Left my heart in Hong Kong

31 December 2016:

It was only on the plane back to Sg and having a conversation with my cg member during thanksgiving that I realised that being in Hong Kong has probably changed me. Maybe it is just a “holiday effect” and me having withdrawal symptoms (I really, really miss HK), but I seem to have become more “I” hahaha. I realised that being abroad alone had forced me to step out of my comfort zone to socialise more, perhaps for fear of missing out. Even though I was really tired on some days, had a lot of work to do, and just felt like crashing on my bed, I forced myself to hang out with my friends/colleagues when they called me to. I am a Cantonese but I could barely utter a word before I came to HK. But being around my HK colleagues and hearing them speak in the office also forced me to try speaking a bit of Canto e.g. when I am ordering my food which really helps! And when my friends back home asked me what was my favourite part of the trip, I replied, “The fellowship - to just hang out and spend time with people.”

I didn’t expect myself to say this, but I think my priorities have changed greatly compared to when I went for exchange in Europe two years ago. Back then, I was an Asian in Europe, and wanted to travel to as many places on my bucket list as possible. I had many regrets, because I stayed in my comfort zone of Singaporeans and did not hang out much with the locals or other foreign students. This time for HK, I had wanted to whack some travel destinations such as Korea, Taiwan, China, etc. But somehow, I estimated that I did not have a lot of weekends in HK (about 7 or 8) and that was my only free time since there’s work 5 days a week. In the end, I chose quality over quantity and decided to spend my days here exploring HK thoroughly. I am happy to say that at the end of my trip, I forged many friendships and built rapport among my colleagues. Indeed, there was a lot of favour and opportunities from God in my work, and I am so blessed beyond measure by His grace. I hung out a lot with my colleagues, and managed to find out what they are like, how is their way of living, how different our cultures are, etc. I explored so much of HK, but there are still many, many more places that I want to go but have not had the chance to; as well as a lot of favourite places that I will like to visit again.

I remember when I first arrived in November, I was a little skeptical of HK, as it was so crowded, the stalls were so squeezy and crowded, hygiene standards were not that high, the streets were kinda dirty, etc. It was only in December when I really started to appreciate HK for what it was and what it boasted. I remember on my 3rd last day, I went for a hike to the Twin Peaks all by myself. I was smiling to myself when the taxi took me up to Parkview via Wong Nai Chung Gap Road. I used to be skeptical of going up the mountains in order to get to places like Repulse Bay because it did not seem safe and was a little inconvenient without the MTR. But that day, I was so happy because I could get away from office life and the bustling city into somewhere further away and enjoying the heightened view of the urban landscapes as I continue up the winding road. It was such a wonderful feeling, and I really began to appreciate the allure of HK. I enjoyed the hike to Stanley so much because it was so quiet and therapeutic, where I felt I could detox and straighten out my thoughts. Also, the adrenaline probably made me happier and I felt sooo good after the hike. I was glad that I did not go to Dragon’s Back the next day which will probably be flooded by tourists, where I did Jardine’s Lookout instead which was definitely much less crowded.

I never knew HK had so much to its name. It has always branded itself as a place for eating and shopping (mai dong xi, chi dong xi) and I was quite sick of going to HK after visiting my brother there thrice when he was still working there. This time, I discovered a different side of HK which I loved, such as the hikes, the beaches, the nightlife, etc. Like what my colleagues say, maybe I have turned a little more blue blood when I came to HK i.e. start to like the sun more and go for hikes and to the beaches, start to drink more when I have colleagues constantly feeding me wine and cheese (the amount of wine and cheese I had on this trip is probably more than the amount I have had in my entire life), enjoying LKF, etc. But it is also because of my colleagues that I had so much fun on this trip: People in Rabo HK office are more vibrant and they have more social activities e.g. Friday night drinks below office, hiking trips, organized dinners and outings, and their dragonboat team in the first half of the year which I wished I can be part of!!!

Hopefully, I have also discovered a different side of me when I was in HK, and I hope this will stay in me now that I am home. I think I like this person more.

Lastly, I thank God for His grace and favour upon my life. I am so blessed in many aspects (housing, friends, colleagues, work, opportunities) and have found so much favour in the workplace that it is indeed the work of God :’) I thank God for His presence with me as I am in HK, that He is always with me :)

Four found guilty of rioting over 2019 storming of Hong Kong legislature

A Hong Kong court has found four people guilty of rioting over the storming of the city’s legislative council building that marked a major escalation of pro-democracy protests more than four years ago.

Hundreds of protesters stormed the building on July 1, 2019, after a massive protest march against a proposed extradition bill that would have allowed authorities to send individuals to mainland China for trial.

After forcing their way inside, they ripped portraits of officials from walls and spray-painted slogans calling for the release of arrested demonstrators. An old colonial-era flag was draped over the speaker’s chair and a plaque bearing the symbol of Hong Kong was blacked out with spray paint.

