Blizzard's Huge Free Hong Kong Controversy
Blizzard has been mired in controversy in the last few days after the banning of the pro Hearthstone player Blitzchung after making a political Liberate Hong Kong, the revolution of our times the rallying cry for the protesters in Hong Kong who are fighting to keep freedoms they had from being a British Colony not recognized by the Chinese government. It's a very sticky situation and I tried my best to come at it with a straight head. Without a doubt, I support Hong Kong, I think any Westerner should. But it's hard for a global company like Blizzard to draw a line in the sand and cut off business ties just to hoist a political message that they don't even have any stake in. I apologize for the very heavy and nuanced video, hopefully we can get back to having fun with video games in the next upload!

Chan Tong-Kai, Murder Suspect at Center of Hong Kong Protests, Speaks Out After Release From Jail
The murder suspect at the center of months of unrest in Hong Kong was released from jail, but efforts to prosecute him remained uncertain as a bureaucratic feud continued between the city’s government and Taiwan.
Chan Tong-kai, who admitted in court proceedings to killing his girlfriend in 2018 while on a vacation in Taiwan, was set free from a Hong Kong jail on Wednesday and bowed deeply in apology after some brief comments. His case sparked months of increasingly violent protests in Hong Kong after Chief Executive Carrie Lam tried to introduce deeply unpopular extradition legislation as a result of his case.
Chan was jailed on a related money-laundering charge after Hong Kong determined that it lacked the evidence to prosecute him for the more serious offense in Taiwan. After his release, he apologized for the “irreversible mistake” he made and for the pain he caused the family of the victim, Poon Hiu-wing.
“I am willing to return to Taiwan to face sentence and trial for my recklessness and mistake I made,” Chan told reporters. “To society and the Hong Kong people -- sorry.”
As Chan was driven away, accompanied by a pastor, some reporters chased after his car on motorcycles.
Yet Chan’s fate remains unclear as Hong Kong and Taiwan bicker over jurisdiction, sovereignty and legal technicalities -- disagreements that ultimately stem from political ambiguity over their relationship and animosity between their leaders. While President Tsai Ing-Wen of Taiwan favors independence from China, Hong Kong’s Lam was elected to her current position by a committee dominated by Beijing loyalists, who view Taiwan as a Chinese province.
The back-and-forth between authorities in Taipei and the financial hub continued overnight, even as Hong Kong prepared for Chan’s release. Early Wednesday, Hong Kong’s government criticized Taiwan’s latest plan to send law enforcement officers to collect Chan, saying in a statement that the move showed “disrespect for Hong Kong’s jurisdictional power and is totally unacceptable.”
At the same time, Hong Kong said Chan was a “free man” who could travel as he pleased. “He could go to Taiwan accompanied by persons of his choice. Upon arrival, the authority of Taiwan can arrest him,” the city government said.
The Mainland Affairs Council in Taipei, which manages the island’s relations with China, said Hong Kong must bear responsibility for what happens with the case. “We have made best efforts to demonstrate our highest sincerity to cooperate with Hong Kong but Hong Kong ignored it,” the agency said in a statement.

How a love-fight over a pink suitcase, sparked off Hong Kong's dramatic protests.
China just cannot wait the promised 50 years before getting its hands on Hong Kong and Hong Kongers cannot tolerate China's interference in its liberal and free society. Add to the mix a young love story, murder and an inefficient law and the result is a mass protest against communist China's interference in the region.

China tells Canada to stop meddling in HK affairs
The Chinese Foreign Ministry Commissioner's Office in Hong Kong has condemned what it calls recent false remarks by unnamed Canadian politicians. The spokesman said Canada was confusing violent crime with peaceful rallies and ignoring efforts by Hong Kong police to punish violence according to the law. He emphasized that Hong Kong is part of China.

