香港四波移民潮✈️

Hong Kong fencer Cheung Ka-long's victory over Italy's Filippo Macchi at the Paris Olympics has sparked an exchange of insults on social media, with Cheung's supporters celebrating his win with posts about pineapple pizzas—widely considered a culinary blunder in Italian cooking. Cheung made Hong Kong history in July by beating Macchi 15-14 in the men's foil. That triumph made Cheung, who had won the Tokyo Games in 2021, the first Hong Konger to bag two gold medals. The bout required three stoppages for video reviews to determine the deciding point as the fencing machine registered scores from both fencers at about the same time. The final point was eventually awarded to Cheung, sparking protests from the Italian side. The Italian Fencing Federation said in a statement that it would file a complaint to the International Olympic Committee and the International Fencing Federation about what it called “unacceptable” refereeing. Italy's Olympic Committee President Giovanni Malagò suggested the selection of referees was problematic, saying “the two judges were from Taipei and Korea in a final between Italy and Hong Kong.” Macchi's supporters also left comments on Cheung's Instagram account to express their grievances. One comment alleged that Cheung's championship was “robbed” and Macchi should be the final winner. In a mockery response, Hong Kongers replied with comments on Instagram about their love for pineapple pizza to defend Cheung and said they would have a lot of pineapple pizzas to celebrate the win. Pizza Hut in Hong Kong and neighboring gambling city Macao also offered free pineapple toppings on any pizzas when dining at its branches on July 30 and 31 to celebrate the victory. But Macchi eventually earned respect from some Hong Kongers after he posted on his Instagram to say that he knows both referees and he did not want to point a finger at them for his loss. He added their decisions have to be respected. Cheung's win also marked the first time Hong Kong has secured two gold medals in the same Olympics. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第七集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第七集「無線電視廣播的衝擊及『香港地』『香港人』意識的明顯出現」 討論大網： 1967年無線電視開始，到1970年代電視成了深入民心的娛樂和資信媒介。其後原本有線廣播的麗的也轉為無線廣播。香港電影也受到電視冒起的直接影響。電視上成功的節目被改編成電影，電視也成了電影人材的培訓地，成功的電視人紛紛被引進電影圈。電視上的戲劇節目和新聞節目也建立了一個清晰的香港人身份認同。以粵語作廣播的電視甚至幫助香港電影由國語主導轉變成粵語主導。香港電影也在1970年代完成了世代交替，上一輩編導多在1970年代退下火線，在香港成長的新一代影人紛紛接棒，單以電影界出身的，吳思遠、洪金寶、吳宇森都開始建立他們穩固的導演地位。新一代影人之外還有新的類型，功夫片、警匪片、黑幫片、賭千片等過去沒有的類型也在1970年代成型。 --------- Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 7 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 7: “TVB's Impact on the Emergence of ‘Hong Kong' and the ‘Hong Konger' Identity" Television Broadcasting Limited (TVB) was founded in 1967 and had, by the 1970s, become a popular and influential entertainment and information program in Hong Kong. Even Hong Kong cinema was directly influenced by the rise of television. Television soon became a training ground for talent in the film industry: successful televisions were often adapted into movies, and it was common for successful television personnel to be introduced into the film industry. Television dramas and news programs also established a distinctive identity for the people of Hong Kong. Cantonese Television even helped shift Hong Kong Cinema's market from being a Mandarin-dominated market to being Cantonese-dominated. In the 1970s, Hong Kong cinema completed a generational transition, with the previous generation of directors and writers retiring from the scene and a new generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong taking over. Notable directors who emerged from this period include John Woo, Sammo Hung, and Tsui Hark, who all established themselves as leading figures in the industry. In addition to new filmmakers, new film genres such as martial arts films, crime films, gangster films, and gambling films also emerged in the 1970s, which had not been seen before. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

Casey and Elisha chat with Joey Siu, a 25-year-old Hong Konger with a bounty on her head, after the Chinese Communist Party accused her of violating its draconian national security law. In 2019, Siu played a pivotal role in organizing large-scale pro-democracy protests. Now, living in exile, her work has anything but slowed. Siu talks about what it was like to leave a home and a family she loved, what it was like to learn about the Hong Kong government's price on her head, and what she's doing next to combat the CCP.