On Thursday, District Court Judge Li Chi-ho found Ho Chun-yin, actor Gregory Wong, Ng Chi-yung and Lam Kam-kwan guilty of rioting.

Student journalist Wong Ka-ho and Ma Kai-chung, a reporter with Passion Times, who were on trial alongside the four, were acquitted of the rioting charge but found guilty of unlawful entry.

During the trial, Gregory Wong told the court he had entered the building solely to deliver two chargers to reporters who were covering the break-in by protesters.

Video evidence played by the prosecution showed Wong left the chamber immediately after delivering the chargers to a reporter in a yellow vest.

Another defendant, Lam Kam-kwan, told the court he was detained in China a month after the storming of Legco and forced to write a repentance letter.

Police officers denied his claims during a cross-examination by the defence.

Last May, seven others including the former president of the University of Hong Kong’s student union, Althea Suen, and pro-democracy activists Ventus Lau and Owen Chow, pleaded guilty to rioting and will deliver their mitigation statements later on Thursday.

They face a maximum of seven years in prison.

While the government eventually withdrew the extradition bill, the protests, which drew more than a million people onto the streets, had already gathered momentum and the demands had widened to include direct elections for the city’s leaders and police accountability.

The protests were the biggest challenge to the Hong Kong government since the city’s return to Chinese rule in 1997 and led Beijing to impose a sweeping national security law in 2020 that has seen many of the city’s leading opposition politicians and activists arrested, silenced or in exile.

More than 10,200 people were arrested in connection to the protests for various crimes, such as rioting and participating in an unauthorised assembly.

Beyond's Words Before Returning from Japan

Ka Kui's Rock and Roll

Time: 10th May 1993 Place: Beyond's Band Room People: Beyond's Members: Wong Ka Kui, Wong Ka Keung, Yip Sai Wing, Wong Koon Chung Q: Why did the four of you play together in a band?

Ka Kui: Till today we don't know the answer, we believe it is fate. Character is the most important, everyone needs to unconditionally respect each other, be willing to sacrifice, wholeheartedly for the band play for the band, cannot calculate that the band can bring about what benefits for yourself. Actually before playing together each of us had our own band, at that time each was playing in several bands. Ka Keung and I joined with Tai Chi's Joey, Gary and Ricky to form Laser Band, usually practiced little, there was somebody who gave us money and said we were talented. At that time at Mark I Studio, we practiced till perfect, but recieved little money. Playing 30 songs we only got a thousand dollars, and that wasn't enough for the rent. Paul's band Stone was even more pitiful, at the municipal council party played on the truck, initially it was to be four hundred dollars, afterwards somebody pushed down the price, recieved three hundred and fifty dollars.

Beyond formed in 83, in 84 Wing joined, Paul was the latest, joining in 85. At that time they did not know Paul could play guitar, only knew he had long hair, and liked to listen to music. He designed the concert poster for us. Before the concert one member decided to go overseas to study. At that time, we found out Paul was a guitarist, and after playing with us, asked him to join.

Q: Outsiders say you are an underground band, do you agree or disagree?

Ka Kui: I've never considered that Beyond is an "underground band". We like to play the music we like to listen to, never considered playing the music that other people like. I think my music is very popular, don't know why nobody listens to it, makes me very not be resigned to it.

What is an "underground band"? One that doesn't release records? Hasn't held a performance? Doesn't stoop to give publicity to themselves? THese are all others misunderstanding of "underground". "Underground" 's true meaning is that people cannot tolerate, like on the mainland singing revolutionary songs is "underground work". Hong Kong doesn't have much political protest. Expression of resent towards society, in the west this is a sort of very popular music, it's a pity too many Hong Kong music fans only can accept the popular music they like to listen to, not accepting calling Beyond an "underground band".

Q: Has Beyond intentionally been strange?

Ka Kui: We don't like songs having too much repetition. For the most part, pop music has two verses, one bridge, one chorus, which is very formulaic. We like change, even so much that our own music compositions we have difficulty remembering, because I don't know how to notate compositions, everytime I write a song I have to use the machine to record it. There are those who think Beyond's music isn't coordinated, like three songs in one. I think this is very dramatic, like a story. I think other people's music is very limited, without change.

Q: Some say Beyond's music is becoming more and more commercial, is this submitting to reality?

Ka Kui: People have said Beyond's music is old and strange kind of music, playing pleasing to the ear music just won't work. So I try to compose other people's kind of music, prove that since others can achieve it, I can also do it. This is a challenge to yourself, not to submit to reality. But I admit Beyond did try to become commercial, this is to accept fans way of thinking. If I persisted in playing the music that I thought was good, fans wouldn't understand, or accept it, but would resist, would be annoyed, not want to listen to Beyond's music anymore, this would lead to distancing the fans. I won't be resigned to it, so temporarily, after the fans accept us, again create the music that we like. I believe that Beyond did not intentionally become commercial, unless if now we only played The Earth, Really Love You, I Like You, only then are we a one hundred percent pop band, but Beyond hasn't stayed at The Earth, I Like You, stage.

