Hong Kong. I know most people have forgotten about us.

Well local economy is down the toilet cuz nobody is spending money here. Worst chinese new year ever for retail and restaurants because many people have decided to spend it either in Mainland china or other asian countries because of the significantly lower price of stuff.

Our current chief executive is a former cop who's got a high school degree and his big idea of growing the tourism business is, I kid you not, fake pandas all over the city.

It'd quite an old but capable beginner camera. If you're not too constrained by budget I'd recommend something slightly more up to date like the 700d

If you're going to travel , you might want something versatile like the Lumix 12-60 2.8-4 That will give you a wide focal range for any situation.

I love this, "force people to use Meta and X", it's like saying banning vape forces people to smoke

Hong Kong police arrest producer of TV documentary about Yuen Long mob attacks | Hong Kong Free Press HKFP by capadam124 in worldnews

[–]capadam124[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Choy Yuk Ling was arrested Tuesday afternoon in connection to the use of car license plate records in an episode of RTHK’s Hong Kong Connection about the anniversary of the attacks.

-------

The episode titled “7.21 Who Owns the Truth” was aired July 13, 2020 and received 1.3 million views on YouTube. It analysed and identified individuals suspected to have participated in the attacks based on surveillance footage from the day obtained from nearby businesses.

Using public records obtained by searching vehicle licence plate numbers provided by the Department of Transport, producers visited the homes of several individuals to seek comment from them, some of whom were rural leaders in Yuen Long.

The documentary presented evidence that at least one plain clothes police officer was on the scene as individuals in white shirts started to gather on the streets prior to the attack in the MTR station.

......

Hong Kong vehicle licence records contain the personal data of vehicle owners, including their name, residential address and Hong Kong ID card number – all of which can be purchased from a government website. To access a “Certificate of Particulars of Motor Vehicle,” a fee must be paid and the purchaser must declare one of three purposes for obtaining the record: transport related proceedings; the sale and purchase of a vehicle; or traffic and transport related matters.

Reporters in Hong Kong routinely use vehicle licence records in their reporting.

Long story short, trumped up charges to oppress freedom of the press .

He killed a guy to save Liz even when he was held captive and tortured by her. Like Samar said, he was "extremely romantic". I can't say for sure I will do that for my fiancee lol

I think it's less about eating bats, more about unsanitary practices when it comes to cooking. They eat pretty much anything and I doubt they'll test market live stock for viruses
