#Opinion by Au Ka-lun 區家麟|"Do not get used to the information black hole. When you see Carrie Lam hogging the TV channel as a show host trying to build up momentum for her re-election, or the media being full of new-age programs that only say “the Party is always right,” please keep a clear mind. Listen to those voices that have disappeared, observe what you no longer see, understand the tiny waves that have escaped the black hole, and remember the freedom that used to be there and think of the people whose voices have been stamped out."

"面對資訊黑洞,不要習慣。當你看見林鄭月娥開始佔領大氣電波做節目主持為自己連任造勢,當你看見媒體充斥黨國永遠是對的新時代節目,請保持心境澄明、洞若觀火,聆聽那些被消失的聲音,觀察你沒有看到的什麼,讀懂在黑洞中逃逸的微瀾;記住那些曾經的自由,想念那些遭滅聲的人們。"

The prophecies of Xu Zhimo | Lee Yee
Carrie Lam took the initiative to cancel her US visa, and now she has taken another action to renounce her honorary fellowship from Wolfson College of the University of Cambridge. That Facebook post of hers indeed gave us a bit of joy in sorrows. Some proposed, “Please renounce the British citizenship of your husband and two sons as well, in order to demonstrate your loyalty to the country.” There, we could tell where public opinion lies and where the public’s heart is.
To conclude her post, she wrote, “Despite this unpleasant incident, Cambridge University is still a world-renowned university that many aspire to, and Cambridge, under the pen of Mr. Xu Zhimo, still leaves many beautiful memories for my family and me!” As she bids farewell to Cambridge, one can’t help but recall Xu Zhimo’s “Taking Leave of Cambridge Again”.
Xu Zhimo’s Cambridge era was in 1920-21, but I think the most noteworthy moment of his was his tenure as the editor-in-chief of the Morning Supplement from 1925 to 1926. During this period, he discovered great writers such as Shen Congwen, and predicted how the next century would unfold.
The predecessor of Morning News [Shen Bao] was Morning Bell Daily [Shen Zhong Bao], founded by Liang Qichao and Tang Hualong. Morning Bell Daily published novels, poems, essays, and academic speeches in the seventh edition, so Morning News Supplement was initially referred to as the “Seventh Edition of Morning Bell”. Many articles and works of the New Culture Movement, including Lu Xun’s episodic novella, “The True Story of Ah Q”, was published in here. It was one of the three major publications during the May Fourth Cultural Enlightenment Movement. The Chief of Morning News was Chen Bosheng, and the seventh edition was led by Sun Fuyuan, who gave it the name Morning Bell Daily. Until 1924, when Sun Fuyuan left, it was the “golden age” of the propagation of the new culture. During this period, there was the October Revolution of the Soviet Union, which led to the establishment of the first socialist country, and China’s May Fourth Movement, which developed from enlightenment that promoted liberal and democratic ideas to socialism and salvation that catered to the global trend. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was established, and the Kuomintang (KMT) was transformed into a Lenin-style party. Joining forces, the two parties set up the Republic of China Military Academy (ROCMA), to which the Soviet Union sent representatives to participate in preparation for the Northern Expedition to overthrow the most civilized Beiyang regime (aka the Republic of China) in the early days of the establishment of the Republic of China.
At the insistent invitation of Chen Bosheng, the editor-in-chief of the Morning News, Xu Zhimo agreed to serve as the editor-in-chief of the Morning Supplement in early 1925 after his Europe tour. He started to travel by train to Soviet Russia in March, and then off to Europe. At the time, he was carrying the yearning of most Chinese intellectuals, including Hu Shi, for the realization of the ideal of human equality in the Soviet Union, but he had sensitively noticed the gloomy expressions on the faces of Soviet Russians, the sense that they “had no idea what the smile of natural joy” was. He visited Tolstoy’s daughter in Moscow and learned that Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky’s books were no longer available. Xu Zhimo then wrote a sharp, honest, literary note, “They believe that Heaven is available and achievable, but between the secular world and Heaven there is a body of water, a sea of blood, and humans must survive crossing this sea before they could reach the other shore. They decided first to realize that sea of blood.”
That was the early years of the establishment of the Soviet Union, when the new regime was praised by intellectuals around the world, and inspired Chinese ideologies. The poet’s keen observation foresaw that this regime under the dictatorship of the proletariat would realize a sea of blood.
