Hong Kong’s Fall a Harbinger of Communist China’s Takeover of Free World: Epoch Times HK Director
The suppressive climate in Hong Kong cultivated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) under which attackers can rampage the printing press of one of the city’s independent newspapers with impunity is what Beijing hopes to foist on the West, according to the Guo Jun, director of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times.
Once hailed for its democratic freedoms, Hong Kong has seen a steady rollback of its autonomy since it reverted from British to Chinese rule in 1997. Over the past year, Beijing imposed sweeping laws to criminalize vaguely defined acts of secession, subversion, and foreign collusion, while instituting electoral reforms declaring that only patriots could rule the territory.

Faith and Family Are ‘Values Upon Which We Should Build Our Lives and Our Nation’: Bob Woodson
Bob Woodson, an American civil rights activist and community development leader, detailed some of the principles he’s gleaned from decades of work to help heal and uplift America’s hurting communities, in an interview with The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders.”
Woodson is the founder and president of the Woodson Center, which works to bring training and funding to community-based leaders and organizations, to support efforts to improve neighborhoods.
He said that a core takeaway from his work is the importance of recognizing that “in America, those ‘bourgeois’ values of faith [and] family are still the most important foundation upon which we should build our lives and our nation.”
Amistad Project Lawsuit Seeks to Block Certification of Presidential Electors
A group has brought a lawsuit seeking to block the counting of Electoral College votes from several contested states when Congress meets in a joint session on Jan. 6.
The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society filed the lawsuit on Dec. 22 arguing that the state legislatures of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona were prevented from exercising their power under the U.S. Constitution to certify the presidential electors’ votes cast on Dec. 14. The group claims that a number of federal and state laws had unconstitutionally delegated the authority of state legislatures to certify these votes to state executive branches.
