Hong Kong Court Sentences Parentless Autistic Man with Mild Mental Deficiency to 3 Years in Prison
A 38-year-old truck driver with mild mental disability and autism pointed a toy gun at a police vehicle last September.
After being arrested, police found a scalpel and other items in his possession. Under police warning, he confessed that, “I want the police to pay back what they have done to the pro-democracy protesters.”
The driver earlier pleaded guilty to possession of imitation firearms, possession of offensive weapons in public places, and dangerous driving.
The judge said that it was not a crime to feel resented by police brutality. However, seeking revenge by pointing a toy gun at the police vehicle is a crime.
The court sentenced the man, who has been living on his own after the death of his two parents, to 3 years imprisonment.

ADB: China Can Probably Stand On Its Own
In a sign of China's rising strength, the Asian Development Bank announced it may stop lending to the world's second largest economy.
The Asian Development Bank, the Manila-headquartered multilateral lender, may end loans to China in a move being characterized as more about the maturity of China’s economy—now the world’s second-largest—than political posturing. In a recent interview, ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa said a reassessment of whether China still meets the development criteria for further loans could start as early as next year.
Some analysts say the move has a political dimension and is symbolic of the estrangement between China and the West as well as a tectonic shift in geopolitical alliances. In 2016 China created its own infrastructure bank—the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank—but the US and Japan notably declined to join. At just under 7%, Russia is the third-largest contributor to the AIIB’s coffers, after China and India, according to the AIIB’s website.
Although the AIIB’s role in has been described as complementary to ADB’s, the fact that it is offering financial assistance to other countries calls into question China’s need for further aid. When development loans are monopolized by economic superpowers, it promotes economic imbalances that hold countries back, says David Baxter, a sustainable development consultant.
“It is important that aid loans go to countries that really need it,” he says. “China does not.”