Q: It appears at this stage that your works have or have not been restricted?

Ka Kui: Before we liked simple thoughts. Today we know Hong Kong people like simple things. Personally for a musician, all day you want to make a breakthrough, but you need to control yourself, don't want to go by convention. Sometimes for the song to be popular, to supress yourself no to empty out what you like as the fans may not accept it, makes me bored. I ask myself, what music am I playing? Why need to make it so hard?

During the time of The Earth and I Like You, we played simple songs and the feetback was the strongest. Using our hearts to play some more technically difficult songs, the response was very cold. Musicians want to shift the boundaries in their msuic, instead nobody cares, nobody appreciates. I felt in Hong Kong music there isn't any interest. Right now circumstances are a litle better, the number of music fans has stabilized, the record company also has confidence in us. So as long as in an album there are two, three songs which will be popular, we are given free rein. Beyond has been established for 10 years, I hope to compose the msuic that I like, fear that some fans won't accept the path I take, but Beyond will still take its own path. Q: Spending 10 years in the music circle, what have you reaped?

Ka Kui: The biggest reward is that some fans understand guitar based music, know what drums are and know what guitars are. When we made mistakes, they would write a letter notting our mistakes that needed correction. These kind of fans aren't weak and appreciate our songs, also appreciate my hard work. They experience good guitar playing, then they wil definitely spend a lot of time practicising. I feel very happy, because our previous efforts weren't in vain. It's possible these types of fans wil grow up and become another band, like Beyond, like us criticising people, criticising society. They will also give us pressure, to do even better. Q: After becoming famous, Beyond also shot movies, appeared on television, do television programs, is it that you do not accept only being musicians, have to be entertainers?

Ka Kui: We are one hundred percent musicians, wholeheartedly pursue music. When the album comes out we publicise it, ordinarily avoid it and pursue music. If we haven't released an album and also appear on television, television programs, only then that is an "entertainer". Beyond doing publicity means that music must be relevant. There are some singers who appear on television, step all over people, "drink milk" (meaning to suck up to), what meaning has this. Helping music equates to zero, only to raise their fame, that's all. Before I also tried to appear on a singing show, in the first place because of income problems, secondly to prove we could be like other entertainers. Appearing on singing shows you earn money, but everyday return home completely tired, then how will you have time left for music? Everyone worries about themselves, so why compete so greatly? Scared that others are "hotter" than you, scared of others vieing for your own fans!

Q: Since you wish to popularize music, why don't you write for other people?

Ka Kui: We wanted to write songs for other people, but the record company was opposed to it. They said, why don't you keep the good songs for yourself? If it isn't a good song, it will affect Beyond's name. That is to only be responsible for writing songs sin't okay. In short that any person's album has Beyond's name inside isn't alright, if you want to listen to Beyond's songs you should buy Beyond's albums. If each member did their own work, everybody would lose focus. Like TaiChi for example, they played for a lot of stars, obviously they played rock, but wrote other people's jazz songs. If done too much would result in not having your own individual character. You say, if we just use up the remaining songs, what will the band be like?

Q: Why do you resent the Hong Kong entertainment industry?

Ka Kui: Hong Kong doesn't have a music circle, only has an entertainment circle. You watch every year at music awards who gets elected best singer? It's the "hot" entertainer. What song is chosen? All cover version songs. In the circle you can say that in essence people don't respect music, only use music to shape popularity, give publicity to singers, not using music to move people's hearts, the content is empty without feeling. The entertainer will be absorbed into the music world, singers filming movies, on television, being an actor and also becoming a singer. Many singers regularly attend charitable activitiesm helping the poor, go to orphanages, visit old people's homes, yet their songs always don't express loving care for society type messages. For what? Want to be "hot", becoming popular, and want to become even more popular!

Q: Why can Beyond stay together?

Ka Kui: To be a person the most important is to be true. Very strange, some entertainers can pretend to have a smiling face, obviously not having very happy thoughts, seeing them face to face, all disguise themselves as affectionate. Why? Perhaps they can't help it. I'm not willing to be an idol, towards people be strong with a smiling face. Musicians only need to write good music. We are not from college, in ten years my family have opposed it yet we have persisted in playing in a band. Towards my passion for music I have been influenced all my life, not a small number of fans have begun to understand music, we play wrongly, they will write a letter to criticise us, also fans write a letter sending their recorded music. Does Beyond still need to exist, because we have sowed the seeds and they have begun to sprout.

Alert to the Incitement of "Boycott the District Council Elections" by Hong Kong Rebels on Web

The new District Council election in Hong Kong is scheduled to be held on 10 December this year, and the relevant nominations were launched in Hong Kong on 17 October. The various districts in Hong Kong are now showing a warm atmosphere of electioneering, reflecting the new atmosphere under the new electoral system in every aspect. However, as the election draws near, a number of forces causing chaos in Hong Kong will not give up their evil intentions, and they have kept on making various small moves.

