HONG KONG - Office of the Commissioner of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Tuesday expressed strong disapproval of and firm opposition against US Consul-General Hanscom Smith's article on human rights issues. The spokesperson of the commissioner's office criticized the article, titled "US Commitment to Human Rights in HK is Unwavering" and published on a Hong Kong newspaper, as a serious violation of international law and basic norms governing international relations by openly making unwarranted remarks about and meddling with Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs at large. The spokesperson pointed out that what the United States had better do is to hold a mirror up to itself and reflect upon its own human rights problems. The United States "has long turned a blind eye to the deteriorating human rights situation and the widening wealth gap at home, to the prevalent shooting, racial discrimination and xenophobia across … [Read more...] about Commissioner’s office of Chinese foreign ministry slams article by US consul-general in Hong Kong

NEW DELHI: Commercially affected by the ongoing anti-China protests in Hong Kong, IndiGo on Tuesday said it will suspend its flights on the Kolkata-Hong Kong route from November 6. The low-cost carrier had started the daily non-stop flights on this route from August 20. The protests in Hong Kong started in June on the issue of an extradition bill, which would have allowed some criminal suspects to be sent for trial in mainland China, and have snowballed into an anti-government movement. "IndiGo has suspended its Kolkata-Hong Kong services from November 6, 2019 due to poor commercial results affected by the ongoing Hong Kong situation," the airline spokesperson said. "We are in the process of evaluating alternate route options between India and Hong Kong and IndiGo will start operations as soon as possible. Affected passengers are being contacted and will be offered refunds or alternate travel arrangements," he added. … [Read more...] about Anti-China protests: IndiGo to suspend Kolkata-Hong Kong flights from Nov 6

The United States government just officially crowned itself as a shakedown artist. The passage and signing of Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and Placing Restrictions on Teargas Exports and Crowd-control Technology to Hong Kong Act have gone beyond mere interference in domestic affairs. Maybe U.S. politicians don't realize it, or maybe they just don't care anymore, but this bill has removed all façade that the United States have put up. It isn't designed to protect Hong Kong residents' "freedom" and "human rights" as Congress claims it to be. These two laws are legitimizing the U.S. government's attempt to disrupt the unity of China by deliberately instigating chaos in Hong Kong. Now, their support for violent protesters and riots don't have to be covert. It can be done in broad daylight, with the might of an entire government behind it. It is a calculated attempt to use Hong Kong as a hostage to pin down China's development. The crux of this legislation lies with the … [Read more...] about The U.S. bill on Hong Kong is a political farce

Hong Kong police said on Monday night that they had defused two "complete, fully functional" nail bombs discovered in the grounds of a school by a janitor. Containing a total of 10 kilograms of powerful explosives and nails, and designed to be set off using a mobile phone, the bombs were "ready to be used" and had only one function, "to kill and to maim people", senior bomb disposal officer Alick McWhirter told reporters. With the police still conducting an investigation, it is too early to point a finger at the anti-government forces as being responsible for the bombs. Yet, as the unrest that has plagued the city enters its seventh month, the bombs should sound the alarm that there are some in the city who have relinquished their conscience and who, for whatever purpose, are willing to use the unrest as an opportunity to create a bloody spectacle. After more than half a year's fruitless struggle, the signs suggest that there are some in the opposition camp who are intent on "stirring … [Read more...] about Nail bombs discovery casts dark shadow of terrorism over Hong Kong: China Daily editorial