After returning to China and took over the Morning News Supplement on October 1, 1925, the first thing Xu Zhimo did was to start a series of discussions around the Soviet-Russian issue in the paper. More than 50 fiercely controversial articles on whether to introduce “friendship” or “hatred” towards Russia. At around 5 p.m. on November 29, the Morning News building in Beijing was set on fire by the protestors, which also burned the discussions to ashes.
Why did Xu Zhimo try so hard to discuss Soviet Russia? He said, “China’s problem with Soviet Russia…to date, it has always been a gangrene that has never been removed nor punctured. The pus inside has gathered to a point where it can no longer be silted, and the hidden chaos is so obvious that we can no longer simply ignore.” Therefore, “the problem this time,…to exaggerate a little, is a problem of China’s national fortune, including all possible perversions in the livelihoods of its countrymen.”
The prophecies of the creation of a sea of blood by the Soviet Union, as well as the Chinese people living in perversions, have all came true. Today, we are not only commemorating Cambridge under the pen of this renowned poet, but we should also remember how the Chinese ignored this prophet’s words, and brought about a disaster that is still continuing a hundred years later.
She bid farewell to Cambridge. But Cambridge would never have tolerated the smearing of these hands, which created a sea of blood anyway.

澳洲總理莫里森下令徹查中共滲透政界一事,打蛇隨棍上,麻煩大家再推一次,致函澳洲議員促請國會通過人權法International Human Rights and Corruption (Magnitsky Sanctions) Bill制裁中共。今次鬧大的主要原因,是證據指明中共在澳洲殺叛諜:
//根據澳洲世紀報(The Age)報導,中國情報單位透過陳姓墨爾本商人(Brian Chen),給予澳洲自由黨黨員、墨爾本豪車經銷商趙博(音譯,Bo “Nick” Zhao)100萬澳幣,要他投入議會選舉,趙波1年前向「澳洲安全情報組織」(ASIO)坦承此事。然而,趙波今年3月在墨爾本一間旅店內離奇死亡,目前警方仍未查出趙波的死因。//
這個陳春生野心不小,他的任務是替中共入侵澳洲的藥業竊取機密。初創公司Imunexus在深圳的生物技術比賽中獲得亞軍後,陳春生及其香港公司Prospect Time就在2017年6月接觸這間公司,覬覦它正研發抗體,揭示中國所舉辦的創科大賽就是共諜揀蟀的實驗場。
陳春生先擲1000萬澳元收購股份,再答應提供幾億元研究資金,一間初創怎能不心動?但原來中共的目標不是Imunexus,而是看中這間公司在墨爾本Parkville的生物技術中心的CSIRO大樓設有實驗室,計劃借Imunexus的名義租用側翼整層,以便共諜暢行CSIRO的每一間公司予取予竊。
CSIRO在2013年曾被中國黑客竊取大批機密,花費數千萬澳元升級網絡安全系統,大大增加了中共再入侵的難度,因此陳春生的任務可謂「任重道遠」。然而,他一見澳洲的國安審查官員便露了底,英文爛透,要靠兩個翻譯幫手,而且講不出為甚麼要浪費那麼多錢收購,結果計劃告吹。
澳媒亦踢爆他曾在G20和APEC等政治峰會冒充國際媒體記者,傳媒亦是中共的主要滲透基地,新華社香港分部就是中聯辦的前身,而那些國安人員大多都報稱自己是記者和編輯,進行「聯絡」工作。在匪語,聯絡即是諜務。總部位於香港的中華報業集團官網顯示,陳春生是該公司的「14號新聞工作者」。陳春生之後收買澳洲華裔自由黨人李博,慫恿他競選墨爾本Chisholm區的國會議員。哪知李博年初向ASIO告發,踏上了死路,3月離奇倒斃在汽車旅館。
張曉明曾說:「你們能活着,已顯出中央的包容。」
《悉尼晨鋒報》指陳春生利用一帶一路作掩飾進行間諜工作,他的香港公司Prospect Time International Investments(德鴻國際投資有限公司)與中國兵器工業集團有來往,並做極多國際生意:
//2017年5月,陳春生與泰國前總理英祿、泰國前首相頌猜會面,並與多名政商人士討論合作。隨後,他又前往馬爾代夫,與該國副總統Abdulla Jihad討論一帶一路計劃。2017年7月底,陳春生帶領著一支精英團隊訪問了太平洋島國帕勞,商討價值1.5億澳元的酒店開發項目。2018年5月,他也在菲律賓宣傳基建項目。//
Prospect Time的聯席董事王振海,被指與中共統戰部有關聯,還大打高球外交:
//2018年,王振海被拍到在一場活動當中,向維州州長Daniel Andrews的高級顧問Marty Mei,授予中國商人高爾夫球協會會員資格。在那場活動當中,王振海還被墨爾本華商Tommy Jiang任命為澳洲國際高爾夫球協會主席。《悉尼晨鋒報》報導稱,Tommy Jiang被認為有中國共產黨的支持。//
我還查到這間德鴻國際,在去年12月5日新疆開設分部搞招聘,未知是否涉及關押維人的集中營,僅稱發展一帶一路。現在,澳洲政府已加入剿共,民間亦需要大家造勢,還請大家繼續出手,以香港合縱國際。

Dear Sir/Madam
I am a constituent of your electorate. As an Australian and Hong Konger, I am writing to you as I hold grave concerns over the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Hong Kong.
