Hong Kong | 2017 5 Dec 2018  Legislator Eddie Chu Barred from Village Election on Shaky Grounds Legislator Eddie Chu Hoi-dick was disqualified from running for a local village's representative. Returning officer Enoch Yuen Ka-lok pointed to Chu's 'implicit' stance on Hong Kong independence and said the lawmaker had dodged his questions on his political beliefs, implying that Chu supports Hong Kong independence. Former HKU law dean Johannes Chan does not believe election officer can provide 'cogent, clear and compelling' evidence for disqualification. Eric Cheung, HKU law professor, says the reasons given for Chu's disqualification were weak and Hong Kong courts must clarify the vagueness in election laws. Chu won with a record 84,121 votes in the 2016 Legislative Council election. Critics cite the ban as another instance of civil rights being eroded in the China-ruled city. The move against Chu adds to a list of other democrats who have been banned from contesting elections, fueling fears of tightening political 'red lines' by Beijing. Admiralty .

Tens of thousands of migrant workers, deemed 'low-end population' by the Chinese government, were forcefully evicted from Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, etc in Nov 2017. These raised concerns that the government discriminate against them after doing the dirtiest jobs to build up the mega cities.
