Shen Jilan, world's longest serving congresswoman, dies aged 90 in China
As the only delegate to the National People's Congress to have served 13 consecutive terms, Shen had proposed some proposals, including:
- Banning the TV remote in China, forcing all Chinese to watch the state broadcaster CCTV-1;
- Demanding PRC citizens to pass political censorship and receive public security bureau approval before being allowed access to the internet; and
- Censoring the term "corrupt official" to show that the CCP is a great and correct party, while classifying "corrupt officials" as "members of the public who have infiltrated the party".

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.
