fergus' mind went into a spiralling downfall at the thought of that being a possibility as previous times that he'd tried to reach them he'd come up blank. If Jamie and Claire didn't want to be contacted then it was nigh on impossible to do so unless they initiated the contact. Knowing the answer already, he still stated the obvious.
"But their trackers are down … they are not contactable."
Her concise answer was not unexpected. "I'm sure you'll find a way Mr. Claudel."
The computer expert knew this was a direct order and Madeline would not accept a negative response to her request. "I'll do my best."
"Your best isn't good enough. I expect more."
Section One was under the pump because of Colum's obvious interference about the Rising Dragons’ mission and Frank Wolverton-Randall's involvement with passing on information, however, of what and how much was still to be known. He quite understood why Madeline was so adamant that things happen quickly. Excuses would not be tolerated. "Okay."
"Oh, and there is one other thing that you need to be aware of."
"Yes?"
"Frank will be returning to Section where we can keep a closer eye on him."
"I see." Fergus was not a happy camper at hearing this news despite the need to keep tabs on him. "Why? Can't we do that given what we already know about him and Colum?"
"You need to keep your enemies close Mr. Claudel. If he is here, we have more control over what we allow him to do and see."
"How will this come about?"
"Mr Lambert will request that Frank be transferred back to One to help you with collating Intel on the Rising Dragons."
"I see."
"Thus, we'll need you to plant some bogus Intel about the triad that Colum will think is legitimate to keep him off our tails and that Frank will need to follow up that will send him off on a wild goose chase. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Madeline."
"Good. Do it."
All Fergus needed to do now was to follow up her orders and verify the Intel about Macau so that a new profile could be put in place. All the pieces of the puzzle were finally coming together while the last piece she needed was for Jamie and Claire to return to Section. But how in heavens name was he to do that was the conundrum he faced, knowing that if he could not contact them his head would be on the chopping block. There was only one person he could think of that could help ... his buddy Murtagh.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Walking away from Fergus' station, Madeline was extremely happy with the plans she had put in place to curtail Colum's efforts to undermine Section One. Hostilities had existed between Section and Oversight for some time, but with Colum's interference in this mission, this had only escalated their contempt for him. She couldn't wait to debrief with Operations but once he heard what Colum had been reporting to Mr. Lambert there was no telling what he may be inclined to want to do. He'd already suggested assassination as his favoured modus operandi but she'd diffused that situation for the time being, but it was highly probable that this would be back on the table once she reported their situation.
They had all tolerated each other over the years, but the suspicions between her and Dougal on one hand and Colum on the other had caused a large chasm that widened with each impromptu visit from him. This hostility had only been exacerbated during this mission to where his interference was intolerable given his subterfuge. There was certainly no love lost between the brothers whatsoever and now, if anything it had intensified. This time Colum had gone too far. Most times any encounter between the leaders resulted in a stalemate, but this time it seemed that Section One may just be able to checkmate Colum at his own game. Given the fact that Mr. Lambert was now aware of his agenda, Madeline was sure that he would not try and interfere anytime soon, but nonetheless if Colum acted on their bogus Intel, it would indeed prove that he had gone behind their backs and in contravention of direct orders from Mr. Lambert. Failure to obey his supreme leader may just be the answer to their problems. If Colum was stupid enough to go behind Mr. Lambert's back then he deserved whatever punishment their leader would dish out. It could possibly be a win-win for Section One without any involvement from them whatsoever. This thought would please Operations no end.
Armed with new Intel about the Rising Dragons … compliments of Mr. Lambert … they could now get back to what was important and at the same time make Colum look like a fool. Her mind had been focused on nothing else since her meeting and she couldn't wait to set things into motion back at Section. She had given Fergus his orders and was confident that he would be able to expand this new Intel and put Section One back behind the eight ball. The Rising Dragons' short reprieve, like Jamie and Claire's, was over. It was time that Section brought the Rising Dragons’ mission to a closure before Colum could usurp their authority and undermine them even more.
Suddenly another thought popped into Madeline's mind that gave her cause to smile enigmatically … If ever Operations wanted to take over Oversight, this might just be his opportunity to show his true mettle. Colum would be under suspicion from Mr. Lambert and if anything jeopardized the mission because of Oversight's intervention… then Operations would come up smelling roses. That thought was indeed worth thinking about.