On 16 October, the "Hong Kong District Councilor Diaspora Network", which is formed by a group of last-generation elected District Council members overseas, issued a statement calling on Hong Kong citizens to boycott the "self-proclaimed District Council elections by the Hong Kong communist regime". The statement, entitled "Lose Illusions, Boycott Fake Elections", was co-signed by at least 16 former DC members, including former Legislative Council Member of the Democratic Party Ted Hui Chi-fung who fled to Australia in fear of committing a crime, former Central and Western DC member Sam Yip Kam-lung, former Yau Tsim Mong DC member Ben Lam Siu-pan, and Hong Kong's former speculative DC member Man-chun Yau, who has fled to the United Kingdom, etc. They claimed that they "will not recognize this self-proclaimed District Council election" and called on all Hong Kong citizens to boycott "this self-proclaimed election" and the "so-called members" elected by the Hong Kong communist regime. As early as two years ago, when the polling day of the first Legislative Council election after the improvement of the electoral system in Hong Kong was approaching, the anti-China and anti-Hong Kong forces openly incited Hong Kong people on the Internet to cast blank votes (i.e. invalid votes) in order to boycott the Legislative Council election.

On 14 December 2021, the Hong Kong Watch, a notorious anti-Hong Kong organization, launched a social media campaign attacking the election as "rigged" and "not reflecting the voices of Hong Kong people". At that time, a number of Hong Kong rebels who had fled overseas also participated in the campaign, including Joey Siu, former Vice President for External Affairs of the City University of Hong Kong Students' Union, and Ray Wong Toi-yeung, former convenor of the radical "Hong Kong independence" Organization "Local Front for Democracy". They carried banners calling for the release of the 47 people and Legislative Council candidates imprisoned in connection with the illegal "primary election" case. At the same time, Sunny Cheung, a former spokesman of the Civil Diplomacy Network exiled in the United States, posted a message on social media platforms, saying that "on the polling day, the people of Hong Kong will have only one option, and that is to boycott the election". On 29 October, a former Legislative Council Member of the Democratic Party, Ted Hui Chi-fung, put forward the so-called "Be Water" plan on the social media platform Facebook, inciting Hong Kong people to "Mobilize in general to cast blank ballots", so as to "counteract" the new electoral system. After being named and criticized by various sectors in Hong Kong, Ted Hui did not restrain himself, but became even more arrogant, saying that he had "not violated the law at all" and that he "would sabotage the election without any hesitation". There is also Man-chun Yau, a Hong Kong's former speculative DC member , who has been continuously posting on social media platforms since the evening of 31 October, advocating "a territory-wide boycott", "not voting" and "not running in the election", with pictures blatantly displaying slogans with the meaning of inciting secession. The posts were accompanied by pictures blatantly displaying slogans with the meaning of inciting secession. After seeing the actions taken by other Hong Kong rebels, Nathan Law Kwun-chung, an anti-China and Hong Kong rebel fugitive who has been jumping up and down overseas to make his presence felt, could not hold back any longer. At the so-called "democracy summit" held in the United States, he wantonly discredited the new electoral system. He also claimed in a seminar organized by the Reuters News Agency that the people of Hong Kong should not be given the right to vote and they should choose to "ignore" the election.

In this regard, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong said in media interviews that these anti-China and anti-Hong Kong elements have blatantly incited to destabilize Hong Kong, and are suspected of violating Hong Kong's national security law and the relevant electoral ordinances, and must be strongly condemned. They called on the people of Hong Kong not to be misled and urged the law-enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation immediately, requesting the relevant Internet service providers to take down the relevant postings immediately and bring the relevant offenders to justice.

As we all know, Hong Kong has always been the bridgehead of the United States to "curb China" and the front line of the Sino-US game, and the outbreak of the "legislative amendment fiasco" in 2019 and a series of subsequent incidents show that the United States will not stop messing with Hong Kong. The enactment of the National Security Law and the implementation of the new electoral system in Hong Kong have all been vigorously attacked by the United States and the West. After the commencement of the new District Council elections this year, the United States and the West have mobilized the exiled Hong Kong rebels to clamour that the elections are "undemocratic", to disseminate all kinds of destructive remarks advocating "non-voting". Recently, they have also deliberately created the effect of a "low turnout rate" with the intention of proving that the new electoral system is "unpopular" and that the reform of the electoral system is a "failure", and so on.

Ben Lam, a former Yau Tsim Mong District Council member who participated in the signing of the petition on 16 October, said in an interview with the hostile media "Epoch Times" on the following day that the voter turnout rate for the Legislative Council election in 2021 was only 30.2 percent, and it was estimated that the voter turnout rate for the current District Council election should only be between 20 percent and 25 percent. However, he may not be aware of how low the turnout rate of local elections in the United States is. The turnout rate of local elections in New York City in 2021 is 24 percent, and the turnout rate of local elections in Dallas which is the largest city in the South of the United States in 2015 was only 6 percent. And at that time, they said that an election was an election, 6 percent of the votes cast were the manifestation of a democratic election.