Hong Kong frees murder suspect whose case triggered protest crisis
Hong Kong man, Chan Tong-kai, who allegedly murdered his ex-girlfriend in Taiwan and the case sparked the months long anti-extradition bill protests, was released from prison on Wednesday.
Chan told the media that he apologise to his ex-girlfriend's family for the tragedy and for creating an irreversible damage and pain.
Suspect whose case led to HKG unrest released
(23 Oct 2019) Hong Kong released a murder suspect on Wednesday in a case that indirectly sparked mass protests in opposition to an unpopular extradition bill.
Chan Tong-kai told reporters after leaving prison that he was willing to turn himself into authorities in Taiwan, where he is wanted for the killing of his girlfriend, Poon Hiu-wing.
I am willing, for my impulsive act and things I did wrong, to surrender myself to Taiwan to face sentencing and trial, he said.
I hope this can make her family feel slightly relieved, and Hiu-wing can rest in peace.
Chan was released after serving a separate sentence for money laundering offences.
Hong Kong authorities were unable to send him to Taiwan because there's no extradition agreement between the two countries.
Hong Kong's leader had amendments in a bid to eliminate the loophole, but it sparked widespread protests over concerns it put residents at risk of being sent into mainland China's murky judicial system.

Taiwan lawmakers warn over Hong Kong’s extradition plan
Hong Kong''s government has proposed an amendment that would allow the extradition of fugitives to Taiwan and China. The move comes as Taiwan prosecutors request the surrender of a Hong Kong youth suspected of killing his girlfriend while they were vacationing in Taiwan. If passed, the amendment would allow Hong Kong to send the suspect to Taiwan for trial. But some in Taiwan are wary of the proposed change. New Power Party lawmakers fear that the measure could be used to send Taiwanese nationals over to China for prosecution. Last year a teen suspected of killing his girlfriend in Taiwan fled to his native Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government is now seeking to amend its laws to allow extraditions in the absence of an extradition treaty. On the face of it, the amendment simply allows Hong Kong to consider such extradition requests on a case-by-case basis. But some fear the measure would let Hong Kong send Taiwanese citizens to China for trial.Hsu Yung-mingNPP lawmakerThe proposal basically treats Taiwan as part of the People''s Republic of China. People doing business or studying in Hong Kong could get extradited to China for remarks they made in Taiwan that infringe upon Chinese laws.Hong Kong''s government previously said that the new measure would not cover suspects in political cases. But the NPP says China could still get its hands on Taiwanese political targets, by accusing them of minor non-political offenses. NPP lawmakers urged Taiwan''s government to lodge a strong protest against the proposed amendment.Huang Ting-huiMainland Affairs CouncilThe Taiwan government absolutely will not accept any move aimed at destroying national sovereignty. So we hope that Hong Kong''s government will take the welfare of citizens of both sides as its foremost consideration.Figures from Hong Kong''s pro-democracy camp, including Eddie Chu, Edward Yiu and Joshua Wong, spoke out against the amendment at a press conference. They warned that if passed, the bill would deal a major blow to Taiwan''s democracy.
Hong Kong murder suspect Chan Tong-kai is set free from prison
Chan Tong-kai, who is suspected of murdering his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan, was released from prison on Wednesday. He was arrested and sentenced to prison in Hong Kong for money laundering. Chan's case prompted the Hong Kong government to propose a fugitive bill, which has since sparked months of unrest in the city.

Hong Kong barrister on Chan Tong-kai's case
CGTN talked to Hong Kong barrister Lawrence Ma over the legal and social aspects of Chan Tong-kai's case. Lawrence Ma said that currently, no laws are governing the fugitive transfer, so Hong Kong and Taiwan should reach an amicable solution. If Taiwan doesn't hold a trial, he thinks it would set a bad example because justice would suffer at the cost of inter-regional politics.

Hong Kong: Protesters form human chain outside UK's HK consulate
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
Masked protesters formed a human chain outside the UK's Consulate in Hong Kong, on Wednesday, urging the UK government to support the anti-government protesters.
What the Chinese communist party is doing right now is not just about the 1.4 billion people in mainland China, it's not just about Hong Kong, it's not just about people in Taiwan this effects the entire world. one protester said.
I think we have the right to decide what kind of future do we want, do we want a more progressive a more open a more just a more fair world or do we want the kind of world the Chinese communist party is prescribing for us. she added.
Protesters were seen carrying signs reading Implement UK Magnitsky act now! and chanting Don't leave us, stay with Hong Kong.
Hong Kong has been rocked by protests sparked by a now-withdrawn extradition bill since March. The rallies later evolved into a wider movement against the government, marked by months of clashes between protesters and the authorities.