With her inscrutable Mona Lisa smile on her face, Madeline continued on towards the perch where she knew Operations would be eagerly awaiting her return from Centre. She was most satisfied that she had set things in motion to expedite the Rising Dragons’ mission and get Section back on the right foot. All they needed was the Intel to pursue the triad and the operatives to carry out the mission. They already had one … all they needed was a window of opportunity to make a strike on the Rising Dragons and its members. She was counting on Fergus to come through with information that would facilitate a new profile as quickly as possible if they were to usurp Colum and his delusions of grandeur.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The added spring in Madeline's step was clearly noticeable as she continued on to the perch.
Fergus watched Section's Head Strategist leave his station after giving him his explicit orders. His eyes followed her progression away from his computer terminal, noting Madeline's determined gait and unwavering mindset … just like her words had been to him … succinct, resolute and needing answers as soon as possible. He had his instructions and all the things she'd asked him to do were all major concerns. There was no time to prioritize any of the commands for he'd been well and truly put on notice; furthermore, she wanted him to start straight away. However, Fergus decided that he would try and contact John Grey again as his first strategy followed by the request to release false information for Frank Wolverton-Randall to chase. Then he would try to find a way to contact Jamie and Claire.
He knew he would have some difficulty in contacting them and that he may need Murtagh's help for that. Given the mood that Madeline was in it was obvious that she wanted everything done yesterday. Her words had an urgency to them that gave Fergus little doubt that she and Operations had pressing plans in mind for Jamie and Claire. That would explain why the two recovering operatives had to return to Section early even though they still had a few days remaining on their downtime. Madeline had been adamant in her orders, so obviously whatever had been discussed between her and Mr. Lambert had warranted this move. Her meeting must have been productive and had caused her to rethink their strategy on the Rising Dragons' mission. No doubt there would be a briefing to outline a profile for continuance and he guessed that when Jamie and Claire returned this would be put in place.
The fact that Madeline wanted him to plant some false information to head Colum off on a different tangent meant that he must be getting too close or could jeopardize the mission by his interference. Either way, things would be go, go, go as soon and Jamie and Claire returned. He only hoped that they were well enough to resume the mission.
Putting his head to the grindstone Fergus began the tasks at hand.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Climbing the stairs up to Operations' office, Madeline was extremely satisfied with what she had set in motion. Her return to Section One after her meeting with Mr. Lambert, had given her the momentum to dive into the Rising Dragons' mission armed with new Intel that could finally lead to Sun Yee Lok and other triad members capture. Not only had the meeting given her new data but it had also allowed her to checkmate Colum and stop him in his tracks. She had managed to kill two birds with one stone and the fact that Frank Wolverton-Randall would be under their watchful eye was an added bonus. They could keep a close watch on him and leak Intel that would backfire on Colum. Yes, revenge was best served cold … it was a very satisfying feeling.
Madeline couldn’t wait to debrief with Operations.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Fergus returned to his station with a heavy heart. His superior had given him a directive he may not be able to carry out and failure to do so could result in severe consequences. Being put into abeyance was not his idea of the best outcome for something he may be unable to control. His failure to contact John Grey was a frustration he didn’t need on top of all the other things he had to do. Fergus Claudel seemed as if his back was up against the wall. Not only that, but he had to come up with some plausible Intel on the Rising Dragons that would persuade Frank Wolverton-Randall to follow up with his usual thirst to be the first to one upmanship him in any way shape or form with the powers that be. Planting a lure could be tricky but not insurmountable. He had already thought of a few believable scenarios that Frank might take the bait for. Knowing the type of character that Wolverton-Randall was, he knew that his nemesis was always too cocky when it came to the way he did things, and if Frank could make him look incompetent in front of Mr. Lambert, Fergus also knew he would have no qualms about doing so. Frank’s lust for the ultimate accolade to everyone else’s, but especially his detriment, was typical of his need to fuel his narcissistic personality. Just the thought of Wolverton-Randall losing face and to come tumbling down a peg or two gave him immense pleasure.
A wry smile bowed his mouth, but soon disappeared when his thoughts turned to the problem of contacting Jamie and Claire to return to Section. Although they had not gone dark whilst on downtime, getting in touch with them was another huge setback. How was he ever going to contact them when they were off the radar? If Jamie didn’t want to be contacted then there was little chance of anyone doing so before their downtime was up. There was only one thing he could do and that was to turn to his friend Murtagh in an effort of finding a way of getting in touch with the two operatives.
It was in this sombre mood that Murtagh Fitzgibbons found him when he appeared in systems.
A visitor arrives at Fergus’ station ...
“Hey buddy why the long face?”
Fergus gave him the look indicating that what he was about to say was something that Murtagh knew would require some underhand manoeuvring by him to solve whatever was troubling his friend.
