White Terror Looms in Hong Kong as Schools Ask to Ditch Debate Topics on Anti-extradition Bill
White terror continues to loom among schools in Hong Kong. One of the debate topics selected by Hong Kong Schools Debate Federation this year was associated with Anti-Extradition Bill, and was then criticized by pro-Beijing newspaper and Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers, also a pro-Beijing organisation. Sources of Apple Daily revealed that Education Bureau has been calling down the list of participating schools, exerting pressure on them to withdraw, saying “its is not advisable to discuss sensitive issues amid a sensitive time”. It was also said that schools were asked to provide names of those students refused to quit.
Besides, major sponsoring bodies of schools, including Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, Roman Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong and Shun Tak Fraternal Association also made contact with and advised their respective subsidizing schools to withdraw from the contest.
The Federation confirmed that 17 schools has withdrawn from this year’s debate contest so far, among which 5 were Government Schools. The Education Bureau had not responded to whether they had been pressurizing participating schools to drop out. However, the Bureau did stress that students should not participate in any contest that is politically coloured, fearing that it may affect their wellbeing.

Intel deletes mention of Xinjiang in letter after China backlash
US chipmaker Intel has deleted references to Xinjiang from an annual letter to suppliers after the company faced a backlash in China for asking suppliers to avoid the sanctions-hit region.
Last month, Intel was slammed on Chinese social media for a letter to suppliers published on its website. The 23 December letter said Intel had been “required to ensure that its supply chain does not use any labour or source goods or services from the Xinjiang region” following restrictions imposed by “multiple governments”.

UK vows to stand up to "Chinese aggression" and defend Hong Kong's freedoms
In a recent PMQ (Prime Minister's Questions) session, British Prime Minister #RishiSunak was asked to respond to the case of jailed media tycoon #JimmyLai, who is also a British citizen.
Speaking in parliament, Sunak insisted on Britain's right to get involved in its former colony. He pointed out that UK has admitted hundreds of thousands of HongKongers fleeing China's crackdown. He said it will remain robust in standing up to "Chinese aggression".
Sunak also condemned China's oppression and persecution and criticized China for breaking the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
He further stated that he will continue to handle Hong Kong affairs and defend Hong Kong's freedom.
Members of the Conservative Party, including former leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, have met with Jimmy Lai's son Sebastien and called for the UK government to issue a warning to China and consider revoking Hong Kong's special administrative region status if China continues to prosecute citizens.