Since the start of June, millions of Hong Konger have marched on the street and conducted largely peaceful demonstrations on many occasions to voice their opposition to the proposed The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 (known simply as the Extradition Bill) by the Hong Kong Government, which would establish an official extradition mechanism between Hong Kong and China for the first time in history.
The bill has been criticized by the Hong Kong Bar Association as “a step backward” and failing to offer sufficient protections for the accused. The majority of Hong Kong people are in uproar as they harbor deep mistrust towards the Chinese judicial system known for its corruption, disregard for procedural justice, and towing of the official party line.
Oblivious to the depth of animosity, Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive, and the Hong Kong Government ignored the protestors’ demands and ordered the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) to violently crackdown on the protestors. This is what led to the stunning and horrifying footages of police brutality — indiscriminate use of tear gas in crowded residential areas, aiming rubber bullets at the protestors’ face, violently shoving journalists who are just doing their jobs, and arresting seemingly innocent bystanders based on the colour of their clothing or age. To date, over 1200 people have been arrested with many denied the right to be accompanied by their lawyer for unreasonable period of time and subjected to questionable negotiation tactics during their detention.
As the legislative and executive arm of the Hong Kong government show its true allegiance to China and its willingness to sacrifice human rights over economic growth, the people of Hong Kong desperately need assistance from the international community.
What is happening in Hong Kong is of critical importance to Australia. There are currently 100,000 Australian dual citizens currently living in the city. Regardless of their political opinion on the ongoing situation, their safety is at risk due to the disproportionately excessive force and indiscriminate arrests that are being deployed by the HKPF to suppress the protest.
Hong Kong’s instability will negatively impact on Australia’s economy. Hong Kong is one of Australia’s most important trading partner and home to many Australian companies’ regional headquarter in Asia. It also acts as the middleman for many transactions between Chinese and Australian businesses.
The relationship between Hong Kong and Australia are intricate and mutually beneficial. Given the dire situation in Hong Kong, I would like you to consider to following measures to protect the people of Hong Kong, which would ultimately benefit Australia:
1.Introduce the International Human Rights and Corruption (Magnitsky Sanctions) Bill to the parliament. The previous attempt lapsed at the dissolution of parliament at April 11, 2019. The bill is based on precedents from the United States and the United Kingdom and it would give powers to relevant ministers to make Australia a safer place that values universal liberal values.
2.Include human rights protection clauses in the final ratified version of the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and Hong Kong.
3.Consider offering special permanent protection for people from Hong Kong who currently resides or studies in Australia. Many Hong Kongers are highly educated and value western liberal values. This group would be a fine addition to Australia.
4.Vet all visa and immigration applications from Hong Kong and China more thoroughly for the necessity of protecting the integrity of Australia’s national security as some applicants could have active contributed or complicit in the violation of human rights as part of the police force, HKSAR Government, or private companies (for example, Cathay Pacific’s management, which is terminating the contract of staffs whom have expressed sympathy or support towards the protest movement). Recent clashes on university campuses over the Hong Kong protests have also demonstrated that some foreign students neither understand nor value some basic rights we Australians cherish.
I appreciate your time and I look forward to hearing back from you about your position on my proposals.
Yours sincerely,
Your name