“I have a problem A huge, big problem. Madeline wants me to contact Jamie and Claire, among other orders, and as you know they are somewhere where they are not reachable. They could be anywhere.”
“Yes, I see what you mean. That could be quite difficult.”
“What are we going to do?”
“We?” Murtagh replied raising his eyebrow at his friend’s assumption that they, not he, had the problem.
Fergus ignored his buddy’s mocking reply and pleaded his case. “Things will be dire if I cannot get in contact with them. What am I going to do?” he implored knowing only too well that whenever he had a predicament his friend always came to his rescue. “The only thing I can think of is a broad view sector breakdown and then I’ll need to comb every inch of this planet to find them.”
“I really don’t think that will be necessary,” Murtagh added with mirth in his voice.
“Really?”
“Yes. Leave it with me. I have my ways and means of getting around this problem.”
“How?” Fergus looked at the wise operative and saw the slight glint in his eyes.
“Well, there are a few tricks I haven’t told you about. Now first, you …”
“No, no, that’s okay... I don’t want to know. I get the message.”
Murtagh Fitzgibbons gave him a slight smile and raised his eyebrow in a mischievous way that his buddy had come to understand.
“Thanks, Murtagh. Owe you one.”
“I’ll add it to my list,” he retorted with a look that Fergus knew so well as he left his friend to tackle the other orders Madeline had given him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relieved that this major problem had been solved he tried once again to contact the elusive John Grey. Fergus tapped his fingers on his desk in quick succession in extreme frustration and annoyance that once again John was unavailable. Any Intel from the informant was getting critical to the mission status especially now that Madeline was on the war path. He needed something … anything … that may prove useful for Jamie and Claire’s return to Section. Time was of the essence and he knew that his head would be on the chopping block if John came up empty handed. Time seemed to stand still as Fergus waited for his connection, and the more he became worried, the more his fingers tapped on the desk. However, after a short time he finally heard the inimitable English accent of the elusive Mr Grey at last.
This time he’d been successful and not at a moment too soon.
Meanwhile Fergus makes contact with his informant ...
“John? Is that you?”
“Fergus my old pal … my old buddy! What’s up?”
The young techie had been on the edge of his tether waiting for his informant to make contact and now that he had, his patience was wearing thin. “Cut the crap Grey. Where the hell have you been?”
“Now … Is that any way to treat an old friend? You are joking right?”
“No … I’m not,” was his adamant reply.
“Ooh lardy da! Someone’s stroppy! Got your knickers in a knot hey Fergus?”
Biting his tongue at his reply, Fergus repeated more succinctly. “Where have you been John?”
“Keep your pants on old chum.” John Grey heard silence at the other end of their connection and knew that he had strung the young guy along long enough and finally replied, “Busy.”
Knowing how important any Intel could be, Fergus answered in a calmer voice. “Okay … busy doing what?”
“Par-taying … of course. You know me. I’m just a party animal. Love a good party. I just go bonkers for the ladies in Honkers! … Hmmmm … mmmm!” John Grey enthusiastically relayed where he had been and what he had been doing.
Aggravated with his stalling and knowing that he needed Intel ASAP Fergus let his frustration get the better of him. “John! Talk! Right now!”
Lost in his own little world the informant was quickly brought back to earth from his recollections as he could sense the techie’s disquiet. “Is this a bad time? I’ll call back when you’re in a better mood.”
Placated, Fergus realised that he could lose this long sort after connection on one of John Grey’s whims if he wasn’t careful. “No! … Listen John … I need a favour.”
He heard the apprehension in Fergus’ statement. Becoming decidedly more serious, he eventually answered in a more composed manner, “Anything for you Fergus … That’s what I’m here for. To make the bad times good. Right? What do you want to know?”
Pausing before taking a breath, he then continued, knowing that whatever John Grey had to tell him could be crucial to the mission. “Do you happen to know of a man named Phil Jurgen?”
The wheels of his memory were turning. “Jurgen you say?”
“Yes. Have you ever met this guy?”
His voice was upbeat. “Yeah sure. You know me, I know everybody. Jurgen and I go back to club days in London.”
“What can you tell me about him?”
Curiosity ate at him as to why Section One would want to know about Phil Jurgen but he had had his suspicions about him for a while in regards to questions he had thrown at him about the Rising Dragons triad. He felt it was strange that two informants were after the same Intel.
“In what regard?”
“Do you know if he has been snooping around and asking questions about the Rising Dragons for instance?”
“Come to think of it … he has been prying that’s for sure.”
