Chinese Ambassador to Hungary Becomes Judge in International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea
On 25 August, Duan Jielong, nominated by the Chinese Communist Party government, was named the new judge to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (#ITLOS) in Hamburg, Germany.
The Tribunal is an "independent judicial body" established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS) to adjudicate maritime disputes "arising out of the interpretation and application of the Convention".
Duan, currently the PRC's ambassador to Hungary, received 149 votes in the first round of election and was therefore elected. His term will start on October 1, 2020 with an appointment of 9 years.
Since its establishment in 1996, the Tribunal has had 4 judges from the PRC.
[Editor's note: On 12 July 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled that China had violated the UNCLOS in South China Sea]

In the era of surveillance, face-recognising cameras intrude ou rlives. Have you wondered, how close are we to mass surveillance?
This photo was taken at Tai Po Complex in Hong Kong. Hikvision cameras are placed in the entrances and exits to monitor the temperature of passersby.
The US government had blacklisted this company earlier because it worked with the CCP to monitor minorities in Xinjiang with its face recognising technology.

Chinese company with CCP's Military and Intelligence Network Surveys the World
A Chinese company, Zhenhua Data, with links to Beijing's military and intelligence networks has been amassing a vast database of detailed personal information on prominent and influential figures, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, members of the royal family, Australian Prime Minister Morrison and Indian Prime Minister Naomohan Modi, military officers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, journalists, accountants, academics, scientists, as well as criminals and politically sensitive people.
The database of 2.4 million people has been leaked from the Shenzhen-based company is believed to be used by China's intelligence service, the Ministry of State Security. Of the 250,000 records recovered, there are 52,000 on Americans, 35,000 Australians, 10,000 Indian, 9,700 British, 5,000 Canadians, 2,100 Indonesians, 1,400 Malaysia and 138 from Papua New Guinea.
While much of the information has been "scraped" from open-source material, some profiles have information which appears to have been sourced from confidential bank records, job applications and psychological profiles. The company is believed to have sourced some of its information from the so-called "dark web".
One intelligence analyst said the database goes much further that of "Cambridge Analytica”, suggesting a complex global operation using artificial intelligence to trawl publicly available data to create intricate profiles of individuals and organisations, potentially probing for compromise opportunities.
The database was leaked to a US academic based in Vietnam, Professor Chris Balding, who until 2018 had worked at the elite Peking University before leaving China citing fears for his physical safety.
"China is absolutely building out a massive surveillance state both domestically and internationally.” “I think it speaks to the broader threat of what China is doing and how they are surveilling, monitoring and seeking to influence… not just their own citizens, but citizens around the world." Professor Balding told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

China blocks Wikimedia Foundation’s accreditation to World Intellectual Property Organization
China blocked the Wikimedia Foundation’s application for observer status at the World Intellectual Property Organization (#WIPO) on September 23, 2020.
As a United Nations (#UN) organization, WIPO develops international treaties on copyright, IP, trademarks, patents and related issues.
China was an "official observer" of the WIPO and was the only country to raise objections to the accreditation of Wikimedia.
In their last-minute objections, China claimed Wikimedia’s application was 'incomplete' and suggested that the Foundation was carrying out 'political activities' via the volunteer-led Wikimedia Taiwan chapter.
Despite that the Wikimedia's application was supported by the UK and the US, due to China's block, the Foundation's application for observer status has been suspended and will only be reconsidered in 2021.

Museum in France Postpones Exhibition of Genghis Khan in Protest of Censorship by Chinese Authorities
In France, the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, which houses the Nantes History Museum, has announced that a collaborative exhibition with China about Genghis Khan and the Mongol Emperor has been postponed to 2024, and the Museum is going to stop collaborating with China.
The museum’s director, Bertrand Guillet, described the decision of postponing the exhibition as an ethical choice and accused the Chinese authorities of their continuous interference and censorship of the exhibition’s content.
The Chinese authorities asked for the removal of the terms such as “Genghis Khan”, “Emperor”, and “Mongolian language”. They also demanded the power over the context, maps, content, and contact information etc.
The Museum in France indicated that the context of the exhibition was completely censored by the Chinese and biased perspectives were added into the context for political needs. After discussions with several historians and professionals, the Museum decided to halt the project to defend the values of human, science, and ethics. Contents will be replaced by collections from Europe and America and the Museum hoped that the essence of the exhibition can be preserved.