CATO Director of Budget Policy Romina Boccia writes about that. She explains: "Call it an emergency, done. Spend the money on whatever you want." Sadly, that's how it works in Washington. It gets worse. The budget caps that politicians want to evade never even cut spending to begin with. They merely slowed the planned INCREASE in spending. You can watch the video above to see what will happen if government keeps spending like crazy -- and also see a possible solution. ----------------------- To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———————————     https://youtu.be/58frp8Lb6Xc?si=SPAxpGJT5KexWwy2 Yaron Brook: In Defense of Capitalism John Stossel 893K subscribers 142,926 views Aug 29, 2023 Progressives attack capitalism because it lets some become very rich while others stay poor. ----------------------- To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ________________ Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez call such a system “immoral.” But Yaron Brook, chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute says the opposite is true. He points out that the poor were much poorer before capitalism: “We have basically made about $2 a day for 100,000 years. In other words ... we could eat what we farmed and that was it,” Brook tells me. “And then something amazing happened about 250 years ago.” Around that time, a few countries tried capitalism. For the first time, people were allowed to profit from private property. That changed everything. Brook explains: “250 years ago we suddenly discovered the value of individual freedom. We suddenly discovered the value of leaving individuals free to think, to innovate, to produce without asking for permission, without getting the state to sign off on it and we call that the industrial revolution. We got much, much, much richer and it's hard to imagine how much richer we got ... electricity, running water, the things we all take for granted today, but we didn't have 150 years ago ... and yes, some people complain about inequality, but everybody got richer. Even the poor got richer.”   https://youtu.be/DBZI6SN7BGA?si=AeUhbGlKJvDhdO4P 2024 Election: The Trump Biden Rematch. THIS is The Best We Can Do? John Stossel 893K subscribers 185,281 views Aug 22, 2023 The betting odds say a Trump vs Biden rematch is probable. That's sad, since polls also show most Americans don't like either man. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— There is good reason people do not like them. Trump and Biden are both corrupt liars. I'm used to disagreeing with a president's policies. But our two most likely choices are just embarrassing. Here's my new video about that:   https://youtu.be/vVi01vJ4nxM?si=fG2KiTpQPgoAPegx Judith Curry: How Climate “Science” Got Hijacked by Alarmists John Stossel 893K subscribers 821,960 views Aug 8, 2023 Climate alarmists insist there's a “scientific consensus” that says climate change is a crisis, and man causes it! Researcher Judith Curry tells me, “it's a manufactured consensus.” ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Curry was a department chair at Georgia Tech when she spread alarm about climate change. The media loved her then. She claimed there was an increase in hurricane intensity. But then some researchers pointed out gaps in her research: years with low levels of hurricanes. “Like a good scientist, I went in and investigated." When she acknowledged a lack of evidence that hurricane intensity had increased, she was ruthlessly attacked by climate alarmists. Her career suffered. Now Curry reveals nefarious ways “the science” about climate change has been corrupted.   https://youtu.be/wKoB5FYhC6Y?si=-qUOYt0fvgzA5-IQ Government Central Planning Fails—Free People Create Order On Our Own. John Stossel 893K subscribers Subscribed 19K Share 243,218 views Jul 25, 2023 Politicians love to make plans for us. But the best of life happens when politicians just leave us alone. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Economists call the idea “spontaneous order.” Just as a school of fish needs no leader, most of us-in most of life figure things out on our own. Even in my hometown New York City, where authoritarian politicians constantly impose new rules, spontaneous order is occasionally allowed. A perfect example: Central Park. When government ran the park, it was dirty, dangerous and the grass was dead. Politicians let go a little, allowing a nonprofit conservancy [disclosure: I'm a director], manage Central Park. The Conservancy does a better job. Now the park is clean and safe. The video gives more examples of spontaneous order.   https://youtu.be/7vwQimmpuSY?si=MfbVKQRqfqc2ttiv Southern Poverty Law Center Has Become a Left-wing, Money-grabbing, Slander Machine John Stossel 893K subscribers 309,637 views Jul 18, 2023 The Southern Poverty Law Center promises to warn us about dangerous hate groups and extremists. In reality, it smears grassroots activists like "Moms for Liberty" for daring to disagree about policy. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The SPLC is, sadly, powerful. It has nearly a BILLION dollars, and reporters pay careful attention to its reports. They shouldn't. The SPLC is a scam. The SPLC listed the Family Research Council as a "hate group," which led a deranged shooter to attack their office. The SPLC never apologized or removed the group from its list. Instead, it added more groups, such as ones that started in recent years to oppose new "woke" sex and race teaching in government-run schools. The Southern Poverty Law Center has become a hate group itself. It is now a left-wing, money grabbing, slander machine.   Classic Stossel: School Choice Rises from a Flood John Stossel 893K subscribers Subscribed 45,134 views Sep 1, 2023 Exciting things are happening in education.