Fergus called the man out. “He’s not passing Intel on to Section John.”
“I gathered that. I’ve had to fob him off a couple of times in my inimitable way.”
“Good.”
“We might move in the same circles but he doesn’t know what I know about the triad … that’s for sure.”
“How can you be certain?”
“Because … I value my life … That’s why.”
Fergus smiled at his answer especially knowing what Section One would do to John Grey if he lied and was found out. “And?”
“I’ve had to throw him a few red herrings to send him off on a tangent. He had been prying about the triad but had gone cold on any new leads about the Rising Dragons’ leader and has now moved on to greener pastures.”
“How do you know?”
“He flew to Abu Dhabi yesterday with Sheikh Abdul al-A’zam on his private jet. I drove him to the airport myself, but I’m sure Section will verify this.”
He didn’t answer, knowing that he would indeed check if this was true. Things were decidedly looking up, but he still needed John Grey’s information about the triad. “You’ve got the connections John; I need to know if you have any new Intel about the Rising Dragons and their members. Where they are … and what they are doing.”
“Do you?” was his canny reply.
Fergus could hear the smile in Grey’s voice as though he held all the cards and if the truth be known he did. He was convinced that John had very important Intel … Intel that Section One needed as soon as possible.
“Anyone in particular?”
It was obvious that the informant was stalling as if he had Claudel squirming on a hook. “Yeah … you know who John and quickly.”
“And what is in it …for me?”
“Jamie and Claire won't break every bone in your body when they find you,” was Fergus’ short and snappy reply.
Once again Grey gave his flippant retort. “Hmm? … Claire hey? I never could resist a woman like her in distress. My one weakness, really.”
“Okay … tell me everything you have and … fast.”
“Oh, it’s big Fergus. Very big. It’s like this …”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He was all ears as he listened intently as John relayed his information knowing the importance of this new Intel to the mission end game. Whatever info they learned would be a major factor in how Section approached the next stage of capturing Sun Yee Lok. “Go on.”
“New players, lots of disgruntled members within triad factions, could get out of control. These people are very serious. Good lot to stay clear of and I plan to stay clear of them.”
Fergus knew that this was new Intel that Section could use. “Who?”
“Samuel Li. He’s Black Panthers. Not a very friendly chum. Middle of the totem pole but very ambitious. He’s gone up against Sun Yee Lok. He wants to be Dragon Head. Meeting happening as we speak, but low and behold a surprised guest arrived unannounced.”
“Where do we find them?”
“Aberdeen.”
Aberdeen was diverse. The meeting could be taking place anywhere in the surrounds of the province. He needed more clarification. “More information!”
“Oh right. Jumbo Floating restaurant. I’ll send pictures.”
As John Grey gave him the location Fergus brought up the map of the Aberdeen area to see what teams were close by. If the triad leader was in the vicinity he needed to be tracked.
“And Sun Yee Lok’s daughter?”
The mention of Karen Yee brought a smile to John’s lips. This girl was a stunner. Powerful, sassy, rich … but dangerous. “She throws the best parties … just went to one. Great looking birds … big hoot…”
Fergus cut him off before he had finished. “John!”
There was silence at the other end of the line as John Grey reminisced about the last couple of days spent at one of the best parties he had attended. “What?”
“Where John?”
“Hang on to your horses … Can’t a man have his memories for a moment?”
Frustrated with his informant’s tangent thoughts he asked, “Where John? Where was the party?”
“At a casino in Macau … The Golden Dragon.” As the IT specialist digested all the Intel he had supplied, John Grey continued raving on. “Great night … plenty of booze … lovely ladies … get my drift.”
However, Fergus interrupted him again while he was speaking, “Anything else?”
“Oh, yeah … Nearly forgot. There are rumours that Alvin Tang, is siphoning off money from the casino for his own benefit.”
“Who is he?”
“Sun Yee Lok’s deputy. He’s been in Macau for a year or two and has been running the casino for the triad. Apparently, Karen is learning the ropes from him. She may find out more than she bargained for though, if you get my drift?”
“Is that all?”
“Yes,” he finally replied.
Knowing that this Intel would be very pleasing to Madeline and Operations, Fergus added, “Someone will be in touch if we need anything else.”
“Yeah baby! Claire Beauchamp, I hope,” was his candid reply. “That woman has legs to die for … I could see them wrapped …”
Having heard enough Fergus cut off his rambling words once more. “Bye John.”
“Oh … Oh right then ... I’m off to get a cure for this raging headache of mine.” And with that he was gone.