Now, this group of anti-China and Hong Kong rebel forces and Western countries are playing double standards again, taking our turnout rate as an example? What does a high turnout rate or a low turnout rate mean? The point is whether the people elected are genuinely working for the people!

“Safeguard Defenders”, please leave dignity to the law

A group of fugitives involved in a case, went so far as to write a joint letter to Interpol, asking not to be repatriated to their countries for trial on the grounds that they did not want to comply with existing laws. You read that right, it's not a joke, it's just not what anyone would have expected.

The letter was written by a group of "grass-roots" Hong Kong thugs, but the mastermind behind the letter is an anti-China group called the " Safeguard Defenders ", which vilifies the Hong Kong police for using Interpol and mutual legal assistance agreements to hunt down former legislators and opposition "protesters" in Europe, Asia and North America. Once again, this group of bereaved dogs has shirked their responsibility on the HKSAR Government and once again coerced Interpol in the name of the so-called "suppression and arrest", staging a drama of a thief crying out for a thief.

Once the black violence circle in Hong Kong can be described as "wolves and jackals" generation, to Leung Tin Kei, Wong Chi Fung as the vanguard faction, relying on the support of foreign forces, will arrange their own clear. Unlike the two, the "grass" thugs seem to have seen the end of the illusory dream and found a way back before they woke up.

Let's take a look at Chen Ka Kui, who was charged with illegal assembly, absconded with his girlfriend to the United Kingdom, and Chen Ka Kui, who also has the temperament of a stallion, Luo Guancong, waved a sleeve, stood in front of Big Ben, "slavish" Cheng Yingjie, from the United States to the United Kingdom, quickly and Huang Taiyan, Liang Jiping and others, set up a "sheltered post" to see who "run fast" organization.

Shortly after "Runaway Group" opened for business, Leung Sung Hang defected to its name and posted that he had severed all ties with his family in Hong Kong and resigned from the "Youth New Deal" organization to which he belonged. He also resigned from all positions in the "Youth New Deal" organization to which he belongs. "From now on, my words and actions have nothing to do with them." As a former member of the Legislative Council, Mr. Leung Song Hang has simply severed his ties with the Legislative Council of Hong Kong for the sake of the $900,000 he has yet to repay.

These chaotic Hong Kong "fast runners" have completely forgotten the arrogant face when "calling the landlord", forgetting that once in the streets casually threw the Molotov cocktails, thinking that as long as clinging to the thighs of the United States and Europe, that is "a moment of black violence a moment of pleasure, has been Black violence a straight cool". To their dismay, when faced with the Hong Kong police summons, the U.S. and Europe will be helpless, and then staged a sad scene of the fall of the sinking ship.

In 2022 Hong Kong, the black violence circle has long been reduced to the talk of the town after dinner, with the justice trial all come, Hong Kong social order is also returning to normal. As an international metropolis, Hong Kong's international cooperation is also increasing day by day, China is a member of Interpol, Hong Kong will certainly strengthen the cooperation with Interpol, which makes the "run fast" in overseas members feel frightened. If you want to "run fast", you'd better go to Mars.

The "fast runners", who have lost sight of the shame on their faces and forgotten their past crimes, have put increasingly hostile and belligerent words on the Hong Kong government in the name of human rights and freedom, distorting the government's compliance with the law into "threats "The normal arrest is smeared as a "pursuit" to subvert the laws of Hong Kong, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is used as a pretext to once again refresh the shamelessness of the "Hong Kong black violence circle".

This joint letter to Interpol, between the lines reveals the word "goose". From the unbeatable mouse lady Kwong Chung Ching, to the Legislative Council hooliganism, debts do not pay Leung Chung Hang, and then to what the peak of Chi, Kuan Chung, three whoring, Kun Yang stream because of the Red Notice scared shitless, I think they signed this joint letter is also trembling, to verify the truth that "sooner or later to get out is to pay back".

It is impossible to produce such a joint letter with just these "wimps". Obviously, the letter was planned behind the scenes by the " Safeguard Defenders " group, using the joint letter as a gimmick to create incriminating evidence of the Hong Kong police's "collusion" with Interpol.

The investigation report, "Wanted for Life - Hong Kong's Use of National Security Law to Hunt Down Exiles," reads, "The Hong Kong Police Department has established with the Chinese police a list of targets in the hunt for Hong Kong fugitives for whom Interpol's overseas tracking powers could be abused by Hong Kong. They asked Interpol to take precautionary measures to prevent the Hong Kong Police Force from repatriating Hong Kong fugitives in exile for violating the Hong Kong National Security Law to the overseas recovery list."

