District Councilor: Police are Abusing Anti-Crowding Laws to Arrest Citizens and Impose Political Pressure
2314 Prince Edward
District Councilor Chan Po-ming states that he went to the vigil alone and did not know nearby citizens. However, while being searched by the police, he was asked if he was gathering with four other nearby citizens. He noted that these types of events kept happening, and it is unacceptable that the anti-epidemic policy is being used as a political pressure tool.

Hong Kong Police pay late night visit but refuse to show warrant card, Citizen demands explanation
"On 26 March, 3 men and 1 woman proclaiming probe policemen arrived at Mr. Leung’s unit and hammered the door. They said they wanted to follow up a divorce case in 2017. Leung asked them to show their warrant cards, but the group rejected and said “there is no need to do so”. One man threatened Leung: "Don’t point finger, or we will charge you for assaulting police." The four “policemen” left the scene after 10 minutes of confrontation..."

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson's twitter account suspended. Beijing said it was an impersonation account
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang’s twitter account has been suspended. China made a statement that this was an impersonation account, which was not operated by Geng Shuang.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokespersons Hua Chunying and Zhao Lijan both have verified Twitter accounts, while another spokesperson Geng Shuang, also has a twitter account (@gengshuangCHN). Although his account was not verified, the public always thought it was authentic as he has repeatedly issued statements on China’s position, and his posts were widely quoted.
Before “Geng Shuang” account was suspended, the last tweet posted was a video on an American criticising Trump for the handling of Wuhan pneumonia, published on 28 Feb. “Listen to the voice of Americans”, “Geng Shuang” commented on the video. This tweet was also retweeted by the Chinese ambassador in Uganda.
After the account was suspended, the Chinese Foreign Ministry Arms Control Department stated on 19 March that it has been confirmed that Geng Shuang did not open a Twitter account, meaning the account @gengshuangCHN was impersonated.

A 19-year-old Hongkonger wins National Poetry Competition
#EricYip, who is from Hong Kong, won for his poem #Fricatives in the #NationalPoetryCompetition. The 19-year-old economics student from the University of Cambridge has become the youngest person to ever win the competition.
The poem plays with ideas about language to also comment on colonialism, race, migration, belonging and the guilt of leaving one’s home behind.
Yip’s work was chosen by judges Fiona Benson, David Constantine and Rachel Long, who read all the entries anonymously.
Benson said: “Fricatives is an immensely ambitious and beautifully achieved poem. It puts its reader into the position of a student of English as a second language, the fricative consonants tangling our mouths as we speak the poem, and intriguing us with the alternate meanings that rest precariously on the pronunciation. ‘Proper’ achievements – the correct pronunciation, the good education abroad, and the proud parents – are countered by an underworld of political prisoners and risky, grim sex.”
In an interview, Eric Yip told reporters that he was shocked to have won. “Poetry is definitely one of the arts where you get better with age because you have more lived experiences and you read more and you write more.”
Yip, who cites Ocean Vuong as a writer who made him realise he “had a right” to be heard, speaks Cantonese and Mandarin, but writes poetry in English.
Yip won £5,000 for the first prize. The National Poetry Competition also named nine other winners, including 92-year-old MR Peacocke for her poem Out of School.

Chinese #Drones Company #DJI denies accusations of leaking Ukrainian Military Secrets
#MediaMarkt, a German electronic retailer, removed all DJI products from their shelves last week, after sources confirmed that the Chinese drone manufacturer has been leaking Ukrainian Military secrets and locations to Russia.
DJI has responded on Twitter earlier this week, denying any breach of data.
Pulling all the DJI products from over 800 stores across 12 EU countries and Turkey, MediaMarkt only stated that immediate action was needed due to their responsibilities as a corporate, without any further explanation to the cause of the pull. However, in a response to an enquiry from the internet, the company claimed that DJI has been leaking the GPS data of Ukrainian army to Russia, and that they would follow up with situation as it develops.
