Hong Kong government withdraws funding
In recent days, many universities in Hong Kong have been destroyed by violent protesters, and campus damage has been severely damaged, and some expansion funding has also been affected. The Financial Affairs and Treasury Bureau sent a letter to the Legislative Council Finance Committee on Tuesday, saying that in response to the concerns of lawmakers, it decided to temporarily withdraw two funding projects involving the renovation and construction of medical buildings of the University of Hong Kong, which totaled HK$250 million.
Hong Kong SAR government has withdrawn from the Legislative Council Finance Committee about the expansion of the PolyU library and the establishment of the school's optometry school and the rehabilitation and treatment science teaching and research facilities. The funding reviews of CUHK and Hong Kong University, which were originally scheduled to be discussed at the Finance Committee on Friday, are now affected.
According to the original plan, CUHK plans to use the allocation to build a teaching and research complex for preliminary consulting research, while HKU will use it to improve facilities and develop medical school campuses, involving HK$59.7 million and HK$194.3 million respectively.
The letter from the Financial Affairs and Treasury Bureau pointed out that it was learned that some MPs expressed concern about the two engineering projects. In order for the Food and Health Bureau to have more time to explain to the MPs, the Hong Kong SAR government decided to temporarily withdraw the funding proposal and will strive to submit it again within this legislative year for consideration by the Finance Committee.
At an inter-departmental press conference held by the Hong Kong SAR government on Tuesday, a reporter asked a question about the government's application for campus restoration funds for CUHK. Secretary for Administration Zhang Jianzong said that the cost of the university's restoration project needs to be applied for, and the reasons for the funding will be reviewed during this period. When the application fee reaches a certain amount, the Legislative Council Finance Committee will be required to approve it, and all matters will be handled according to the procedures.
html More than 5,800 people have been arrested since June 16,
Hong Kong Security Secretary Lee Ka-chao said in response to the Legislative Council on Wednesday that since early June this year, more than 900 demonstrations, marches and public rallies have occurred in Hong Kong, many of which have evolved into serious violent violations. As of November 21, the police arrested more than 5,800 people in large-scale public events, of which 923 have been sued.

Citizens lived in panic, and their work, classes, going out and all normal activities were seriously affected. Faced with these serious violations of the law, the police took measures to maintain public safety, curb illegal acts, protect lives and property, and bring thugs to law in accordance with the laws.From June 9 to November 21 this year, the police arrested more than 5,800 people in large-scale public events, of which 923 have been sued.

43 civil servants in Hong Kong were investigated
On Wednesday, Hong Kong Civil Service Director Luo Zhiguang pointed out in writing that since June this year, the authorities have received complaints that alleged that civil servants participated in illegal assembly or violent activities and publicly made remarks to slander the "one country, two systems" and involved 43 civil servants. Luo Zhiguang said that the complaints have been transferred to the department to whom he belongs to follow up. If the relevant civil servants are investigated for serious misconduct or committing criminal crimes, the authorities have or will conduct disciplinary or judicial procedures on them, the relevant civil servants will be suspended.
Luo Zhiguang said that when civil servants are convicted of criminal crimes, the government will take appropriate follow-up actions, including verbal warnings, written warnings, demotions and even dismissals. He stressed that the government has zero tolerance for civil servants' violations and will not tolerate them, but emphasized that only a very small number of civil servants have been suspended at present, and most civil servants are loyal to their duties and adhere to the rule of law.
The Hong Kong civil servants have been exposed several times for "insider" incidents. In September, when patriotic and Hong Kong citizens sang the national anthem to support the attacked local teacher Mr. Li, Hong Kong rioters came to cause trouble. One of them was taken off his mask and some people recognized him as Lin Chihui, a staff member of the Hong Kong Customs. Two days later, Lin Chihui was confirmed to be suspended.

Hong Kong Hung Hom Tunnel reopened
Previously damaged by violent protesters, the Hung Hom Haiti Tunnel, which was closed for two weeks, reopened at 5 a.m. on Wednesday after 1,000 hours of repair. The dragon began to appear at the entrance of the Kowloon Tunnel at about 6:45.
A reporter observed on the scene that everything in the tunnel was working normally, the toll booth had been repaired, the air in the pipeline was also normal, and there was no residual tear gas or burning smell. However, since the History Museum's exit is still closed, vehicles need to transfer into the Red Tunnel, and the road is obviously congested during the morning rush hour.
Due to violent demonstrations, the two major transportation arteries in Hong Kong, Tulu Port Highway and Red Tunnel have been closed for several days, and millions of Hong Kong people have been affected. Xiong Yongda, a senior member of the Hong Kong Transportation Research Society, believes that economic losses are difficult to calculate. "Only counting transportation costs, each person is one yuan per minute, but the impact is so great, the number of items is not simple (but the impact is so great, this number cannot be calculated so simple)."
In addition, although the Red Tunnel resumed and reopened today, there are still a large number of pedestrian roads, traffic lights, railings, etc. destroyed by thugs in many places across Hong Kong, and the restoration has not been completed. The Roads Department temporarily paved cement for these broken and exposed brick roads, which looked like patches on old pants from a distance.
Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has used 372 people and 24 trains in the past few days, and has processed more than 42 tons of garbage. The department has also dispatched street washing trucks to clean up oil stains and pollutants on the road many times. Among them, the number of trains used in Yau Tsim Mong District is 40, eight times that of usual.

"Touching China" nomination
"Touching China's 2019 Person of the Year" recently announced the list of candidates. Vice Chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and founder of Hong Kong Chinese Fund Middle School Wu Shuqing was selected, becoming the only Hong Kong person among the 21 candidates.
On September 10 this year, Wu Shuqing delivered a speech entitled "The True Situation in Hong Kong" with Chairman of the Hong Kong Women's Association Ho Chaoqiong at the 42nd Regular Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.She said that the Hong Kong SAR Government's original intention was to be well-intentioned, but was "robbed" by demonstrators, believing that "the opinions of a small group of demonstrators do not represent 7.5 million Hong Kong people." She also emphasized that extreme demonstrators held the banner of "human rights" but destroyed public property and used violence to cause physical harm to the police and citizens, which essentially infringed on the basic human rights of citizens with different views. The firm and brave statement made them hailed by netizens as "heroes of women and socialites of aristocratic families."
After Wu Shuqing made a clear statement on the anti-violence and supporting the police, the stores of several brands of Meixin Group founded by his father have been continuously damaged by black-clad thugs for several months, with the only purpose of "destroying the voice".
Faced with such a situation, Wu Shuqing chose to give a public speech again to express her concerns and concerns about the situation in Hong Kong. She said that seeing young rioters, even holding American and British flags, they didn’t know what they were doing, and frankly, they were like “zombies” doing a lot of things on social media, but were not aware of the impact on their future.
She also pointed out that among the young people who are studying in college and working in Hong Kong, local young people are the least concerned, while young people from mainland China work hardest. Hong Kong's talents should be aimed at the whole world and go to the whole world.