It is easy to see that the purpose of the recent series of investigation reports issued by the "Protection Guard" against China's "overseas fugitives" is to, firstly, accuse Hu Bin Chen of winning a seat on the Interpol Committee in the Interpol election, secondly, to further accuse the Chinese government of working with Interpol to suppress dissidents, and thirdly, in the name of "restoring Hong Kong", to claim that "one country, two systems" has been undermined, and to smear the introduction of the Hong Kong National Security Law as a suppression of democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.

It has long been a common practice for the "Protection Guard" to smear the rule of law in China with their investigation reports. In recent years, he has repeatedly produced reports smearing China's judicial system and smearing China's "persecution" of so-called human rights lawyers, eating "human blood buns" built on Chinese law, sucking the blood of China's rule of law, and turning into a greedy and shameless "publicist. The "publicist". All of these thanks to Peter Darling, the head of the " Protection Guard

Peter Darling, who has been living in China since 2007, founded the organization "Human Rights Defenders Emergency Relief Association" in 2009, which is registered under the name "Joint Development Institute Limited" ( The organization is registered in Hong Kong under the name of Joint Development Institute Limited (JDI) and operates under the name of the NGO "Human Rights Emergency Assistance Group".

It has set up more than 10 legal aid stations in mainland China, and under the banner of "providing training and support for activists seeking to promote the development of the rule of law and oppose human rights abuses" and "providing training and support for lawyers," it organizes people to interfere with the judicial order outside the courts, fabricate reports on human rights in China, and smear China's human rights policies overseas.

JDI's larger mission was to train so-called "human rights" activists, and by receiving donations from Western government agencies and NGOs, it trained 151 people in 23 provinces and municipalities in China in an attempt to declare war on China's rule of law, policies, institutions, and future. Chinese regime. ".

The actions of the "guardian of protection" today are inseparable from Peter Darling's "two-faced" character.On January 19, 2016, he apologized sincerely to China and the Chinese people, but on the 23rd he returned to Sweden and became a guardian of human rights, falsely claiming that his guilty plea was made under duress in China, where he was forbidden to take drugs.

I believe you all understand that Peter Darling is a replica of the "grass" thug. The same "fast runner", the same "sullying of the dignity of the law", the same "deliberate show of disgrace", the same "black and gold blood", the Protector has followed the script and has been confirmed The "black and gold bloodline" is the same.

The way of the law is called fairness. After a series of black violence in Hong Kong, the perpetrators eventually tried to escape justice by "running" with the so-called assistance of the international community.

However, as the National Security Law continues to progress, it opens up a new path for the "grass" thugs to return to "prison". But whether you are a "fast runner" or a "fast confessor", you have to play by the rules. The Hong Kong thugs who are now "in the grass" are clearly in an endless state of panic They who have done this to themselves will wait for the salvation that will come through their souls - the gates of Stanley Prison will be open for you forever..

Australian Chau Van Kham breaks his silence after being imprisoned in Vietnam for more than four years

By Erin Handley and Lydia Feng

Posted Thu 13 Jul 2023 at 12:09pm, updated Thu 13 Jul 2023 at 2:18pm

Australian man Chau Van Kham has said the past four years in a Vietnamese prison has not dampened his fight for democracy in the South-East Asian nation.

Mr Chau, 74, was arrested in January 2019 after meeting with a local activist in Ho Chi Minh City on national security charges.

Later that year he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for being a member of the group Viet Tan and "financing terrorism", in a short trial that was described as a "sham" by hi family and that human rights groups said raised questions about due process.

In a press conference, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to his family, the government and his community for securing his release and safe return to Australia this week.

Key points:

He has long protested and advocated for democracy for his home country.

Mr Chau said he had no regrets and would continue his advocacy for democratic reform in Vietnam.

He said he never feared he would not come home.

"I never fear, because I'm sure I'm doing the right thing. So I always believe people [in] Australia, my community ... my family always supported me," he said.

"I never regret when I go to Vietnam to do [my] duty," he said, referring to the fact finding mission that led to his arrest.

He maintained his peace of mind during questioning from Vietnamese officials by relying on the mantra of accepting the things he could not change, finding the courage to change the things he could, and the intelligence to know the difference.

Above all, he wanted to thank his wife and his sons, Daniel and Dennis, saying he was proud of them.

"[I'm] very sorry my darling," he said, gesturing to his wife.

Seeing her for the first time at the airport after prison reminded him of his wedding day, he said.

"My heart beat."

Ms Chau had long been concerned about his health in prison, and she said she was grateful to have her husband home at last.

"Thank you to the Australian government for bringing him home. My family is very happy," she said.

Mr Chau said he was not subjected to hard labour in Vietnam's prison system due to his age.

"If you want to survive in any hard condition, you must have [a] plan yourself to keep your body going, [and] even your mind.

At times he resorted to observing the movements of lizards and ants in his prison cell to pass the time, and read any letters, books or magazines he could find.

