The June Fourth Museum in #HongKong, which is affiliated under @hka8964, reportedly received a warning from government officials that the venue didn't have the proper license to hold exhibitions. The alliance said the move may be politically motivated.news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/bre…
#HongKong government's Food and Environmental Hygiene Department claimed that they received a complaint that the venue didn't have a license to operate so they went to inspect and have begun a legal process against those operating the venue.
Richard Tsoi from the #HongKong Alliance said the museum has organized the same exhibitions over the past 10 years and they were never visited by government officials. He thinks this may be politically motivated and has sought legal opinions on how to respond.
As the annual #TiananmenVigil was banned in #HongKong again this year, the alliance has set up an area inside the June Fourth museum to let citizens lay down flowers as a move to commemorate those who died during the bloody crackdown in #Beijing 32 years ago.
Update: The June Fourth Museum has announced that they will be temporarily suspended until further notice. This is yet another attempt by the government to limit the space for #TiananmenMassacre related events from taking place in #HongKong.

Just In: US President @POTUS announced that among the 80 million doses #COVID19 vaccines that the US is donating to countries around the world, Asia will receive 7 million doses and #Taiwan is among one of the countries that will receive the vaccines. cna.com.tw/news/firstnews…

According to Apple Daily, Japan's Asahi Shimbun is reporting that Tokyo will in fact offer several batches of AZ #COVID19 vaccines to #Taiwan, apart from the 1.24 million that is expected to reach Taiwan tomorrow afternoon. tw.appledaily.com/international/…
The report said the Japanese government wants to take a route that's outside of the regular international framework and take an active role in facilitating the donation of AZ #COVID19 vaccines to #Taiwan within a short time.
The report suggests that the Japanese government originally wants to donate the vaccines to #Taiwan through COVAX, but that will take a much longer time for the vaccines to reach #Taiwan.

Latest for @dwnews: 32 years ago, #HongKong was the safe haven for many #TiananmenSquareMassacre student leaders but this year, it is at the frontline of #China's crackdown or preventing any form of commemoration of the bloody event from happening. dw.com/en/hong-kong-t…
For decades, tens of thousands have gathered annually on June 4 in Hong Kong's Victoria Park, lighting candles and singing songs to remember the victims of the bloody 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
But the tradition is now in danger of disappearing in Hong Kong. Last week, Hong Kong police banned the annual vigil from taking place, citing pandemic-related prevention measures. This marks the second year in a row that the event can't take place in the city.