Now all Fergus Claudel had to do was to inform Madeline and Operations about what he had discovered about the Rising Dragons and hoped that in the meantime his buddy Murtagh had been able to contact Jamie and Claire.

[ad_1] By Farah Master and Twinnie Siu HONG KONG – China said on Friday that cross border travel between the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau would fully resume from Feb. 6, dropping existing quotas and scrapping a mandatory coronavirus (COVID) test that was required before traveling. Group tours between China and its two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau would resume, while the number of customs checkpoints open will return to pre-pandemic levels, China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in a statement on its website. Even after China reopened its borders to the world on Jan. 8, a quota system and COVID testing requirement remained for travelers between the mainland and Hong Kong. The three border checkpoints that have not yet reopened will do so from Feb. 6, Hong Kong’s leader John Lee said at a press conference on Friday. Hong Kong will also scrap a COVID vaccination requirement to enter Hong Kong for all arrivals, including non-Hong Kong residents, Lee added. Searches on Chinese travel website Qunar for roundtrip air tickets to and from Hong Kong and the mainland increased seven-fold on Friday after China’s announcement, data from state media China Transportation News showed. China’s announcement came a day after Hong Kong launched a promotion campaign including 500,000 free flights to lure back visitors, businesses and investors to the financial hub after more than three years of tough COVID curbs. Hong Kong was largely sealed off behind closed borders for much of the past three years in a bid to ward off COVID, with mandatory quarantine of up to three weeks for people arriving as well as intensive testing and screening. The former British colony closely followed China’s zero-COVID policy until the middle of 2022 when it began to gradually unwind its rules. Hong Kong dropped most of its remaining COVID rules in December, but mask-wearing remains mandatory unless exercising, and students must take daily rapid antigen tests. – Reuters [ad_2] Source link

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor Give You Up (林鄭月娥 give you up) Translated
Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor is the Chinese name of Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive. She is often addressed by her surnames (both married and maiden) colloquially - Lam Cheng, which will be what I will be referring her as when the Chinese equivalent is used in the parody.
English lyrics are given in the description of the original video, but I would prefer to put a personal spin on the translation and explain a few things the original translation didn't mention.
CONTENT WARNING: Cantonese profanity, sexual slang and… spoiler alert, this is a Rickroll parody. So I would prefer to call this a Lamroll. Lamb roll? Sounds tasty to me!

這八十數天 太漫長
為何二百萬人 聲音你都不聽
對市民濫捕濫打 武力治民
何時問責下台 走啦屌~你
These eighty-something days***** have felt like such a long time
Why do you still disregard two million people's voices?******
[You send cops to] abuse their power and hit civilians, and use violence to rule over your people
When [will you] be held accountable [for your actions] and step down, get the fuck outta here
1:17-1:25
Pre-chorus #2
用 送中惡法氹張曉~明

***** The video was first livestreamed on 28 September 2019, the fifth anniversary to the start of the Umbrella Movement. As of the time of posting, we have been 375 days into the war if we count 12 June 2019 (the first tear gas firing) as the start date, and 378 days in if we count 9 June 2019 (first super mass rally) as the start, or even more if we push the limits.
****** The two-million-plus-one march of 16 June 2019, explained in a previous post.
******* Former director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office. He was demoted in February 2020, months after the release of the MV.
******** 七 (seven) is a euphemism for 柒 (which in itself is a euphemism) for a profane word which roughly translates to “dick”. I chose a different translation because it sounds better imho.

Beijing fired its opening salvo on April 17, when its liaison office in Hong Kong effectively dismantled over two decades of legal precedence by declaring that it has full authority to interfere in Hong Kong’s affairs, leaving legal scholars and experts on the city’s mini constitution appalled. The next day, 15 veteran leaders of the city’s democracy movement were arrested over their roles in last year’s protests. A few days later, the central government’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office issued a string of statements, voicing support for the liaison office while condemning opposition figures and politicians. In the span of five days, the rules of engagement between Beijing and Hong Kong—ostensibly a city with a high degree of autonomy over its own affairs—were completely rewritten.
Meanwhile, as Hong Kong appears to have contained local transmission of Covid-19 cases, protesters are again itching to vent their long list of grievances. Across the city, small crowds gathered at shopping malls to sing and chant slogans—though police have been quick to break them up with pepper-spray and batons, charging protesters with breaking social distancing rules even while bar-goers and pro-government demonstrators were largely left to their own devices. To many, the double standards were stark: the police were using public health rules to clamp down on anti-government protesters.