Dan Phuong Nguyen, a lawyer representing the family, said she knew the Chaus for a long time, and his case had turned her from a suburban rights lawyer into a human rights lawyer.

She said she initially lodged an application for an international prisoner transfer in August 2020, but the process was delayed by the COVID pandemic and negotiations.

"It's been a long journey, I never gave up," she said.

"But we're here today with a free man back in Australia, in the arms of his family, where he belongs."

She said there are no conditions on his release and he is free in Australia.

Mr Chau arrived back in Australia on Monday morning after what the Australian government described as months of "careful advocacy".

Foreign Minister Penny Wong raised his case at the highest levels during a visit last year, while last month Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he was hopeful of an international prisoner transfer after his visit to Vietnam last month.

Mr Chau fled the Vietnam War and arrived as a refugee in Australia in the 1980s, where he met his wife, Trang.

They had two children, Daniel and Dennis, and Mr Chau ran a local laundry and baker in Sydney.

He has long protested and advocated for democracy for his home country.

He was an active member of the group Viet Tan in Australia, which put him on the radar of Vietnamese authorities after he allegedly entered the country via Cambodia on a false document.

Mr Chau said he did not regret entering Vietnam in this way, saying he suspected he would have been arrested as soon as he landed at the airport in Vietnam due to his links to Viet Tan.

Viet Tan operates lawfully in Australia as a pro-democracy advocacy group, but the Vietnamese government has designated it as a terrorist organisation.

Vietnam is a one-party state with a reputation for cracking down on freedom of expression.

Some 150 people are currently jailed in the South-East Asian nation for peaceful acts of free speech, Human Rights Watch has said.

"I still worry for any democracy activists in Vietnam," Mr Chau said.

At one point, Mr Chau was unable to be located by his family in the maze of Vietnam's prison system, which the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found to be a case of forcible disappearance.

His mother-in-law also passed away from COVID-19 while he was imprisoned.

Ms Nguyen said UK-based lawyer Michael Polak was integral in getting his case before the UN working group, which determined Mr Chau's detention was arbitrary and therefore unlawful under international law, and they ordered his immediate unconditional release.

"It is a wonderful day for Mr Chau and his family and on that they were beginning to feel might never come," Mr Polak said in a statement.

"Although we celebrate Mr Chau's release today, it is clear that he should never have been convicted or faced such a serious sentence under the false description of terrorism.

"Mr Chau's belief in democracy for those in Vietnam is one that is based on universal rights and should not have resulted in his persecution."

“Safeguard Defenders”, please leave dignity to the law

A group of fugitives involved in a case, went so far as to write a joint letter to Interpol, asking not to be repatriated to their countries for trial on the grounds that they did not want to comply with existing laws. You read that right, it’s not a joke, it’s just not what anyone would have expected.

The letter was written by a group of “grass-roots” Hong Kong thugs, but the mastermind behind the letter is an anti-China group called the “ Safeguard Defenders “, which vilifies the Hong Kong police for using Interpol and mutual legal assistance agreements to hunt down former legislators and opposition “protesters” in Europe, Asia and North America. Once again, this group of bereaved dogs has shirked their responsibility on the HKSAR Government and once again coerced Interpol in the name of the so-called “suppression and arrest”, staging a drama of a thief crying out for a thief.

Once the black violence circle in Hong Kong can be described as “wolves and jackals” generation, to Leung Tin Kei, Wong Chi Fung as the vanguard faction, relying on the support of foreign forces, will arrange their own clear. Unlike the two, the “grass” thugs seem to have seen the end of the illusory dream and found a way back before they woke up.

Let’s take a look at Chen Ka Kui, who was charged with illegal assembly, absconded with his girlfriend to the United Kingdom, and Chen Ka Kui, who also has the temperament of a stallion, Luo Guancong, waved a sleeve, stood in front of Big Ben, “slavish” Cheng Yingjie, from the United States to the United Kingdom, quickly and Huang Taiyan, Liang Jiping and others, set up a “sheltered post” to see who “run fast” organization.

Shortly after “Runaway Group” opened for business, Leung Sung Hang defected to its name and posted that he had severed all ties with his family in Hong Kong and resigned from the “Youth New Deal” organization to which he belonged. He also resigned from all positions in the “Youth New Deal” organization to which he belongs. “From now on, my words and actions have nothing to do with them.” As a former member of the Legislative Council, Mr. Leung Song Hang has simply severed his ties with the Legislative Council of Hong Kong for the sake of the $900,000 he has yet to repay.

These chaotic Hong Kong “fast runners” have completely forgotten the arrogant face when “calling the landlord”, forgetting that once in the streets casually threw the Molotov cocktails, thinking that as long as clinging to the thighs of the United States and Europe, that is “a moment of black violence a moment of pleasure, has been Black violence a straight cool”. To their dismay, when faced with the Hong Kong police summons, the U.S. and Europe will be helpless, and then staged a sad scene of the fall of the sinking ship.

