Student Beaten by Police as Chinese President Visits Hong Kong

Falun Dafa Information Center: During Jiang's visit to Hong Kong to celebrate Hong Kong's return to China, the Hong Kong government denied entry to over one hundred foreign Falun Gong practitioners, including over 90 practitioners from Taiwan. One PhD student from Taiwan was gang beaten by about a dozen policemen. He later said that it was unbelievable to him that the Hong Kong police would treat him so badly.

In a speech given during his visit Jiang said, "Hong Kong is one piece of the everlasting bright pearl of China." But he mispronounced the word bright (Cui Can in Chinese) as broken (Cui Lan in Chinese). Oddly the Hong Kong media did not mention this error. Although it was a mispronunciation, it reflects a truth. The word "one piece" Jiang used already reflects Hong Kong' lost status of being the only "bright pearl" and is now merely another one of many big Chinese cities. Such being the mentality of Jiang, Hong Kong is bound to be easily "broken."
