At Least 20 People Died in Myanmar’s Military Crackdown, Military: Deaths are the Fault of Violent Demonstrators
Myanmar military coup has occurred for more than two months. According to local media reports, the military shot again in Bago city in southern Myanmar, making at least 20 people died. Besides, some university students protested in Mandalay and set fire to Chinese and Russian flags protesting the countries’ perceived support of the coup regime. The military spokesperson indicated in an interview that many deaths were the fault of violent protesters, provoking and stopping civil servants to travel to work. The spokesperson also emphasised that the military only uses minimum force.
Started from Friday midnight, the military continued to shoot in Bago city, Southern Myanmar, for suppression. Many gunshots were heard, firelights were seen at the scene, and some citizens picked up grenade shells. Local media reported that at least 20 people died during the suppression, with an unknown injured number.
People continue the protest in Myanmar. Many university students who drove motorbikes and gathered also raised three fingers in the second large city Mandalay. By the time, some people burned Chinese and Russian flags protesting countries’ perceived support of the coup regime by blocking the UN Security Council resolutions against the junta. During the assembly in Yangon, protesters put on lots of red-colour-dying t-shirts and put wreaths in the river to mourn the dead protesters.

P&G Researched New Technology with Chinese Traders to Bypass Apple’s Privacy Policy, Tracking iPhone User Data
Wall Street Journal quoted from sources that large consumer goods group, P&G, participates in developing a new technology to bypass Apple’s new privacy policy to collect iPhone user data for targeting advertisement. That technology is testing in China.
Compare to television and street advertising in the past, advertisers and merchants have sent out some targeted advertisements to attract consumers by collecting and analysing usage habits and preferences of users for ten years to increase marketing effectiveness. As the public cares more about personal privacy in recent years, some technology companies also tighten the policy to protect user’s privacy.
However, similar policies cannot stop enterprises from providing such targeted advertisements. Wall Street Journal stated that US multinational consumer goods leading enterprise P&G, multinational accounting companies Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, and market research company Nielson are all participating in the new technology development to bypass Apple’s existing privacy policy which limits the collection of user's data.

Vancouver mayor suspends meetings with Chinese government officials
Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart has suspended all meeting requests and contact with Chinese government officials, including a recent invitation to meet with China’s ambassador to Canada.
The mayor’s move is a response to China recently announcing sanctions on individuals in the United States and Canada, including friend and Conservative MP Michael Chong.
“It’s threatening and intimidating and I know that he’s taking it in stride, but that’s reaching a new level of hostility — that’s not diplomacy, that’s bullying,” said Stewart, a former NDP MP who released a book with Chong and Liberal MP Scott Simms in 2017 about reforming democracy in Canada.