A repressive regime takes control of your country and threatens you with jail. You can go anywhere in the world, live in luxury. Or stay and go to jail. Jimmy Lai chose jail. A documentary from the Acton Institute called “The Hong Konger” lets Lai explain why he chose jail.

EPISODE 8.12 Devin Gaan In this episode, Brooke sits down with Devin Gaan who uses the pronouns she/her/they/them. She is a Hong Konger, trans, queer, and an artist, who also recently became a student again. She was raised in Hong Kong before her family moved to Seattle in 1992. Where she was supported by her family through transportation into the mountains, even though they took no interest. She finds culture is very important, but something that took years to learn to take pride in. However that appreciation made space for her to learn to embrace her queerness as well. She used to work in the tech world but found she loves to ski and snowboard and is pursuing a certification to become an AIARE instructor. She would love to be in the mountains as much as possible but in the past few seasons, have focused on the quality of the individual and herself. Fortunately for you Brooke and Devin have a rich history filled with valuable stories.

The Chinese Communist Party's totalitarianism is on display as it resumes today the prosecution of Hong Kong's most prominent incarcerated freedom-fighter, Jimmy Lai – this time for sedition.  Mr. Lai's fate is one he shares with over 7 million people of the former British colony whose freedom the Communists falsely promised to respect for 50 years. Like him, they are now enslaved, albeit in an open-air prison.  Jimmy's conviction, which is all but guaranteed by Hong Kong's Beijing-rigged judicial system, is meant to further tighten the screws on the former territory's citizens – and telegraph what awaits those of Taiwan. A new documentary entitled “The Hong Konger” powerfully illuminates Jimmy Lai's courage and sacrifice for freedom. It also shows what the Chinese Communists have in mind for us, a well.  Join the fight to free Jimmy Lai by watching HongKongerMovie.com. This is Frank Gaffney.

Hong Kong rose from poverty to prosperity by adhering to the rule of law and safeguarding freedom of speech, property rights, free trade, and the whole range of personal and economic liberties that made the territory one of the freest places on Earth. As Beijing brazenly violated Hong Kongers' basic rights and autonomy, media entrepreneur and democracy activist Jimmy Lai became one of the territory's leading dissidents and an eloquent champion of human freedom. While Lai defended Hong Kong's traditional liberties, the authorities shut down his popular newspaper, Apple Daily, and threw him in jail, where he awaits trial on trumped up national security charges that could result in life imprisonment.Join us for a screening of an Acton Institute documentary about how Lai's remarkable struggle embodies Hong Kong's spirit and about the greater implications of this contest between liberty and power. A brief discussion will follow the film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Eric, Dan, and Dylan discuss the suspension of the Acton Institute's TikTok account after it shared promotional content for our award-winning documentary feature film, The Hong Konger: Jimmy Lai's Extraordinary Struggle for Freedom. Is it just a weird coincidence that these kinds of suspensions keep happening to accounts that share content that the Chinese Communist Party would disapprove of? How should we think about attempts by Congress to address the risks presented by the TikTok app, which funnels a ton of personal information back to its parent company, ByteDance, in China? Would banning the app even be effective at reducing such a threat to privacy? Next, the guys turn their attention to CPAC Hungary, the Conservative Political Action Conference's latest international summit. What are the lessons we're supposed to learn from Hungary that could actually apply to the United States, which is a vastly different country in almost every conceivable way?Subscribe to our podcasts TikTok Suspends a Film on Jimmy Lai | Wall Street Journal Banned by TikTok: The CCP Doesn't Want You to See The Hong Konger | Isaac Willour, Acton Institute TikTok Claims ‘Technical Error' Led to Suspension of Think Tank that Posted about Hong Kong | National Review Acton Institute on TikTok Stream The Hong Konger On Demand CPAC Hungary Speakers List The GOP-Hungary connection shaping the '24 campaign | Axios I Was Banned From Entering CPAC Hungary's ‘Woke Free Zone' | Politico The Words TikTok Parent ByteDance May Be Watching You Say | ForbesPhoto Credit: ASSOCIATED PRESS Hosted on Acast.

