Pro-democracy Restaurant Owner and Family Subjected to Police Violence Face Arrest After A Year
In late October 2019, a number of irritant odor incidents were reported in Tuen Mun. Some local residents speculated that the pungent smell was caused by the Tai Hing Police Operational Base.
On October 30,, 2019, hundreds of cvilian surrounded the police base and demanded for an explanation.
During the police dispersal operation, the owner of the restaurant 'Dan Yatai' and her brother were violently subdued by the riot police inside their restaurant and were arrested them on charges of 'obstructing police officers'. The owner and her brother were released on bail the next day.
A year later, 'Dan Yatai' said on their Facebook page on November 13, 2020 that the owner and her brother received a call from the Tuen Mun Police Station and were requested to go to the Police Station.
The owner told Stand News that she and her brother received the call in the afternoon. They were asked to bring their lawyers to the police station on Monday, November 16, but were not informed of their impending arrest.
It was not until her brother pressed further on the question, the police admitted that they would be arrested 'by appointment' and charged with 'obstructing the police officers'.
The owner added that there were a lot of people who got arrested after they were out on bail since last year, so she was psychologically prepared for this. She was confident that she would be exculpated.
On October 30 last year in Tuen Mun, police arrested over 50 civilians. When 'Dan Yatai' reopened on November 12, 2019, a lot of local residents queued up to show their support. Some people wrote encouraging quotes on the restaurant's door.

Pompeo Says Taiwan Has Never Been Part of China, Spokesperson for Taiwan’s President Calls It Undisputed Fact
Speaking about cross-strait issues in a radio interview on 12 November, American time, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said Taiwan is a "model for democracy" and that America’s commitment to Taiwan cuts across party lines, adding that “Taiwan has not been a part of China”. This is a shift from the position taken by the US since it made its three joint communiqués with China in the 1970s and 80s.
Spokesperson of Taiwan’s presidential office, Chang Tun-han, said on the morning of 13 November that he is aware of Pompeo's remarks and that it is an indisputable fact that the Republic of China (ROC) is a sovereign state. He said it has always been Taiwan’s cross-strait and regional policy that the two sides along the Strait should work together to maintain peace and stability in the region on the basis of mutual respect, adding that Taiwan will continue to fulfil its international obligations and contribute to the peace, stability and prosperity of the Taiwan Strait and the region.

Medicine Professor Faces Five Years in Jail for Smuggling Research from US to China
Zheng Guosong, a Chinese American professor at the Ohio State University in the US, has been prosecuted for smuggling research funded by an American subsidy to China. He plead guilty at a court on Thursday, 12 November and faces up to five years in prison. The US Department of Justice accuses him of engaging in “a sophisticated medical research grant fraud”.
Zheng, 58, and his research team received over a fund of over 4.3 million US dollars (about 33 million HK dollars) from the National Institute of Health (NIH) for rheumatism and immunology research while concealing a second fund they had received from China’s National Natural Science Foundation. Zheng admitted that he had lied when applying for the American fund, which he intended to use to support China’s research on rheumatism and immunology. He also admitted that he had made false statements to federal investigators.
