Chinese Netizens vow to kick “trouble-making Chinese patriots back to Hong Kong"

Amidst mounting COVID19 cases in Hong Kong, a group of around 60 Hong Kong citizens, claiming themselves to be “Chinese Patriots”, fled the city and sought “shelter” in China.

They were arranged to stay in a hotel in Longmen County in Huizhou for isolation. Although the hotel charged a substantially higher fee of $564 per night, its service level was said to be unacceptable.

On December 27, 2020, the group filed a complaint to Li Wei-wei, Huizhou City Party Secretary and their complaint letter, reprimanding poor service level of the quarantine hotel, was made public on WeChat.

The letter highlighted, "The Security guards threatened us with a baton; bugs and chicken feather were found in the food served; and no timely medical care was given to an injured young kid."

In less than a day, the complaint letter was removed on WeChat for suspected violation of the Cyber Security Law of the People's Republic of China.

The incident stirred a wave of criticism among netizens in China. Many questioned its validity, while others commented with hostilty: “Hong Kong people are too fond of making complaints”, “Prestigious Hong Kong people, you are not welcome”, “shall we jointly sign and kick these 60 people back to Hong Kong?”

Chinese Authorities Arrest Former Reporter and Netizen for Weibo Comments

On February 19, 2021, China’s state broadcaster released footage of China-India border clash in June 2020, in which four Chinese #PLA soldiers were killed.

On the same day, former Chinese reporter Chou Ze-ming (仇子明) wrote on his #Weibo page ridiculing the Chinese troop commander who survived the clash. He also questioned the casualties of the clash could be more than four.

Chao’s Weibo account was reportedly put to freeze for one year. On February 20, 2021, Chao was even arrested and detained on suspicion of "provoking disturbances". Another citizen, surnamed Chan was also arrested for spreading comments denigrating Chinese soldiers.
