#Poll: One out of four #Hongkonger wants to emigrate; #CarrieLam: Not interested
On March 25, 2022, the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) announced some alarming survey findings that a quarter of the city population plans to emigrate, citing political uncertainty as the key reason.
Reporters took this issue to the #ChiefExecutive, Carrie Lam and asked whether measures are in place to retain talents.
Lam brushed the question aside as she responded in contempt, "I am not interested in these surveys in general. So I am not going to comment."
Lam asked Hong Kong people to stay confident as she foresees the #COVID19 pandemic receding in 4 weeks.
Lam's colleague, a member of the Executive Council, Bernard Charnwut Chan, apparently has a different view.
Chan expressed concerns over Hong Kong's role as the financial center in Asia when multinational corporations are moving their Asia Pacific headquarters away from Hong Kong.
Chan told reporters on a radio talk show that chances for these headquarters to be relocated back to Hong Kong are slim.
Although Hong Kong has lifted flight bans against 9 countries, inbound restrictions remained in force while many countries have removed COVID-19 restrictions altogether.

#DeniseHO and the slogan #JMGGJ on her T-shirt
Translated by Guardians of Hong Kong, September 20, 2021
According to schedule, Hong Kong singer Denise HO (#HoCC) should be holding her concert at the Wanchai Art Centre at 8pm on 12 Sep 2021, but it did not happen.
Eight days before the show, Art Centre cancelled her venue booking in writing citing “it might endanger public safety”. Roughly at the same time, three pro-China newspapers coincidently criticised HoCC and that “she is closely watched by law enforcement agencies”.
Without the venue, HoCC decided to hold her concert online.

Hong Kong's Captain America 2.0: Not Ashamed, No Regret, No Cowardice in Pursuing Democracy and Justice
Translated by the Guardians of Hong Kong
MA Chun-man, aka Captain America 2.0, is convicted by the court on November 2021, guilty of “inciting others to secede” and sentenced to five years and nine months imprisonment.
CHAN Kwong-chi, the designated judge, pointed out that the defendant repeatedly incited others to secede, in the mean time disparaged the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL). Chan deems that this case is a “serious offence” as articulated in the law.
Ma wrote his own letter of intercession and emphasized that he does not feel ashamed and has no regrets…
