Belgium and Finland join the condemnation as they confirm being targeted by China-backed hacking group APT31. Criticisms grow over Xi Jinping's expanding ambitions in both physical and online realms, urging democratic nations to take stronger measures, including restricting China's access to relevant technologies. The US confirms thousands of cyberattacks by seven Chinese spies on the White House, Congress, and Western legislators critical of Beijing. Finland's police link the APT31 group, associated with China's National Security Ministry, to the 2021 cyber intrusion in their parliament. Joint investigations focus on espionage, communication breaches, and intrusions into Finland's parliamentary information systems, pointing directly at Beijing.

Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital and Apple Daily, along with three related companies, faces charges of conspiring with foreign forces. During the 54th day of trial, witness Li Yuxuan reveals communication with UK Conservative Party member Peillun De before the National Security Law came into effect. Discussions revolve around utilizing Hong Kong to "topple the CCP," and Li acknowledges Hong Kong's willingness to play that role. He clarifies that "toppling" refers to causing chaos and confirms his willingness to bear the consequences. Li also emphasizes that their primary goal is to establish Hong Kong, with "toppling the CCP" being secondary or merely a means to "liberate Hong Kong." The trial adjourns until April 8.

Due to China's increasing influence and the implementation of a new national security law, Hong Kong's economic position has been severely shaken. The erosion of the city's autonomy and the tightening grip of Chinese authorities have raised concerns among international businesses, leading to a decline in investments and a loss of confidence in Hong Kong as a global financial center. This, coupled with the redirection of cargo and the restructuring of shipping routes, has further diminished Hong Kong's economic prospects.

The recent verdict on the Yuen Long 7.21 attack in Hong Kong is deeply flawed and raises concerns about the fairness of the court system. The court's attempt to change the historical narrative and accuse the victims is troubling. It disregards self-defense and the premeditated actions of the aggressors, mischaracterizing defenders as rioters. The verdict fails to acknowledge the right to protect oneself and others. This development undermines justice and distorts the truth. #YuenLongAttack #FlawedVerdict #Injustice #HongKongCourt