*This episode first appeared on the Eurasian Society podcast and sees Michael Campion step in as guest host.  Sophia Hotung's family were trailblazers in this city; her great great Grandfather Sir Robert Hotung being the first one to really pave the way for Eurasians in society during a time of racial segregation in HK. Naturally, we touch upon some of that fascinating history but we also wanted to ensure that we captured the present and did justice to Sophia's journey, because she is an inspiration to many and a very talented artist and writer in her own right.Sophia is the illustrator behind 'The Hong Konger' and we talk about dropping out of the corporate rat race early, the struggle of entrepreneurship against the backdrop of her 7 (yes 7) autoimmune diseases. We discuss Eurasian identity, disability, and belonging. We talk about the pressures of tiger parenting, societal scorekeeping, self-esteem, and thus the importance of keeping something sacred. Having a hobby or passion that is yours, that nobody else can touch. We end the podcast on some principles and inspirational words to live by. Sophia is wonderfully articulate with a lovely turn of phrase, and I felt that throughout the entirety of our chat there was a great generosity of spirit. She shares things openly because she believes it will help motivate, illuminate, or open doors for others, and the world needs more people like that. I hope that you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation as much as I did. ______The Eurasian Society is a charity that aims to promote and improve the lives of Eurasians through awareness, education and opportunity.

When we look at areas of the world where tyranny and oppression are tormenting people who wish to live free, it's a stark reminder of just how precious the freedoms we enjoy truly are to our way of life. Eric Kohn, director of marketing and communications at the Acton Institute, joined the program to talk about his work on a powerful new movie: The Hong Konger — a moving documentary about China's unprecedented assault on human freedoms in Hong Kong and the inspirational tale of one man who decided to stand up to Beijing's tyranny.

On August 23, 2019, over 210,000 Hongkongers joined hands in a 60 kilometer human chain to protest police violence and to demand democratic reforms. This human chain, called the Hong Kong Way, took place on the 30th anniversary of another human chain protest—the Baltic Way of 1989—in which approximately two million Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians formed a 690 kilometer human chain across the three countries to protest the Soviet occupation. Iverson Ng, an Estonian-based Hongkonger, tells the story. ** This episode was written, edited, and produced by Colin Gioia Connors. *** Transcript available at scandinavian.washington.edu/episode-22-transcript *** Theme music used with permission by Kristján Hrannar Pálsson.

In today's Liberty Minute

For this episode, we're presenting the final evening plenary from Acton University 2022. This plenary was a panel discussion on Hong Kong medial mogul and pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai, the subject of Acton's most recent documentary feature film, The Hong Konger: Jimmy Lai's Extraordinary Struggle for Freedom.When Hong Kong's basic freedoms come under attack, Jimmy Lai finds himself in the crosshairs of the state and must choose between defending Hong Kong's long-standing liberties or his own freedom. This conversation with the filmmakers and interview subjects of The Hong Konger discusses the rise of China, the plight of Hong Kong, the fight for freedom that continues there to this day, and the man at the center of it all: Jimmy Lai.The featured panelists are:Victoria Tin-bor Hui, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Notre DameMary Kissel, Former Senior Adviser, U.S. Secretary of State Mike PompeoSimon Lee, Former Op/Ed Columnist, Apple DailyRev. Robert A. Sirico, President Emeritus, Acton Institute, and Executive Producer, THE HONG KONGEREric Kohn, moderator and Director of Marketing & Communications, Acton Institute, and Associate Producer, THE HONG KONGERJimmy Lai is currently sitting in a jail cell in Hong Kong awaiting trial on national security law charges. Recently, Lai was granted permission to be represented by a UK barrister in the trial, human rights attorney Tim Owen. That decision to allow Owen to represent Lai is being appealed to Beijing for “clarification.” The trail, which was supposed to start on December 1st has been delayed until December 13, and will almost certainly be delayed even further into the future.Subscribe to our podcastsThe Hong Konger: Jimmy Lai's Extraordinary Struggle for Freedom.

This week, Eric Kohn, Dan Hugger, and Dylan Pahman discuss the move by Ukraine's government to prevent churches affiliated with Moscow from operating in Ukraine. How dangerous is this? And why is trying to determine what constitutes a legitimate religion always problematic? Then the guys turn their attention to the protests in China and the delay of Jimmy Lai's National Security Law trial in Hong Kong. How big of a threat to the Chinese Communist Party are these protests? And why should we focus more on marginal improvements in places like China and Hong Kong than on big revolutionary changes? Finally, they take stock of Kanye West's public meltdown and his promotion of anti-Semitic ideology.Subscribe to our podcasts Zelensky proposes preventing Orthodox churches ‘affiliated' with Moscow from operating in Ukraine | New York Times Man, Religion, and Tribalism | Joseph Pearce, The Imaginative Conservative Protests in China are about much more than COVID lockdowns | Rev.