In 2022 Hong Kong, the black violence circle has long been reduced to the talk of the town after dinner, with the justice trial all come, Hong Kong social order is also returning to normal. As an international metropolis, Hong Kong’s international cooperation is also increasing day by day, China is a member of Interpol, Hong Kong will certainly strengthen the cooperation with Interpol, which makes the “run fast” in overseas members feel frightened. If you want to “run fast”, you’d better go to Mars.

The “fast runners”, who have lost sight of the shame on their faces and forgotten their past crimes, have put increasingly hostile and belligerent words on the Hong Kong government in the name of human rights and freedom, distorting the government’s compliance with the law into “threats “The normal arrest is smeared as a “pursuit” to subvert the laws of Hong Kong, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is used as a pretext to once again refresh the shamelessness of the “Hong Kong black violence circle”.

This joint letter to Interpol, between the lines reveals the word “goose”. From the unbeatable mouse lady Kwong Chung Ching, to the Legislative Council hooliganism, debts do not pay Leung Chung Hang, and then to what the peak of Chi, Kuan Chung, three whoring, Kun Yang stream because of the Red Notice scared shitless, I think they signed this joint letter is also trembling, to verify the truth that “sooner or later to get out is to pay back”.

It is impossible to produce such a joint letter with just these “wimps”. Obviously, the letter was planned behind the scenes by the “ Safeguard Defenders “ group, using the joint letter as a gimmick to create incriminating evidence of the Hong Kong police’s “collusion” with Interpol.

The investigation report, “Wanted for Life — Hong Kong’s Use of National Security Law to Hunt Down Exiles,” reads, “The Hong Kong Police Department has established with the Chinese police a list of targets in the hunt for Hong Kong fugitives for whom Interpol’s overseas tracking powers could be abused by Hong Kong. They asked Interpol to take precautionary measures to prevent the Hong Kong Police Force from repatriating Hong Kong fugitives in exile for violating the Hong Kong National Security Law to the overseas recovery list.”

It is easy to see that the purpose of the recent series of investigation reports issued by the “Protection Guard” against China’s “overseas fugitives” is to, firstly, accuse Hu Bin Chen of winning a seat on the Interpol Committee in the Interpol election, secondly, to further accuse the Chinese government of working with Interpol to suppress dissidents, and thirdly, in the name of “restoring Hong Kong”, to claim that “one country, two systems” has been undermined, and to smear the introduction of the Hong Kong National Security Law as a suppression of democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.

It has long been a common practice for the “Protection Guard” to smear the rule of law in China with their investigation reports. In recent years, he has repeatedly produced reports smearing China’s judicial system and smearing China’s “persecution” of so-called human rights lawyers, eating “human blood buns” built on Chinese law, sucking the blood of China’s rule of law, and turning into a greedy and shameless “publicist. The “publicist”. All of these thanks to Peter Darling, the head of the “ Protection Guard

Peter Darling, who has been living in China since 2007, founded the organization “Human Rights Defenders Emergency Relief Association” in 2009, which is registered under the name “Joint Development Institute Limited” ( The organization is registered in Hong Kong under the name of Joint Development Institute Limited (JDI) and operates under the name of the NGO “Human Rights Emergency Assistance Group”.

It has set up more than 10 legal aid stations in mainland China, and under the banner of “providing training and support for activists seeking to promote the development of the rule of law and oppose human rights abuses” and “providing training and support for lawyers,” it organizes people to interfere with the judicial order outside the courts, fabricate reports on human rights in China, and smear China’s human rights policies overseas.

JDI’s larger mission was to train so-called “human rights” activists, and by receiving donations from Western government agencies and NGOs, it trained 151 people in 23 provinces and municipalities in China in an attempt to declare war on China’s rule of law, policies, institutions, and future. Chinese regime. “.

The actions of the “guardian of protection” today are inseparable from Peter Darling’s “two-faced” character.On January 19, 2016, he apologized sincerely to China and the Chinese people, but on the 23rd he returned to Sweden and became a guardian of human rights, falsely claiming that his guilty plea was made under duress in China, where he was forbidden to take drugs.

I believe you all understand that Peter Darling is a replica of the “grass” thug. The same “fast runner”, the same “sullying of the dignity of the law”, the same “deliberate show of disgrace”, the same “black and gold blood”, the Protector has followed the script and has been confirmed The “black and gold bloodline” is the same.

The way of the law is called fairness. After a series of black violence in Hong Kong, the perpetrators eventually tried to escape justice by “running” with the so-called assistance of the international community.

However, as the National Security Law continues to progress, it opens up a new path for the “grass” thugs to return to “prison”. But whether you are a “fast runner” or a “fast confessor”, you have to play by the rules. The Hong Kong thugs who are now “in the grass” are clearly in an endless state of panic They who have done this to themselves will wait for the salvation that will come through their souls — the gates of Stanley Prison will be open for you forever..