Chinese Communist Party leader Urges the World to Implement Controversial #HealthCode
According to China state broadcaster, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping called on the world during the G20 summit for the implementation of a health code.
In Hong Kong alone, the Health Code proposal has sparked controversy for its potential infringement of privacy and freedom and issues with the collection and the storage of personal data by the authorities.
On November 19, 2020, Xi also said at the Apec CEO Dialogues that China must rely on a growth model driven by innovation while continuing to deepen so-called supply-side reforms.
Xi also said globalisation is "irreversible" and that China will not engage in "de-coupling".
Throughout 2020, China has come under criticism, particularly from the US, for the coronavirus outbreak.

No ‘Negative’ News: How China Censored the Coronavirus
In 2020, the whole world has been extensively affected by COVID-19, which was originally called "Wuhan Pneumonia" at the early stage of the outbreak because of its alleged origin. The pandemic has led to the lockdown of many countries, the suspension of economic activities and the separation of families.
In an investigative report published by The New York Times on Dec 19, 2020, it was revealed that the Chinese Communist Party government stage-managed what appeared online in the early days of the outbreak and downplayed the severity of the coronavirus.
The New York Times wrote,
“At a time when digital media is deepening social divides in Western democracies, China is manipulating online discourse to enforce the Communist Party’s consensus.
To stage-manage what appeared on the Chinese internet early this year, the authorities issued strict commands on the content and tone of news coverage, directed paid trolls to inundate social media with party-line blather and deployed security forces to muzzle unsanctioned voices."
For example, regarding the death of the whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang, who had been threatened and prosecuted by the Chinese authorities, on Feb 7, 2020, China "ordered news websites not to issue push notifications alerting readers to his death. They [Chinese authorities] told social platforms to gradually remove his name from trending topics pages. And they activated legions of fake online commenters to flood social sites with distracting chatter, stressing the need for discretion".
The New York Times also found that "Chinese officials tried to steer the narrative not only to prevent panic and debunk damaging falsehoods domestically. They also wanted to make the virus look less severe — and the authorities more capable — as the rest of the world was watching."
According to Xiao Qiang, a research scientist at the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley, and the founder of China Digital Times,
“China has a politically weaponized system of censorship; it is refined, organized, coordinated and supported by the state’s resources. It’s not just for deleting something. They also have a powerful apparatus to construct a narrative and aim it at any target with huge scale.”
“This is a huge thing,” he added. “No other country has that.”

British Foreign Secretary: China Breaches the Sino-British Joint Declaration Continuously
On March 13, 2021, British Foreign Secretary #DominicRaab issued another statement, shortly following the first one two days ago on March 11, 2021 in which he slammed Beijing’s decision to impose radical changes to Hong Kong’s electoral system a clear breach of the legally binding Sino-British Joint Declaration.
Raab wrote in the statement that “this is part of a pattern designed to harass and stifle all voices critical of China’s policies and is the third breach of the Joint Declaration in less than nine months.”
He further stated that, “the Chinese authorities’ continued action means I must now report that the UK considers Beijing to be in a state of ongoing non-compliance with the Joint Declaration - a demonstration of the growing gulf between Beijing’s promises and its actions.”
In closing, Raab reiterated UK’s support to Hong Kong, saying that “the UK will continue to stand up for the people of Hong Kong. China must act in accordance with its legal obligations and respect fundamental rights and freedoms in Hong Kong.”
Immediately following the National People's Conference's (#NPC) resolution to impose an electoral overhaul on Hong Kong, Dominic Raab made a statement on March 11, 2021 saying that the latest step by Beijing would “hollow out the space for democratic debate in Hong Kong, contrary to the promises made by China itself.”
Several MPs of UK parliament, however, disparaged the British Government for paying mere lip-service and questioned whether the Government would impose #sanction over concerning officials in Hong Kong based on the Magninisky Human Rights Act.

Furious Chinese Netizens over City Lockdown posts National Anthem "Rise Up" to Protest, and are Promptly Blocked on Weibo
With the widespread of #Omicron in Shanghai, the Chinese government is responding with a tougher stain on the lockdown of the city, leading to public discontent and resistance.
Many Chinese netizens used the first line of the national anthem, "Rise up! Those refuse to be slaves", as a hashtag and posted it on #Weibo to express their anger. This was blocked by Weibo later on, which is ridiculously tantamount to making the national anthem a forbidden word.
It was found later, after searching on Weibo, that the national anthem is still searchable, but the search results would be blanked if the keyword is a hashtag of the national anthem.
This is not the first time China has banned its national anthem. Back in the early days of the #COVID19 outbreak in #Wuhan, when 'whistle blower' Dr. Li Wenliang died, Douban.com banned the lyrics of the same song for "containing radical current affairs or ideology".