In this account of the rapid erosion of liberties, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and civil and political rights in Hong Kong, Mark L. Clifford's latest book provides an historically in-depth, vivid political analysis of the rapidly changing situation in Hong Kong. When the British ceased its period of colonial rule in 1997, and Hong Kong was returned to the governance of the People's Republic of China, then Chinese Communist Party Leader, Deng Xiaoping promised that Hong Kong would maintain its way of life for the next 50 years. This way of life, the rule of law, and independent judiciary, a democratically elected government, and the sorts of human rights which shape societies in liberal democracies worldwide, were also guaranteed in Hong Kong's mini-constitution - The Basic Law. However, less than halfway through this "One Country, Two Systems" experiment, Hong Kongers rights and freedoms, and its rule of law and the values which have come to form the basis of a unique Hong Konger identity have been crushed. Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World: What China's Crackdown Reveals about its plans to End Freedom Everywhere (St. Martin's Press, 2022) is hard to put down; It is not just the way that Clifford brings to life the characters and pivotal moments in the rising tide of oppression, but also the implications of the situation in Hong Kong for the rest of the world act as a profound warning. This book is unique for its on the ground analysis and the insight it provides in framing Hong Kong as the geopolitical nexus between libertarian values of the West and Communist China's political system.   Mark L. Clifford is the president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong. He holds a PhD in history from the University of Hong Kong. A Walter Bagehot Fellow at Columbia University, he lived in Asia from 1987 until 2021. Previously, Clifford was executive director of the Hong Kong-based Asia Business Council, the editor-in-chief of the South China Morning Post (Hong Kong), and publisher and editor-in-chief of The Standard (Hong Kong). He held senior editorial positions at BusinessWeek and the Far Eastern Economic Review in Hong Kong and Seoul. He has won numerous academic, book, and journalism awards. He was also on the board of directors of Next Digital; the company that published the pro-democracy newspaper, Apple Daily, before it was forced to shutdown in June 2021.  Jane Richards is a doctoral student at the University of Hong Kong.

In this timely book, award-winning journalist and longtime Hong Konger, Louisa Lim, weaves together Hong Kong's fraught political and social history with her own first hand account of the spirit of an indelible city.

'You're not a real Hong Konger if you haven't tasted tear gas' One Country, Two Systems: the idea lies at the heart of Hong Kong's relationship with China. But in 2019, as Hong Kong locked to change their extradition laws, that central concept appeared to be fraying. And so millions of citizens took to the streets day after day. But why was Hong Kong's protest movement so persistent? And what's next? Antony Dapiran is a Hong Kong-based writer and lawyer and the author of City on Fire: The Fight For Hong Kong.

An end-of-the-year surprise episode! In this Side Dish episode, we will discuss The Hong Konger Anthology by Sophia Hotung.  Author and Illustrator Sophia Zoomed in from Hong Kong to chat with me about her life's journey, her art, and her 1st book!  What started as a joke/parody of The New Yorker magazine covers, grew and evolved as a way for Sophia to express her experiences and observations of a place her family has called home for over 150 years. I think you'll really enjoy hearing her stories living both as an insider and an outsider in Hong Kong. You can find out more about Sophia and her book or message her at Sophiahotung.com or follow her @sophiahotung on most social media platforms. If you'd like to connect with me, you can email me at Infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com or on Instagram @theinfatuasianpodcast  Please consider giving us a rating or review on Apple or now Spotify! Hope you all have a wonderful beginning to 2022! More episodes coming soon!  Thanks for listening!   #asian #asianpodcast #asianamerican #asianamericanpodcast #sophiahotung #thehongkonger #hongkong #infatuasian #infatuasianpodcast #representationmatters #applepodcasts #googlepodcasts #spotifypodcasts

In some ways, the fight for democracy in Hong Kong is unique to the region and its relationship with China. However, the protests also feel familiar to anyone who's been watching the Black Lives Matter protests in the U.S. or what's happening in countries like Hungary and Brazil.  This week, we examine what's driving Hong Kongers into the streets, the generational divides that are emerging over issues like universal suffrage and income inequality, and what Hong Kong's relationship with China might look like moving forward.Our guest is On-cho Ng, head of the Asian Studies Program at Penn State and Professor of History, Asian Studies, and Philosophy. He is a native Hong Konger and received both his undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of Hong Kong. Related EpisodesChina's threat to democracies around the worldViktor Orban's velvet repression in HungaryPopulism is not a monolithInside the world's largest democracy

This is a conversation with Shui-yin Sharon Yam, a US-based Hongkonger academic who has been writing on various topics. It is a long conversation about Hong Kong, being a member of the diaspora who may not be able to go back, how Hong Kongers can learn from other people's experiences with disinformation, as well as the emotional cost of that disinformation on Sharon and I. She is Associate Professor of Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies, and a faculty affiliate of Gender and Women Studies at the University of Kentucky. Her research focuses on questions of identity, citizenship, affect, and race. She teaches courses on transnational rhetoric, digital composing, and political emotion.
